Germany Boosts NATO Security with Eurofighter Jets Deployment to Poland in 2025
August 4, 2025
Approximately 150 soldiers from the Bundeswehr will be on-site throughout the nearly month-long deployment.
The Polish Armed Forces view this operation as a crucial example of alliance cooperation and a commitment to the security of the region.
Starting August 5, 2025, Germany will deploy five Eurofighter jets to Poland for several weeks to assist in airspace surveillance.
Poland, as a member of both the EU and NATO, plays a vital role in supporting Ukraine against Russian aggression and is actively enhancing its military capabilities.
The Eurofighter jets will be stationed at the military airfield in Minsk Mazowiecki, east of Warsaw, with around 150 Bundeswehr soldiers accompanying them.
This relocation marks a significant shift from the German Air Force's previous support operations from Rostock, indicating a stronger commitment to regional security.
The deployment underscores Germany's dedication to protecting NATO's eastern flank and bolstering security in Central Eastern Europe.
This transfer of jets responds to a request from Poland, as confirmed by German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius in January 2025.
