Ramstein Flag 2026 concluded after two weeks of Allied air training across Europe. More than 200 aircraft and assets from over 18 NATO Allies operated across three Joint Operations Areas, generating more than 1,000 sorties while testing Integrated Air and Missile Defence, Agile Combat Employment, ISR, and multinational Command and Control. From highway landings in Finland 🇫🇮 to operations spanning from Norway 🇳🇴 to Spain 🇪🇸, #RamsteinFlag 2026 demonstrated NATO’s ability to train, integrate and operate at scale across Europe.

Glad to welcome 🇭🇷 PM @AndrejPlenkovic to NATO HQ. We discussed preparations in the run-up to the #NATOsummit in Ankara. Croatia is a committed Ally making important contributions to Allied deterrence and defence, strongly supporting stability in the Western Balkans, and continuing to provide vital support to Ukraine

A pleasure to meet 🇱🇻 PM @AndrisKulbergs and to discuss priorities for the upcoming #NATOsummit #Latvia is a valued Ally, contributing to our shared security in many ways, leading by example on defence investment, with core defence spending due to reach almost 5% of GDP this year and as a strong supporter of Ukraine

Looking forward to welcoming Defence Ministers to #NATO HQ tomorrow to discuss final preparations for the #NATOsummit in Ankara Allies will highlight how they’re delivering on commitments made in The Hague last year - investing 5% of GDP in defence by 2035 I expect clear, concrete & credible plans to reach that goal. And many Allies are already showing that they are doing exactly that #DefMin

.@SecGenNATO set out the priorities for tomorrow's #DefMin: 🔹 Progress towards a stronger Europe in a stronger NATO 🔹 More forces, resources and industrial capacity 🔹 Higher defence investment and fairer burden-sharing 🔹 Support for Ukraine nato.int/en/news-and-ev…
