The German Air Force has sent fighter jets to Iceland to conduct training in the High North as part of Exercise Rapid Viking 2023. The exercise is intended to demonstrate Germany’s readiness and ability to swiftly deploy air power to any location.

The Eurofighters are conducting up to eight training sorties each day.
