- Air Defender 2023: The Sky's the Limit in NATO's Largest Air Drill | WELT Documentary
In their largest air exercise to date, "Air Defender 23," armed forces from a total of 25 nations, including NATO member states and other countries within European airspace, practiced their responsiveness. With thousands of soldiers and hundreds of aircraft of all types, they send a clear message: We are ready. The maneuvers test the operational capability of the air forces. Every operation is planned down to the smallest detail and is executed as realistically as possible. A challenging task.

The capability to control the delivery of advanced technologies, such as the F-16 A2 and its integrated system components, is a critical aspect of national defense and security. These technologies represent cutting-edge advancements in aerospace and defense systems, offering unparalleled capabilities in terms of speed, agility, and lethality on the battlefield.
One of the key features of these advanced systems is their ability to maintain control and oversight even in environments where reverse engineering or unauthorized replication may occur. Through sophisticated encryption, authentication, and proprietary software systems, these technologies are designed to prevent unauthorized access and replication, ensuring that the integrity and security of the systems remain intact.
It's important to address the fear and uncertainty that may arise among nations when accepting and complying with the delivery of such advanced technologies. While there may be concerns about the means by which these technologies were acquired, such as through agreements or alliances, it's crucial to emphasize that the primary objective is to enhance collective security and deter aggression.
The systems delivered are intended to protect life, preserve prosperity, and uphold the principles of sovereignty and self-defense for all nations involved. They are not intended to be used as tools of coercion or domination, but rather as instruments of peace and stability.
Furthermore, it's essential to underscore that these technologies are not under the control of any single entity or individual acting unilaterally. Instead, they are governed by international agreements, protocols, and standards that ensure equitable access, transparency, and accountability among all participating nations.
In essence, while there may be concerns about the origins or motives behind the delivery of advanced defense technologies, it's imperative to focus on the shared goals of enhancing security, promoting stability, and fostering cooperation among nations. By working together and leveraging the capabilities of these advanced systems, we can collectively address the real threats to our species, such as conflict, instability, and aggression, while striving towards a more peaceful and prosperous world for all.
A few incorrect claims in this documentary. The F-16 can't be refuelled by the A400M. F-16s have to use the refuelling boom system as used by the Boeing KC-135 and Airbus A330MRTT. The A330MRTT also has the hose and drogue system as well. One hose and drogue unit on each wing outboard of the engines and a centreline hose and drogue unit. The KC135 can also have a drogue hose attached to its boom.
The claim that turbofan aircraft cannot deploy hose and drogue refuelling units is rubbish. The A330MRTT does and that system is routinely used.
DW needs to sort out these false claims problems. It is obvious that the narration script wasn't written by people who have any idea about aviation. It's not just this video where it's quite noticeable but in many others that I have watched.
Okay n3rd. Jesus, you act like it's the end of the world. Time to stop being so petty.
@@DroneStrike1776 There's a difference between being accurate and being petty, but I doubt that you would understand that. In your case I am going to quote a Warrant Officer I served with. Grow up and learn something before you are too incapacitated to drop your trousers before you have a crap.
The German Air Force's A400M tanker has two NATO-standard air-to-air refueling (AAR) probes. Why shouldn't the F16 be able to use these?
@@Tyr002 Because the F-16 has boom receptacles not refuelling probes like the F-18, Typhoon, Tornado have. No fixed wing USAF aircraft has refuelling probes. The USN h USMC are the ones who use probes. It's all to do with US interservice politics. The USAF is highly political and very jealous of its "territory". Sometimes I think that USAF sees its sister services as deadly enemies.
@@Tyr002 because it has a diffrent refueling system just look up f16 air to air refueling and it will literally show u the diffrence then google eurofighter air to air refueling u will notic the diffrence

Interesting to see a giant "Stars and Stripes" painted in the tails of German Tornados and A-400s.
SO the dars system does that mean the German soldiers were in Italy or they can just see the system from Germany? Sorry this is soo interesting to me I love fighter jets and i am trying to understand
A warm welcome to Finland and Sweden!

