Patriot "Germany and Finland are good friends and stand up for each other as strong allies. Finland has strengthened the alliance with its accession to NATO in April 2023 and is particularly important due to the longest alliance border with Russia," emphasized the Deputy Inspector of the Air Force, Lieutenant General Lutz Kohlhaus, when he visited the soldiers at the Mallet Strike exercise. For the first time since joining, German and Finnish armed forces have practiced together to defend the airspace with ground-based weapons. A key objective of the binational air defence exercise Mallet Strike was to improve interoperability between the two air defence systems – the Finnish NASAMS ( National Advanced Surface to Air Missile System) and the German PatriotPhased Array Tracking Radar to Intercept on Target-weapon system. The German air defense system was placed under the control of the Finnish army in order to make the practice of communication structures and chains of command even more effective. Logistical procedures were trained as well as tactical ones. Air Defence Exercise in Lohtaja, May 14–23 The Finnish Defence Forces conducted an Air Defence Exercise on the Lohtaja firing range and military training area in May. The air defense exercise ADEX MALLET STRIKE 1/24 includes both air defence missions and live fire exercises. For the first time since Finland joined NATO in April 2023, the armed forces of Finland and Germany trained together practicing surface-based air defence during the Finnish-led exercise Mallet Strike. A key exercise objective has been to hone interoperability and integration of the German PATRIOT unit with Finnish NASAMS (National Advanced Surface to Air Missile System) for this purpose, the authority over the German unit was transferred to the Finnish Army increasing the effectiveness of training together and practicing communications structures and chain of command. “We wanted to show our national solution of defending our country, our air defence systems, conscripts, the way we train and fight, and what we can bring to NATO,” describes the Colonel Mano-Mikael Nokelainen Finnish Inspector of the Ground Based Air Defence Forces. “I hope and believe our German friends learned something from us – we definitely learned from them,” he added. This type of binational live exercise supports achieving common and individual exercise objectives including different elements of air operations such as reconnaissance or electronic warfare and defence against airborne threats e.g. by surface-based or maritime systems. “I am so proud that together with our Finnish Allies, we made a decisive contribution by participating in this exercise to advance interoperability and deepen integration between our PATRIOT and Finnish ground-based air defence systems,” said Colonel Alexander Zoklits Commodore of the German Surface-to-Air Missile Wing 1. “In doing so, we are making an important contribution to strengthening NATO's integrated air defence, providing credible deterrence and increasing the Alliance's defence capability,” he added. Interoperability enables Allied forces to act together coherently, effectively and efficiently to achieve tactical, operational and strategic objectives. It is essential for all operations in which NATO Integrated Air and Missile Defence is involved and requires a high degree of coordination #siivet #siivetwings #puolustusvoimat -- Siivet-Wings magazine: http://siivet.fi/ For more great aviation videos please see:    / siivet1986
