NATO radar aircraft scan the skies - aboard a 'flying radar tower'<br /><br />With more than 90 aircraft taking part in the NATO exercise 'Ramstein Flag 25' (RAFL25), control and communication between the participants is crucial. The AWACS (Airborne Warning and Control System) works as 'flying sensor,' providing participants in the exercise with the data needed for their missions. Among the 90 plus aircraft participating in the exercise are fighter jets, support aircraft and other assets, which operate from twelve NATO air bases. Europeans have been anxiously seeking details on the timeframe and extent to which the US aims to reduce its engagement in NATO for weeks, in order to coordinate the process of a European defense ramp-up to avoid security gaps in Europe. <br /><br />REUTERS VIDEO<br /><br />Subscribe to The Manila Times Channel - https://tmt.ph/YTSubscribe <br />Visit our website at https://www.manilatimes.net <br />Follow us: <br />Facebook - https://tmt.ph/facebook <br />Instagram - https://tmt.ph/instagram <br />Twitter - https://tmt.ph/twitter <br />DailyMotion - https://tmt.ph/dailymotion <br /><br />Subscribe to our Digital Edition - https://tmt.ph/digital <br /><br />Check out our Podcasts: <br />Spotify - https://tmt.ph/spotify <br />Apple Podcasts - https://tmt.ph/applepodcasts <br />Amazon Music - https://tmt.ph/amazonmusic <br />Deezer: https://tmt.ph/deezer<br />Stitcher: https://tmt.ph/stitcher <br />Tune In: https://tmt.ph/tunein <br />Soundcloud: https://tmt.ph/soundcloud <br /><br />#TheManilaTimes<br />#tmtnews<br />#NATO<br />#RAFL25