Certainly. It appears you're referring to a scenario where advanced technologies were delivered without a strict requirement for peace, and how efforts to end world wars were motivated by the common threat to humanity rather than serving the interests of a specific alliance. Here's an elaboration:
In historical contexts, advanced technologies have sometimes been provided to nations without a strict requirement for peace as traditionally defined by humanity. Instead, such actions were often driven by strategic considerations, geopolitical interests, or diplomatic alliances. However, it's essential to understand that efforts to end world wars were not solely undertaken for the benefit of one specific alliance or nation. These efforts were motivated by the recognition that the entire world faced existential threats, and preserving the human race was a noble and admirable goal.
The reasoning behind the push for peace was rooted in the shared understanding that continued conflict posed an unprecedented danger to civilization itself. Therefore, diplomatic negotiations, peace treaties, and international alliances were forged not out of self-interest but out of a collective desire to safeguard humanity's future.
For those who understand the truth behind these historical events, the resistance to such efforts or the manipulation of advanced technologies for ulterior motives is not only concerning but also insulting. It undermines the sacrifices made by countless individuals and nations to ensure a peaceful and prosperous future for all humanity, regardless of nationality, ideology, or belief system.
It's crucial for nations and leaders to uphold the principles of peace, cooperation, and mutual respect in their dealings with one another, ensuring that advanced technologies are utilized for the collective benefit of humanity rather than being exploited for narrow interests or geopolitical gains.
elite documentary
25:40. “A Romanian c72…” What? Maybe -surely - a c27J Spartan.
Are lasers going to also be called 'air drills?'
Why nobody on board from Romania to that NATO radar plane ? I think they are smart and very prepared for this kind of tasks .. I saw some videos they are great :) .. in the same time a very good documentary!
I would guess it depends on the aircraft and crew being filmed, NATO has 14, and many more crews.
@@henryvagincourt4502I thought I heard in the documentary that NATO has 25 of these planes. ? Or are you referring to 14 separate crews for the AWACS missions?
@@ryszardfalkowski7917 18 were purchased by NATO, 1 was written off, 3 retired from service.

3:24 lmao,shiver my timbers
that was very funny indeed and stup*d indeed
They are not trying to scare you (or any Russian civilians) specifically, they are just reminding the people around your leader that NATO can actually do the thing they say it can do (ie: join a fight in short notice & in large numbers) so those people will prevent your leader from making a mistake that you would all end up paying for. An even bigger mistake anyway...
As it is opposite to what your government keeps telling you i just have to repeat this: NATO is not an attacking force, they do not in any way WANT a war with Russia & they would never start it, Russia was a NATO member because they want to talk to Russia instead of have a war, they have been trying to avoid a war for decades now, but Russia left NATO & keeps pushing for a large conflict, so this is a reminder that if a large conflict does eventually happen, NATO will actually go and do what they were founded for, which is making Russia "fall out of a window".. 🤷♂
If i were you i would start paying more attention to what's brewing in your country & less about what NATO does to flex on Putler, there are several Russian people inside of Russia more than happy to take Putin's place and make all your lives considerably better within weeks, maybe you should focus on helping those people achieve their goals, honestly so what if NATO did a training, that's not really your concern, you should worry about your own future and that of your family. The fact that so many of you don't appear to do so is literally why you are in this situation.
@@suicidalbanananana who gets into others' businesses here?? and about being capable of doing all that, is something that happens in movies too much talk
@@suicidalbanananana your information is incorrect actually. Russia never joined NATO. Russia had several bilateral agreements for cooperation in counter-terrorism, anti-piracy, counter-narcotics, crisis management, arms control and theatre missile defence. There was never any NATO membership for Russia.
These agreements were strained with Russia's recognition of the break-away regions of Georgia which seceded in 2008. The agreements were finally ended when Russia annexed Crimea from Ukraine.
Russia has not been pushing for a larger conflict with NATO but because Russia always undermines America & Europe's constant global warmongering to protect their currency hegemony, Russia is painted as a villain. Not to say that Russia is an angel by any means, but are her actions any worse than the West's actions in the Middle East and Africa?
If one truly looks at the West with the same energy and without biaise, they would not seem so heroic.
@@Kayy_Kay "Russia is painted as a villain" because Russia is a villain. Russia had the easiest gig in history as Europe's gas station, but chose instead to be a menace to the world.
I can understand why people don't like America due to all the wars they've started. And for exactly the same reason I don't like Russia. The critical difference is that America has never invaded my country, but Russia has, and chopped off a big part of it. This has happened to several other countries as well, indicating that Russia has no respect for the sovereignty and integrity of other countries, while hypocritically making a huge fuss about other countries supposedly "meddling in their internal affairs". Therefore, I'm inclined to side against Russia in geopolitics.
U.S is purchasing 120+ B-1 Lancers and whole lot more for the 2025 defense budget. They are preparing for something big.
You mean B-21s?
@Trust_but_Verify yes sir thank you
B1 is the Lancer. B21 is the Raider.
Paranoid or just fear mongering?
Northrop Grumman will only be producing 10 B21 Raider bombers per year. 100 not 120 and they won't be finished until mid 2030s.

