NATO Allies Unite Against Aggression In Eastern Europe
The Swedish Air Force deployed Gripen fighters to support Polish air defense operations during a major Russian missile and drone attack on Ukraine. The operation, which ended with no violation of Polish airspace, demonstrates NATO’s integrated air and missile defense capabilities. Sweden’s contribution is part of its commitment to NATO’s eastern flank, with the Gripen fighters primarily based in Sweden and a smaller forward presence in Poland. The Swedish Air Force is also set to send a Patriot air defense unit to Poland from December. This development was reported by AeroTime.
