NATO forces conducted massive military drills across the North Sea this week involving thirteen member nations. The USS Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier led twenty warships and ten thousand troops through Neptune Strike 25-3 exercises. F-18 and F-35 fighter jets performed coordinated flights while naval vessels practiced combat scenarios.
Russian aircraft buzzed a German frigate at extremely low heights one day before the drills began on September 21. Unidentified drones disrupted air traffic over Copenhagen Airport during the same period. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen warned such hybrid attacks might increase.
Military officials described the exercises as demonstrations of alliance unity and deterrence capabilities. French frigate Bretagne joined American destroyers in simulated boarding operations and amphibious assault training across three seas.
