The exercise was the highlight of NATO's training program this year.. About 1,500 military personnel and civilian specialists took part in them in various locations throughout Europe. The main goal was to assess the combat capabilities of one of NATO's rapid deployment corps as a key army unit of the Alliance.

To prepare the Alliance military for combat in rapidly changing conditions, lessons learned from Russia's war against Ukraine were integrated into the exercise scenario.. This is the first time that Ukrainian experts have been directly involved in a NATO exercise of this type..

The senior national representative of Ukraine at JATEC, Colonel Valeriy Vishnevsky, noted that the involvement of Ukrainian specialists in training exercises under the Article 5 scenario is of fundamental importance. According to him, this indicates the recognition of Ukraine by the North Atlantic Council as one of the most experienced participants in the regional security system.

The exercise management process was carried out from the Joint Forces Training Center in the Polish city of Bydgoszcz. The Loyal Dolos scenario was designed to test the Alliance's ability to operate cohesively across multiple domains simultaneously, focusing primarily on ground operations..

This approach is consistent with NATO's new strategy to create a more connected and adaptive force.

Let us remind you that the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Moscow Region, Kirill Budanov, said during an interview with Suspilny that Russia is interfering in the airspace of NATO states so that the world will talk about it. He noted that the Russian Federation is already forming a strategic reserve for future wars against other states, including for the implementation of an information campaign of pressure on the internal society and external partners of these countries.
