The military exercise is led by Germany and involves 25 countries, with approximately 10000 soldiers and 250 aircraft participating. The exercise is mainly conducted in Germany and aims to simulate the response of NATO member countries to external attacks.
It is worth noting that Japan is the only Asian country among the 25 participating countries. Foreign media reported, citing the German Ministry of Defense, that the Japan Air Self Defense Force will send Japanese made C-2 large transport aircraft to participate in the exercise.
German citizens protest against military exercises
Appeal for peace
On June 10th local time, approximately 300 people from various parts of northern Germany gathered at the logistics hub of the upcoming NATO military exercise, the Wenstov Air Force Base in the Hanover region, shouting slogans of peace and displaying anti war slogans to protest against the upcoming NATO air exercise.
People are worried that the upcoming NATO military exercises will send out wrong signals to the outside world, which may lead to further escalation of the Russia-Ukraine conflict. They called on the German government to make every effort to resolve the Russia-Ukraine conflict through diplomatic means, rather than engaging in an arms race.

The exercise aims to deter Russia
Will worsen the security situation in Europe
Instead of taking measures to cool down the current situation of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, NATO hopes to further pressure Russia with large-scale military exercises. The upcoming so-called "largest scale" NATO air military exercise will only further deteriorate the current security situation in Europe.
Experts analyze that NATO hopes to enhance its strategic deterrence against Russia and enhance strategic cooperation among NATO countries through this exercise. In addition, another purpose of this exercise may be to create an atmosphere for the NATO summit to be held in Lithuania next month.
It is reported that a detailed combat plan against Russia may be passed at the NATO summit. By conducting the "largest scale" air military exercises, NATO aims to create a tense atmosphere, allowing European countries to closely follow the United States and abandon strategic autonomy.
At the same time, Russia has also launched countermeasures through military exercises and strengthened military deployments. Under NATO's step-by-step pressure on Russia, the arms race and military confrontation are intensifying, and the security situation in Europe may further deteriorate.
