NATO announced Friday the launch of the Neptune Strike (NEST 22-2), a multi-domain exercise in the Mediterranean Sea by the alliance's Naval Striking and Support Forces.

According to the alliance, the exercise is expected to be completed by October 28, explaining that the "NEST 22-2 highlights the natural evolution of NATO’s ability to integrate maritime warfare capabilities of a carrier strike group to support Allied defence."

NATO forces will simulate air operations with the participation of land-based fighters, air-to-air refueling tankers, and airborne early warning and control aircraft, the military alliance mentioned.

On his part, Christoph Pliet, Deputy Chief of Staff Operations Allied Air Command, said the military exercise "provides a prime opportunity to improve our capacity to work together with Allies in complex and increasingly contested environment."

"Valuable training for NATO multi-domain enhances our vigilance and underlines our commitment to deter and defend," Pliet added.

It is noteworthy that Neptune Strike is the third phase of NATO’s long-planned Project Neptune series, which was elaborated in 2020. Two previous military exercises under this project were conducted in February and May 2022.
