Türkiye’s Ministry of National Defense (MSB) said the first aircraft deployed as part of Steadfast Dart-26, one of NATO’s largest exercises scheduled for 2026, has arrived in Germany.
In a statement posted on the ministry’s social media account, MSB said the aircraft departed from Çorlu Air Base Command and landed successfully at Wunstorf Air Base in northern Germany.
Steadfast Dart-26 will be conducted in Germany from Feb. 8 to Feb. 20 and is among NATO’s most extensive joint exercises this year. Turkey will take part with around 2,000 personnel, including land and naval units.
Separately, the amphibious assault ship TCG Anadolu has transported Turkish land forces assigned to the exercise to the Port of Emden, MSB said. The ministry added that the Turkish Armed Forces continue to carry out their missions with determination both domestically and overseas.
