25 countries, 250 aircraft and 10,000 soldiers will take part in the exercise, which has as its object the immediate response of the Alliance in the event of a crisis and the activation of Article 5 for a collective response in the event of an attack against allied territory.
The exercise that will end in June 23 will take place in 6 airforce bases in Europe, mainly in Germany.
Problems are expected to arise in civil aviation, as commercial flights will be banned from time to time.
