Turkey sends five jets to Estonia for NATO mission
Turkey has deployed five F-16 fighter jets along with their crews in Estonia as part of NATO's air policing mission, to secure the airspace of the Baltic states from August 1 to November 30, 2026. Turkey intends to lead this mission after assuming command from Portugal, in order to strengthen the alliance's joint air defense. This step follows the incident in June when French Rafale fighters shot down a drone over Latvian airspace, as part of the effort to protect the airspace of member states.
