From June 12 to 23, NATO countries will conduct the largest aviation exercises in their history, Air Defender 2023. They will take place in countries bordering Russia.

The purpose of Air Defender 2023 is to test the ability to quickly deploy and use the aviation of NATO countries.

Maybe the purpose is to be into position to create a false flag or "accidental" trigger for WW3?

April 5 2023; "NATO will hold the "Air Defender 2023" exercises in Europe from 12 to 24 June": https://www.agenzianova.com/en/news/la-nato-terra-le-esercitazioni-air-defender-2023-in-europa-dal-12-al-24-giugno/

Furthermore, "Air Defender 2023" will be "a response to Russia's war against the 'Ukraine and the new threats for Europe”. With its central position in NATO, Germany will be the hub of operations. The main take-off points will be Jagel and Hohn in Schleswig-Holstein, Wunstorf in Lower Saxony, Lechfeld in Bavaria, Spangdahlem in Rhineland-Palatinate, Volkel in the Netherlands and Caslav in the Czech Republic. For the Luftwaffe, it is a question of showing that the task to defend Germany and NATO "can really be acquitted".

On weekends and overnight, “Air Defender 2023” will not take place. However, the entire airspace affected by the maneuvers should not be closed, with flight altitudes lower than those used by NATO which would remain free.

Kinda weird...military operation with air space not closed? Looks like clear setup for shenanigans and "accidents".
