Unity is strength. The old Austro-Hungarian proverb is relevant again in the northern sky Europe. Where to blow against the winds of war that might bring them Wladimir Putin to prolong the campaign against the West guilty of supporting “too much”.Ukrainethe Air Alliance signed by was born Sweden, Norway, Finland And Denmark. In short, a unit that goes beyond the limits Born but which is inspired by NATO. In short, the commanders of the air forces of the four countries have signed a memorandum of understanding to create a combined fleet of over 250 fighters that will respond to a possible Russian threat as if they were a single country.
“The ultimate goal is to be able to work together seamlessly as a single force based on NATO methodology,” he said Bloomberg the Danish Air Force Commander, Major General Jan Damm – Our combined fleet can be compared with a large European country». It is no coincidence that NATO was mentioned, considering Denmark and Norway are already part of it, while Sweden and Finland were pushing to join right after invading Ukraine.
The Thorns of Moscow
The relationship with NATO is the sore point for them Kremlin. Other justifications for invading Ukraine included the ambitions of Kyiv To enter theAtlantic alliance, which in Putin’s interpretation meant having American missiles practically aimed at the home border. What is now happening in camouflaged form in the north. Indeed, Sweden and Finland have always maintained a sort of neutrality in international warfare, while now, in addition to lining up for NATO, they have actively entered the field with the signing of the Scandinavian Pact. Which, in effect, means the tsar has the Alliance’s missiles just one step from home.

It says everything the Chief of NATO Air Command, General Jacob Hecker. And the pact is not insignificant, considering the countries involved have substantial air forces. Norway has 57 f 16 and 37 F-35 (15 more will follow), so the most modern western combat aircraft. Finland has 62 F/A-18 Hornet and ordered 64 F-35s. Denmark can already count on 58 f 16 and ordered 27 F-35s. While Sweden has its own fighter jet, the Gripen C and D – around 90 – will soon be joined by Gripen E, the more modern version. A fleet that seems more than enough to discourage current Russian forces, already weakened by more than a year of conflict.
