Over five thousand troops from various countries’ armies, navies and air forces have taken part in a multinational NATO maritime exercise in the Baltic sea.

The exercise, part of a US-led initiative named BALTOPS, took place on Saturday (June 13) and was intended to demonstrate the resolve of allied and partner forces to defend the Baltic region, according to NATO.

BALTOPS remains a U.S.-led exercise, but this year NATO is responsible for its execution with 50 ships and more than 60 aircraft participating from 17 allied countries.
