The defense ministry said on Wednesday that five JAS-39 Gripen aircraft of the Hungarian Armed Forces have been moved to the Skrydstrup air base in Denmark to participate in the Ramstein Flag 2025 multinational tactical-level live-fly exercise underway in Dutch, German and Danish airspace until April 11.
During this year's Ramstein Flag, which is one of the most important NATO fly exercises, Hungarian aircraft will cooperate with fifth-generation F-15 stealth fighters, the statement said.
Aircraft from Hungary's Kecskemet Air Base will also participate in complex deterrence and defense operations in realistic multinational combat settings, it added.
The ministry said that Hungary's air force had proven its preparedness in an international environment multiple times, and the Ramstein Flag 2025 exercise was another important step in maintaining and developing the combat readiness of pilots, fighter jets and staff.
It added that for Hungary's army, Ramstein Flag 2025 was not only a military exercise but a strategically important event that could contribute to increasing the region's security and strengthen ties with allies.
