and Hyakuri base 120 km northeast of Tokyo,

The exercises involve 12 Eurofighter Typhoon fighters of the
German and Spanish Air Forces, as well as 4 Rafale combat aircraft
of the French Air Force. Japan is represented by six F-15 and F-2
combat aircraft. This is the first time such exercises have been
held.
These aircraft of the Air Forces of Germany, Spain and France
had previously conducted training with American aircraft in the
area of Alaska. After Japan, they are expected to take part in
exercises in the Hawaiian Islands area, and then move to the zone
of Australia and New Zealand. There will be joint exercises with
the Air forces of these countries.
NATO members have recently been more actively involved in
various types of military activities in the Asia-Pacific region. In
2021, in particular, the aircraft carrier group of the British Navy
conducted a series of exercises there. The region was visited by
warships of France and Germany. An Italian light aircraft carrier
and a German frigate are expected to conduct joint exercises with
the Japanese Navy at the end of August.
