French Air Force Dassault Mirage 2000 Fighter Aircraft, Take Off, Flight and Landing

French Air Force flying NATO’s air policing missions in Estonia, four Mirage 2000 fighter aircraft, take off, flight and landing. The mission lasts for four months and sees the French deployed to Ämari Air Base in Estonia, supported by Spanish Air Force and UK Royal Air Force pilots situated in Siauliai Air Base, Lithuania. NATO’s Baltic Air Policing mission is a defensive deployment that sees Allies sending planes to patrol the airspace of the three Baltic States, who do not have fighter jets of their own. The Air Policing programme keeps fighter pilots on alert 24/7 and ready to scramble in case of suspicious air activity near the borders of Baltic Allies. NATO’s Baltic Air Policing mission began in 2004, when Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania joined the Alliance.

Footage includes of the pilots’ day-to-day activities at the air base and GoPro footage shot by the pilots performing training manoeuvres in the skies above Estonia.
