One of the fighter pilots involved in the ACE 23 flight exercise, who is also part of the planning team for the exercise, is Daniel Jannerstad. He says that most of the time they will devote themselves to training on offensive operations.
"We should be able to be more offensive. The purpose of the offensive is clearly to deter. We have this ability to do this together.
A complex exercise
Jannerstad describes the exercise itself as incredibly complicated, but he also emphasizes that it is precisely the complexity that shows how good the cooperation is also between the different nations.
"It's a way to show, not only to ourselves, but to others that we can do this together. Being able to perform the complex exercise shows that we can cooperate and are good at it," says Daniel Jannerstad.
