Danish fighter-jets to land in Lithuania Friday for NATO air-policing mission

Four F-16 fighter-jets of the Danish Royal Air Force 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, with various NATO countries providing their capabilities for four-month shifts. This will be the sixth time for the Danish Air Force in the mission since Lithuania joined NATO in 2004.
