A Belgian F-16 jet fighter takes part in the NATO Air Nuclear drill “Steadfast Noon” (its regular nuclear deterrence exercise) at the Kleine-Brogel air base in Belgium on October 18, 2022. NATO on October 17, 2022 launched its regular nuclear deterrence drills in western Europe, after tensions soared with Russia over President Vladimir Putin's veiled threats in the face of setbacks in Ukraine. The 30-nation alliance has stressed that the “routine, recurring training activity” – which runs until October 30 – was planned before Moscow invaded Ukraine and is not linked to the current situation.
