US Fighter Jets Arrive for NATO Exercise

A-10C ThunderboltFour American A-10 fighter aircraft landed in Estonia on Friday, in anticipation of NATO's Sabre Strike exercise, which begins today and runs through June 14.

The third annual exercise will take place in all three Baltic nations, with the headquarters situated in Lithuania, ground operations conducted at Latvia's Adaži artillery range and the A-10s taking off from Estonia's Ämari airbase to support ground troops, a Defense Ministry press release said.

A total of 1,800 troops will take part, including Estcoy-17, which at the end of the year will become Estonia's last infantry unit to be deployed to Afghanistan.
