This week at NATO
Secretary General outlines key lessons for NATO’s continued success after a decisive decade at the helm
Speaking at an event hosted by the German Marshall Fund on 19 September 2024, Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg shared five key lessons for NATO’s continued success following a decisive decade at the helm of NATO.
Ukraine joins NATO counter-drone exercise for first time
From 10 to 20 September 2024, over 450 participants from 19 NATO Allies and three partner countries gathered in the Netherlands to test the ability of commercially available counter-drone systems to operate seamlessly together. Ukraine participated for the first time, alongside members of the private sector and research community.
NATO’s fighter pilots go head-to-head
NATO’s fighter pilots met up for a “dogfighting” competition to sharpen their skills in a series of aerial duels high above Ramstein, Germany.
In this video, NATO asks two pilots who duelled each other – First Lieutenant Alexander “Stitch” Grandt of the German Air Force, and Captain Patrick “HObIT” Pearce of the US Air Force – to break down their aerial engagement and tell us what they have learnt from going head-to-head.
NATO reiterates its full support to EU efforts in Kosovo
NATO’s Assistant Secretary General for Operations, Tom Goffus, joined Stefano Tomat, Civilian Operations Commander at the European Union External Action Service, in separate meetings with the chief negotiators of Belgrade and Pristina. The meetings took place in the margins of the EU-facilitated Dialogue hosted by Miroslav Lajcak, the EU Special Representative for the Belgrade-Pristina Dialogue and other Western Balkans issues.
NATO’s Digital Ocean Initiative gets a boost in Portugal
NATO Allies gathered for the REPMUS 24 exercise in Portugal to test the ability of autonomous systems to operate together and to increase Alliance understanding of new threats in the maritime environment. They were joined by representatives of partner countries and organisations, NATO commands, research institutions and industry.

12moWonderfull and amazing publications and stories for NATO. Congretulations to dear LİNKEDİN. And a turkısh poeme from Gönül Pınar Atacı for NATO : NATO : 75'İNCİ DOĞUM GÜNÜ NATO'ya karşı olmak ve düşmanlık yapmak, Tüm üye ülkeleri yalnızlaştırarak riske atmak Ve eski ve yeni sömürgeci işgal ve istila güçlerine koz vermektir, Bunların bölge ve dünya üzerindeki emellerine gel gel demektir. NATO,gericilik,yobazlık,bölücülük yapmaz, Baskıya, ezgiye ve sömürgeciliğe tapmaz. O, tüm üyelerine ve dünyaya beka,barış,güvenlik sağlayan Ve her türlü savaş, saldırı, istila, işgal emellerine karşı olan, Yerel,bölgesel, küresel ve evrensel bir üstün ve özgün kuruluştur. Ve bu en yaşamsal nedenle tüm halkların kalbine taht kurmuştur. HATO, bu yıl 75'inci doğum gününü kutlayarak Bütün dünyaya barış ve huzur mesajı sunacak. En uzun ve en başarılı bir ömür boyu sağolsun varolsun 32 Üyesi başta tüm dünya ülkelerini hep böyle korusun. Gönül Pınar Atacı, 18.8.2024 - 26.9.2024
