“The F-35A Lightning II is the newest, most advanced multi-role fifth generation fighter of the United States Air Force @usairforce. It collects, processes and transmits more information than any other fighter in history. It provides the United States and its Allies with the ability to dominate the air – anytime, anywhere.

These aircraft will take part in Astral Knight 2024 (AK24), a multinational exercise designed to demonstrate allied integrated air and missile defense and effective U.S.-led command to ensure sustained air defense prior to or following the implementation of Article V of the NATO Treaty.

United States Air Forces in Europe units stationed in England and Italy deployed to Poland, Lithuania and Romania during Astral Knight 24 demonstrate our enduring commitment to NATO Allies and throughout Europe.”
