“With this flight, our transatlantic partner, the United States, has once again demonstrated NATO’s solidarity, unity, collective defense commitments to allies, and the ability to respond quickly to threats as one of the deterrents. “said the Minister of National Defense, Arvydas Anušauskas. “And this is very important for Lithuania, when the majority of the population of our country recognizes the United States as one of the most important strategic partners of our country in the field of defense and supports Lithuania’s membership in NATO.”

This is not the first time that US strategic bombers have conducted such exercises on the Baltic states and other NATO allies. In August of last year, US strategic bombers with other allied fighter jets flew over 30 NATO nations in Europe and North America.

Since 2018, the United States has conducted more than 200 strategic bomber trainings alongside NATO allies, including Lithuanian soldiers, while flying over Lithuania.
