AMI and HAF to protect Albanian airspace

Post by Tintin »

Hi all,

Consequence of the accession of Albania into the NATO alliance, the Aeronautica Militare Italiana and Hellenic Air Force will patrol Albanian airspace.
Eurofighters of 36° Stormo of Gioai del Colle and Greek F-16s will perform these missions.

Since 2007, Italy has already been engaged in air policing Slovenia's airspace.

But I assume from home ground, no deployments into Albania?

Yes from home ground, Goia del Colle is on the south-eastern coast of Italy, around 300km from Albania.
