Four F-16 fighter-jets of the Danish Royal Air Force should land at the Zokniai airport in northern Lithuania on Friday, the Defence Ministry told BNS. The Danish aviators will commence a four-month shift to replace their US colleagues who patrolled the Baltic skies with four F-15 fighter-jets.
The official contingent changeover ceremony is scheduled for next Monday.
The NATO Baltic air-policing mission is conducted from Lithuania and Estonia. This will be the sixth time for the Danish Air Force in the mission since Lithuania joined NATO in 2004.
