Allied Air Command lights the afterburners for Ramstein Flag 25, the largest NATO air exercise in 2025.
Synopsis
NATO’s largest air exercise is underway across Europe, with Allies aiming to integrate air forces through a series of intense combat drills against a simulated foe.
Exercise Ramstein Flag 25, orchestrated by NATO Allied Air Command (AIRCOM), involves more than 90 aircraft from 15 Allies flying from 12 air bases across Europe, with Leeuwarden Air Base in the Netherlands serving as the hub. During the drills, Allied fighters will fight through a simulated Article 5 scenario, working in concert with refuelling tankers and early-warning aircraft to beat back a notional invasion of Allied territory.
