NATO’s Stoltenberg flies in Eurofighter on patrol

STORY: According to a Luftwaffe post on social media platform X, Stoltenberg is catching up on the squadron’s quick reaction alert aircraft contribution towards NATO’s “integrated air defence.”

German media reported in January that German Eurofighters took off from Laage air base to intercept a Russian reconnaissance Ilyushin Il-20M plane which reportedly flew with its transponder switched off.

Stoltenberg was due to meet with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz in Berlin on Friday (April 26).
