AI Summary
NATO is rewriting its integrated air defense plans for the first time in decades, according to Gen. Alex Grynkewich, Supreme Allied Commander Europe (SACEUR). This revision, expected to be completed by summer, addresses evolving aerial threats like drones and ballistic missiles and follows recent hybrid attacks and drone incursions from Russia into the Baltics and Poland. In response to these incursions, NATO established the Eastern Sentry vigilance activity, which successfully engaged several drones in Polish airspace and two Iranian ballistic missiles targeting Turkey. The new plans aim to thicken defense lines across NATO's eastern flank and incorporate lessons from modern conflicts.
