NATO’s presence in Lithuania NATO’s multinational forces in Lithuania stand ready to defend the Alliance’s northeastern territory. A troop presence that began with a multinational battlegroup in 2017 has now grown in size to include thousands of troops, thanks to the permanent addition of a German Army tank brigade in the country, bringing the total number of troops under NATO control in Lithuania to more than 5,000. This deployment adds a significant amount of combat power, from infantry fighting vehicles and powerful Leopard 2 tanks to artillery and air defence capabilities. Other countries contributing forces include Belgium, Croatia, Czechia, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and Norway.

NATO’s presence in Hungary NATO’s multinational forces in Hungary stand ready to deter aggression and defend Allied territory.  Established in the wake of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the Hungarian Army leads a NATO multinational battlegroup that includes troops from Croatia and Italy. A Turkish mechanised infantry contingent also stands in reserve, ready to reinforce the battlegroup if called upon.  The forces include battle tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, heavy mortars, artillery and air defence as part of its combat power. Hungary is also further protected by the new NATO activity ‘Eastern Sentry’, which boosts NATO’s vigilance along the entire eastern flank with more air, land and sea-based military assets. The activity also includes innovative technologies to tackle new challenges, like the ones we see from drones.

NATO’s presence in Estonia NATO maintains a robust and continuous presence in Estonia as part of its commitment to collective defence. At the core of this presence is NATO’s multinational battlegroup, led by the United Kingdom.  In the air, NATO contributes to the security of Estonia’s airspace and the entire region through the Baltic Air Policing mission. Estonia is also further protected by the new NATO activity ‘Eastern Sentry’, which boosts NATO’s vigilance along the entire eastern flank with more air, land and sea-based military assets.

NATO’s presence in Bulgaria NATO’s multinational forces in Bulgaria anchor the Alliance’s military presence in southeastern Europe. Following Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, a NATO multinational battlegroup was formed and led by the Italian Army, with recent troop contributions from Albania, Bulgaria, Greece, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Romania and Türkiye. Based in Novo Selo, the group regularly trains in combined arms manoeuvres, learning how to simultaneously use artillery, heavy armour and mechanised infantry to leverage their full combat power. If necessary, it can absorb thousands of additional troops and grow in size to a brigade.

German Eurofighter Typhoons secure skies over NATO’s eastern flank The German Air Force, deployed to Romania, are helping to secure NATO’s eastern flank skies as part of NATO’s enhanced Air Policing mission. German Eurofighter Typhoons arrived in August 2025 at Mihail Kogălniceanu Air Base to begin their rotation. Under the enhanced Air Policing mission, the fighters and their pilots stand a 24-hour watch, ready to launch within 15 minutes of alert. While the Romanian Air Force has supersonic fighter jets capable of intercepting an aircraft, NATO Allies deploy rotations of fighters to supplement their capabilities. With more jets on alert, Romania is safer, and NATO is more secure.
