From May 4 to 15, Switzerland will join 12 squadrons from nine countries, the government announced in a press release on Monday.
The aim of the exercise, which will take place in realistic scenarios, is to compare and improve the military capabilities of the various forces.
The aim is also to improve “transnational defence capabilities and develop interoperability between NATO and partner countries”.
More than 50 combat aircraft and 1,500 participants are expected.
