NATO will launch its annual nuclear deterrence exercise Steadfast Noon on October 13, 2025, involving about 70-71 aircraft and 2,000 personnel from 13 to 14 member states.
Conducted in the North Sea region from airbases in the Netherlands, Belgium, Britain, and Denmark, the two-week drill focuses on readiness, coordination, and the safe, secure, and effective management of nuclear deterrence capabilities without using live weapons.
