The German Air Force is ending its Eurofighter deployment in Poland, with around 150 personnel returning to Germany from the Malbork base. The Polish armed forces expressed gratitude for the support, highlighting the mission's importance in collective defense against Russian threats. The deployment, part of NATO's Enhanced Air Policing mission, aimed to strengthen the eastern flank amid increasing Russian airspace violations. Incidents of Russian aircraft entering Baltic airspace have risen, prompting NATO responses, including over 300 scramble launches in 2023.
