NATO starts Montenegro air policing
A year on from Montenegro joining NATO, NATO has started air patrols over the country which does not have its own fighter jets.
Synopsis
NATO Allies Italy and Greece have begun air patrols over Montenegro on 5 June 2018. Montenegro joined NATO in June last year. NATO air policing missions protect the skies of those Allies that do not have their own air force. There are currently several of these air policing missions across Europe. NATO air policing is a long-running, routine mission to safeguard the integrity of the Alliance’s airspace, a core task of NATO’s collective defence.
Footage includes various shots of Greek and Italian aircraft simulating an interception over Montenegro.
