The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) will have fifth-generation F-35 Lightning II fighters on two air policing missions in Europe. Stealth jets will be deployed over the next few months in Iceland and Poland.

With these eight modern fighters, the Norway contributes to NATO’s air policing and air defense missions in deterring and, if necessary, defending Allied territory

Norway has sent four F-35 Lighting II fighters to police Iceland’s airspace, marking the first deployment abroad for the Royal Norwegian Air Force’s most advanced fighter.

NATO’s Air Policing mission in Iceland, formally called Airborne Surveillance and Interception Capabilities to meet Iceland’s Peacetime Preparedness Needs, is responsible for monitoring the airspace in and around Iceland while ensuring that all air traffic is identified. Because Iceland has no military, Allies provide this service on a rotating basis.
