i love it
ah
thank you

we've always trained together anyway and so the recent invasion of ukraine by russia has
really just heightened the focus it's given everybody that additional level
of purpose it's reminded people that there are conventional threats out there uh in this case
russia and therefore as i mentioned it's the strength of the alliance and that coalition
uh that bond of the willing of those nato allies uh to come together uh and you know
the sum is clearly greater than the number of its part technical matters are often challenging
uh because this is a high uh technical capability you know air defense is literally
rocket science uh and it needs um it needs some uh some detailed complicated technical um support
to make sure it all integrates together so largely when we come physically together
that's what we mostly focus on and then the procedures following nato standard doctrine
and our own standard operating procedures allows us then to to conduct our activities together
