NATO asked: To patrol the airspace of Luxembourg? ..

37
NATO officials on the eve circulated a message stating that individual countries of the North Atlantic military bloc decided to strengthen the security measures of their airspace. It also turns out who specifically this kind of security does not suit. These are the countries of the so-called Benelux - Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg.

A NATO spokesman said that now the military aviation Belgium and the Netherlands will conduct joint patrols in the sky of three states, including Luxembourg. Rotation will be performed once every four months. The NATO command will directly manage the mission of air patrolling the airspace of the Benelux countries. Apparently, the command of the entire military bloc has to be activated, on the basis that it is not so easy to develop a program for flying around the territory of Luxembourg itself, given that the distance from edge to edge in this state does not always exceed fifty kilometers ...



NATO asked: To patrol the airspace of Luxembourg? ..


It should be recalled that the airspace of the three countries listed was patrolled before, but in a different mode: the airplanes of the Dutch Air Force patrolled only their own air borders. Belgians occasionally helped the Luxembourg neighbors. NATO Luxembourg has no military aircraft of its own.

At NATO headquarters, they say that the new patrol format will allow for "improving the quality of interaction between the Belgian and Dutch Air Forces."

      And from whom do they even expect an air strike on Luxembourg? And who needs it at all. He was not even occupied by the Germans in World War II - in FIG, who needs a piece of highland 18 by 35 kilometers? It seems to me that the Germans simply passed through it and did not notice - there was no sign that Luxembourg was here. Would notice - would occupy. And how to patrol him with airplanes? Fly by - you will not notice. This is not Russia ...

        Duc, Liechtenstein or Andorra can (if you rent a plane). Definitely, the microworld is also unstable. In Europe, everyone is busy with their problems, they don’t look at their feet, and a new hegemon rises from the dwarf below. Yes Europe - it is so different ...

        Did you confuse Luxembourg with Liechtenstein?)) Luxembourg is not in the mountains, and the territory is larger, and it was occupied by Germany. Moreover, he was attached to the Reich.

    It must be recalled that the airspace of the three countries listed above was patrolled earlier, but in a different regime: Dutch airplanes patrolled only their own air borders.

      For the sake of interest I looked. I heard how many times France fits in the Krasnoyarsk Territory, etc. Counted how many times Luxembourg fits in Russia. 6621 times and still on Monaco will remain ..... laughing And someone needs them to still patrol them? fool fool

    It is true that their homegrown terrorists are switching from autotractors to combat helicopters and airplanes. However, the Barmel men are quickly adopting the experience of their teachers from the NATO group in bringing democracy to the Mediterranean countries, now probably their Barmel students will bring Islamization to the gay union countries.

    It will take special runways. That is, the take-off strip, and after it the landing strip, At the end of the landing strip, the plane turns around and the stripes change places.
