For the first time since becoming a full NATO Ally, Sweden hosted NATO forces for the annual maritime exercise BALTOPS 2024. More than 20 NATO Allies, including 50 ships and dozens of aircraft, participated in BALTOPS. The Baltic Sea region is critical to protecting due to its trade and energy routes. The exercise was led by U.S. Naval Forces Europe-Africa and the U.S. Sixth Fleet. #military #nato #tank #sweden #army #militaryexercise #baltops2024
