Most of the Mediterranean Sea and the airspace above it are “closed” “conducting a large-scale NATO exercise” Neptune Strike – 2022 “.
NATO has launched an exercise with a strike group of US aircraft carriers, along with the forces of other allies in the alliance, practicing coordinated maneuvers in the Mediterranean.
The exercise, called Neptune Strike, has been running since 2020 and is not designed to test any potential scenarios related to Ukraine, Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said on Friday. White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki said Monday. She said in January that “these exercises will help demonstrate the unity, capabilities and strength of the transatlantic alliance.”