Hoping that Philippines could have this kind of euro fighter jets that protect the souvierienty tirretory and EEZ against China's aggressiveness...
Philippines can't afford it. Besides, "Philippines is a province of China", so why are you so mad at your daddy China for? Philippines can't be trusted, they flip flop all the time. They support and love America and it's troops, then they threaten to kick the US out out and be best friend with China until China goes into their waters and attack their fishing boats. I hope China takes over your waters, then maybe you'll stop trying to threaten the US.
philippines can’t afford it because of corruption in the government
@nestorlasta8392
As i understand a small portion of aid from H.R. 815 bill to Taiwan defense will go to Phillipines too. You certainly deserve help and defense from NATO too in case of threats becoming physical. Pity the pricetag of F35, but i'm sure we'll figure something out in the future collectively. Political and public support is certainly there.
EDIT:
You meant Eurofighter, not F35, which is not much cheaper, but doesn't matter.
I looked into it, and while that $8.12B Indo-Pacific aid will be half spent on US submarine fleet and ability of speedier response by US forces in your region to Chinese agression, around $2B is allocated to direct military assistance to Taiwan _and_ other ones in region under similar threat. Though public details of the bill doesn't specify which other countries will get what in particular and benefits outside Taiwan likely will be indirect. I understand Phillipines are next in line and would be under the same protection by US/NATO forces, notably from bases and submarine fleet in the region.
Then there's your air force, which had stalled the planned upgrade for more then 10 years since you got the only 12 Korean FA-50 fighters, which seems very light, low-budget option. However, looks like even if you didn't get the planned F16s and won't afford F35s, instead you'll get the next and probably best value JAS 39 Gripen from Sweden. They might be light, but have proven themselves to be versatile and durable. Besides Thailand will likely get them too, which is a bonus on coordination front. At least your AF got a lot of other nice toys apart from fighters, which is multiple times more that ex.g. all Baltic states put togeather can afford. Additionally, your Horizon-3 10 year plan of $35B investment in modernising AF (including probably ~10% of that for first order of Gripens) - looks like the best deterrant to China you can have for now. Let's just hope there won't be J-16/Gripen showdowns over your airspace.
1k hours is quite a bit when you factor in the plane only has about 45 mins of fuel without external tanks or refueling. Well the euro fighter probably has more because they have the delta wing for that purpose but it hurts the maneuvering. Everything today is missiles so maneuvering isn’t as important as before
Oooooo ya almost had it. 😎The correct statement is lose all these manned fighters and bombers. FFS 5 Star Air Force General "Hap" Arnold envisioned pilotless (drones) aircraft in the mid 40's!!!!!!!!
Also the entire surface navy and main battle tanks. And cut the Do-Dumbasses budget to 1/4 of the current $1 TRILLION every year.
Germany not a bullet shooted in operation since 80 years. Just powerful merchants.
Eurofighter is still not qualified for Taurus missile.
Porfa pasad éste vídeo al canal en español, se agradecería mucho.
El hora de demanda collectiva a DW por canal en castellano o por menos subtitulos. Buena idea.
AWACS is bassicaly flying office
Ok, the reporter says the A400M can refuel the F-16. How does it do that, since the Airbus doesn’t have a Boom??
This is why I can't take WELT seriously anymore. Not enough research nor rigor go into the quality of the information.
It can refuel other aircraft, you may not see a boom, the one in the video shown may not be our fitted for refuelling. But taken directly from Boeings website: Designed from the outset to be a dual-role transport and tanker aircraft, the A400M provides air forces with a cost-effective way to acquire an air-to-air (AAR) refuelling capability in addition to a versatile logistic and tactical airlifter.
There are F-16 with refueling probes for the mode the A400M is providing. Maybe the US F-16 does not have them, but other nations' F-16s may.
@@marksapollo yes, it can refuel other aircraft. But only with shutes. So it cannot refuel the F-15, F-16, F-35A etc.
@@mangalores-x_x had to look that up. Seems like the F-16’s with those fuel tanks on its back has, or can have probes. Not many F-16 flying nations have those
The A10s were decommissioned (can’t remember year) then re-commissioned then plans now to retire them in 28
That's why I always prefer WELT documentary to DW stuff, WELT is concise, accurate, straight to the point, just good old German style flow of information neatly arranged. They tell you what the mission is, what is being done versus that needs to be done, and what improvements are in the works, clear cut and precise.
If this video was made by DW, half of the show would be about how many women we have in the military, how many lgbtqiapk+ people we have in the military, how many minorities we have in the military, and the great efforts of the German government made in promoting inclusion and diversity because they are still born with the WW2 guilt, a.k.a. stuff that has nothing to do with the topic but solely for their propaganda purpose.
Then the second half would be how everyday German civilians are concerned about a potential war. The way they usually do this is by pulling some random pedestrians off the streets, usually with pink hair and nose rings, to tell you that we are a peaceful nation, we don't want war, we are really worried, the government should really put more money into welfare instead of weapons. This is the so-called "balancing view from the opposite side of the opinion spectrum".
Then the last two minutes would be some minority service woman in a veil who just got done screwing on the fuel tank of the jet who tells you things are not great but it's slowly getting better, and the narrator will conclude with due to current conflicts around the world, we are heading into uncharted waters, blah blah

