According to the German media outlet “The Local”, US Navy Captain Greg Hicks, who is acting as a spokesman of the US European Command,
has confirmed that the Warthogs, after a stop in Germany,
will forward deploy to locations in eastern Europe.
With several airbases able to host the Hogs, it is safe to assume the Thunderbolts may soon operate in the Polish airspace, since Polish Armored Cavalry brigades are currently in process of carrying out field training program related to introduction of the Leopard 2A5 tanks into active service.
What is more, some elements of the U.S. Army have already been deployed to Poland, as a part of Operation Atlantic Resolve.
“While in Germany these aircraft will forward-deploy to locations in eastern European Nato nations,” US Navy Captain Greg Hicks, US European Command spokesman, said in a statement on Tuesday.
