Norway will send fighter jets, air defense systems and soldiers to Poland from December to protect the airport in Rzeszow near the Ukrainian border.
Defense Minister Bjørn Arild Gram said the mission, which is part of NATO's air and missile defense system, will last until Easter. Four F-35 fighter jets and 100 soldiers will ensure the security of the central logistics site. The airport is a crucial hub for the transport of Western weapons to Ukraine, which is under attack by Russia.
