Luftwaffe rebuilds ACE capabilities as Eurofighters exercise in Finland

Germany's Luftwaffe has deployed Eurofighter combat aircraft to Finland as part of a wider revamp of its Agile Combat Employment (ACE) capabilities.

Three Eurofighters from Tactical Air Force Wing 71 ‘Richthofen' based at Laage deployed to Exercise ‘Baana 2024' in Finland in early September as the Luftwaffe and the wider NATO alliance look to reconstitute the concept of off-base operations that was largely lost at the end of the Cold War in the early 1990s.

“For the [Luftwaffe], this [ACE] capability is gaining in importance again. In the context of [NATO] alliance defence, it is necessary to adapt to the circumstances of the partner countries,” the service said of its participation in the multinational exercise in Rovaniemi, in the north of Finland. For the event, the Luftwaffe Eurofighters operated alongside US Air Force (USAF) Lockheed Martin F-35A Lightning II and Finnish Air Force (FiAF) Boeing F/A-18C Hornet aircraft.
