About 10,000 NATO troops taking part in Steadfast Dart exercise in south of Europe

About 10,000 personnel from nine NATO countries will take part in the Steadfast Dart exercise scheduled to be held in Romania, Bulgaria and Greece from January 13th to February 26th, TASS reports

According to a statement made by NATO, although the exercise is to be held in the south of Europe, it primarily aims at practicing actions near Russia’s borders. "The exercise demonstrates NATO’s ability to rapidly deploy forces from Europe to reinforce the defence of its eastern flank. This reinforcement will occur during a simulated emerging conflict scenario with a near-peer adversary, showing the ARF capability to conduct and sustain complex operations across thousands of kilometres and in any condition,” it reads.

As reported, approximately 10,000 personnel from nine allies and including air, land, maritime and special operation forces will participate.
