Australian E-7 Wedgetail to Germany

Australian E-7 Wedgetail to Germany

Yesterday, after talks with the German bundeskanzler Scholz (in the run-up to the NATO Summit), the Australian prime minister, Anthony Albanese, has announced the deployment of an E-7 Wedgetail to Germany, for six months from October.

(although no location was mentioned, Geilenkirchen seems the most logical base to me ;-) )

Logical or not, it will be based at Ramstein for the duration of the deployment, according to an Australian newspaper.

From the transcript of the official press conference (in German):
https://www.bundeskanzler.de/bk-de/aktu ... in-2201346
Es freut mich besonders, dass Australien ab diesem Herbst auch einen Beitrag zur Luftraumüberwachung im östlichen Bündnisgebiet leisten und dazu ein AWACS-Flugzeug in Deutschland, genauer gesagt in Ramstein, stationieren will.
