Air Force Laage: Eurofighter on an international exercise!
The Laage Air Force, located in the Rostock district, will also take part in important international exercises next year. As NDR reported, several Eurofighter are planned for the upcoming use in the United Arab Emirates. In the spring of 2025, a small command of Laage will be completed by practice flights as part of the "Desert Flag" exercise "Desert Flag". This exercise brings together air forces from different nations, including the USA, France and Germany to train their operational skills together. The Eurofighter also take the opportunity as a publication exercise, similar to the short -term commitment in Iceland, which has only recently taken place.
At the same time, a move of 19 Eurofighter machines from Wittmund after Laage took place, since the air force base in Wittmund is subjected to comprehensive renovation. According to bundeswehr-journal.de this move has been taken since January 6th, and the remaining machines should remain stationed by the end of January 2024. With the Eurofighers, around 240 soldiers and civilian employees also move to Laage. The troops are alternately rotated between the two locations every two weeks to ensure operational readiness.renovation and modernization in Wittmund
The Wittmund Air Force Base is currently being modernized to make it one of NATO's most advanced horses of air, which has been planned since 2019. The extensive renovation measures are necessary because the existing infrastructure largely dates from the 1960s. From February, the starting and runway will be renewed, which made the move of the Eurofighter to Laage inevitable, as there is no flight operations during the renovation. The Bundeswehr has assured that all construction work is expected to be completed in 2024, which should enable the resignation of the air forces according to Wittmund.
