The Italian Ambassador to Vilnius, Emanuele de Maigret, took part today at the Siauliai air base in the handover ceremony between the two Italian Air Force contingents engaged in patrolling the Baltic skies with four Eurofighter Typhoons. The new Italian team will be accompanied for the next four months by the French contingent, equipped with four Rafale aircraft.
This is the seventh time since 2004 that Italy has participated in NATO air policing operations in the Baltic.
