According to an announcement, the purpose of the “NATO TIGER MEET 2023” exercise was to provide training and practice for the participants in planning and conducting air operations at the tactical level by applying the doctrine, terminology, and procedures of the Alliance, promoting – at the same time – solidarity between the air forces of NATO member-states and partners as well as showcasing their aviation power.
During the exercise, complex advanced aviation training scenarios were conducted with a variety of air systems, which created a highly demanding operational environment, helping to promote interoperability and synergy as well as increase readiness and combat capability among the participants.
