Experience the World's Most Powerful Fighters at Air Defender 2023

The Air Defender 23 exercise is the largest air force deployment exercise in NATO history. It shows solidarity within the alliance and transatlantic relations. From 12 to 23 June, more than 10,000 exercise participants from 25 countries will train with more than 250 aircraft led by the German Luftwaffe for air operations in European airspace. The participating countries will mainly be deployed from the airfields Schleswig-Jagel & Hohn, Wunstorf, Lechfeld, Spangdahlem, Volkel and Čáslav.

The three main hubs during Air Defender 23 are Schleswig/Hohn, Wunstorf and Lechfeld. The exercises are mainly conducted in three airspaces over Germany. The training areas are based on areas that have been used by the Air Force for routine training for decades. However, they have been expanded for Air Defender 2023 and are partially connected by corridors. The Eastern training area is temporarily reserved for military use between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM, the Southern training area between 1:00 PM and 5:00 PM, and the Northern training area between 4:00 PM and 8:00 PM.

It is remarkable that so many American aircraft participate in a single exercise in Europe. The US portion of the exercise is led by the Air National Guard. A-10 Thunderbolt II, F-15 Eagle and F-16 Fighting Falcon fighter planes have come over from various ANG units from the United States. The US Navy is also participating with F/A-18 Super Hornets and EA-18G Growlers from the aircraft carrier CVN-78 Gerald R. Ford. Furthermore, aircraft from Greece, Hungary, the Netherlands, Romania, the Czech Republic, Turkey and the United Kingdom are involved in addition to the German Luftwaffe.
