The deployment strengthens NATO’s presence on the East Flank in the face of increasing tensions with Moscow
Germany has sent this week Eurofighter-The hunterfly to Poland, as a direct response to ongoing Russian military exercises in Belarus. The aircraft landed on Minsk-Mazowiecki airbase and will be used to patrol the airspace in the region, with a particular focus on monitoring Russian activities near NATO’s eastern border.

“This deployment is a clear sign of solidarity between NATO allies and a reliable remedy for deterrence and defense of our common airspace,” said a spokesman for the German air defense.
In addition to the fighters, around 150 German soldiers have also been sent to Poland. They join forces already stationed in the country, including two Patriot air defense systems and other Eurofighter units.
The measure emphasizes Berlin’s commitment to regional security at a time of increasing instability in Eastern Europe, while NATO intensifies efforts to protect its border-based member states from Russian actions.
