If you have travel plans, you might want to pay special attention to these dates.
Air Defender 23, the most significant military exercise ever carried out over European skies, will take place from June 12th until June 23rd, involving the air forces of 25 nations. The unprecedented event will involve up to 10,000 exercise participants and approximately 220 aircraft, 100 from the U.S., including the F-35. The German air force, Luftwaffe, will be in command of the exercise.
Notably, this is occurring adjacent to a war zone, at a time when a Ukrainian counteroffensive might begin.
NATO is planning to transfer F-16 fighters to Ukraine—equipped to deliver B61 freefall nuclear bombs.
The exercise could conceivably produce (or cover) an incident leading to direct NATO involvement in war with Russia. What if an F-16 piloted by a British or American pilot is shot down over Ukraine or Russian territory? What if delivery of nuclear-capable fighters triggers a pre-emptive nuclear strike by Russia, as threatened by Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council?
During the next two weeks, you might want to get a battery-powered short-wave radio, a radiation-monitoring instrument and emergency food, water, medicines, and fuel. If the exercise proceeds uneventfully, you will have added to your disaster insurance.
