  • 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.

  • 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.
