Finland hosts major air exercise with NATO allies

NATO's newest member Finland kicked off military air exercises on May 29 involving over a dozen countries and a total of 150 aircraft, weeks after the country joined the alliance in the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

For nearly two weeks, soldiers and fighter jets from 14 nations, 12 of which are NATO members, will take part in exercises, mainly over Sweden's northern regions.
