NATO is set to conduct its annual nuclear exercise, Steadfast Noon, focusing on the protection of nuclear weapons. The drill, led by the Netherlands, will involve 71 aircraft from 14 NATO countries and will run for about two weeks. It aims to ensure the credibility and safety of NATO's nuclear deterrent amidst heightened security concerns due to drone incursions, some attributed to Russia. The exercise will not involve live munitions and will take place primarily in the North Sea, with participation from the US, UK, Finland, and Poland. NATO officials emphasize that the exercise is not directed at any specific country, including Russia. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