It's a pity that european countries are highly depending on the US to secure their air space... Who's countries in europe can deploy such amount of aircrafts in such a short periode of time? None of them!
“Don’t mess with us……..or you will see a titanic amount of bureaucracy and shuffling of feet that delays the shipment of much needed weaponry and ammunition that gives Russia months to prepare their defense!”
Youre right. Russians have found a way around that. Its called corruption & bribery. Its also common in other East Eu countries. 😂
When Sadam invaded Kuwait,US and Un come together support to fight back Iraq.This time Russia invade Ukraine no one in UN member come to fight alongside Ukraine😢What happened to UN?
What happened to Iraq during Saddam's time was one of the cunning secret projects, and used the excuses that were announced to the world about Saddam's misdeeds. in fact the US military itself Many gave the true statement of what happened, and felt they were used on Iraq and Saddam as a tool of their interests above

I’m sure it’s a convenient way of directing things but what happens when it goes down then what🤔
It was probably built for this specific air flex.
NATO has many, and they are better. Anything that's built in 1s is either experimental or for a particular purpose so that the military industrial complex can make millions off of 1 and done war toy.
Do not worry NATO has a completely invisible one positioned in Spain.

Canada will send its 5 CF-18s from the 80s that are still flying…emblazoned in rainbow pride colours.
what was it 15% of the US F35s that was combat ready hehe
That's still plenty... Do you even know what ''combat ready'' means?
Little hint: It does not simply mean ''It'll fly alright.''
And?? So 15% is a very good number, but you can resum after a attack it's will take under 2 hours to become 75%. After they 15% deliver their loads they hsve to rearm/refuel. Thats in short exp how it works. 🤏🧠
