February 13, 2023 Dutch F-35s intercept 3 Russian aircraft from Poland.

2 Dutch F-35s carried out a first intercept from Poland. Earlier today, the Dutch quick reaction alert (QRA) was activated in Poland.
The 2 fighters were sent into the air to identify and escort a formation of aircraft. The then unknown aircraft were approaching the
Polish NATO area of responsibility from Kaliningrad. After identification, it turned out to be 3 aircraft:

a Russian IL-20M Coot-A escorted by
2 SU-27 Flankers.

Dutch F-35s remotely escorted the formation and handed the escort over to the NATO partner German Airforce / Luftwaffe with the Eurofighters.

January 27, 2023 : One team, two tasks.
The Royal Air Force's first F-35s (F-014, F-018, F-020) arrived in Poland this afternoon (followed by the F-017, F-016, F-022, F-010, F-011).
From Malbork Air Base in the north of the country, the fighter planes will guard NATO airspace over Eastern Europe in February and March.
In addition to this so-called "Air Policing," there will also be plenty of training with allies. "At the end of the day, this is what you do it for."
Source Mindef.



The Royal Netherlands Air Force is preparing a deployment of their F-35 fighter jets in support of NATO’s enhanced Air Policing
mission in the northeast.

Eight 322sq F-35s are going to deploy to Malbork, Poland, to join NATO’s mission bolstering the defensive posture along the eastern
flank in February and March 2023. While four of the fifth-generation fighters will be employed in support of policing the skies in the
region, the other four aircraft will conduct training and exercise drills with Allies, ready to augment the defensive mission when required.

  With the arrival of the F-023 and the F-024 on January 12th, there was another new F-35A milestone: Leeuwarden Air Base
received the 15th and last F-35A for the 322sq with the F-023. With the delivery of the F-024, the first milestone for Volkel AB is a
fact. During the flight to Leeuwarden Airbase, the two F-35A made a "Low approach" at Volkel Airbase to celebrate this milestone,
after which they went inbound Leeuwarden Airbase. The next five to seven F-35As will be delivered via Leeuwarden AB, where the
first pilots of the 313sq are introduced to the missions with the F-35A.

When the ground crews have completed their training and the infrastructure and buildings are ready, Volkel Air Base can take delivery
of the First Aircraft Arrival (FAA) F-35A 3YYsq (313sq) on June 30.

A New milestone December 27th 2021 : After the IOC Exercise "Frisian Lightning I", Leeuwarden Airbase, "Frisian Lightning II" and
"Frisian Lightning III" The Netherlands has been officially declared Initial Operational Capable (IOC) with the F-35 322 squadron. This
means that Defense is able to temporarily deploy a unit of 4 F-35s with personnel and equipment anywhere in the world.

We write October 25th 2021 ; Exercise "FRISIAN LIGHTNING III" Pilots and ground personnel of the Leeuwarder F-35 sqn will
depart today to Edwards AFB, USA due to the huge distance between the Netherlands and the USA they will make an intermediate
stop for crew rest at Vermont AFB, USA. This is a so-called displacement exercise, which lasts until week47 end October. Exercise
"Frisian Lightning III" is part of a bigger plan.

The Air Force checks whether the squadron can provide sufficient people and resources in a short period of time. It must be able to
deploy a unit of 4 F-35s including personnel and equipment anywhere in the world. That is the so-called Initial Operational
Capability (IOC) that should be a fact by the end of October 2021.

1st Flight : NAF322 F-009, NAF323 F-010, NAF324 F-011, NAF325 F-012 with tanker support "BLUE61" 82-0191 KC-10A 60AMW
2nd Flight : NAF326 F-015, NAF327 F-016, NAF328 F-017, NAF329 F-018 with tanker support "BLUE71" 86-0038 KC-10A 60AMW
The KC-10A "BLUE61 & 71 arrived Sunday October 24th at Mildenhall AFB to support the Atlantic crossing of the F-35A

Exercise "Frisian Lightning I" had previously tested the packing and dispatch preparation of ground equipment and spare parts.
The experiences from that test are applied in the transfer to Volkel and Edwards AFB, USA.

We write November 9th 2020 ; Exercise "FRISIAN LIGHTNING II"
Pilots and ground personnel of the Leeuwarder F-35 squadron will train from today from Volkel Air Base. This is a so-called displacement exercise,
which lasts until Friday November 20th . Soldier loads an F-35. Show options Exercise "Frisian Lightning II" is part of a bigger plan.

In it, the Air Force checks whether the squadron can provide sufficient people and resources in a short period of time. It must be able to deploy a
unit of 4 F-35s including personnel and equipment anywhere in the world. That is the so-called Initial Operational Capability (IOC) that should be
a fact by the end of 2021. (JEDI01 F-009, JEDI02 F-010, JEDI03 F-011, JEDI04 F-012)

Exercise "Frisian Lightning I" had previously tested the packing and dispatch preparation of ground equipment and spare parts.
The experiences from that test are applied in the transfer to Volkel.
