Mace XIX (Slovakia)

Post by Hermolaus »

Just learned about a big NATO exercise in Slovakia, which is apparently not covered much by media/spotting community inteligence, including SIS... :?
Here is a short press release from Slovakian MOD:
https://www.mosr.sk/42273-en/na-najvacs ... 19-krajin/
Exercise Mace XIX: 19 countries are participating in this yearʼs largest air exercise in Slovakia
Members of the SVK Air Force along with 19 NATO and Partner Air Forces are participating in Exercise Mace XIX. This 19th edition of the largest air exercise in Slovakia will test the capabilities of almost 300 Slovak airmen and air defenders and the same number of Allied and Partner personnel. The main aim of Exercise Mace XIX is to practise the standard operating procedures for planning and conducting tactical air operations and coordinating Surface-Based Air Defence (SBAD) forces.
[...]
Besides of being interested in list of participating aircrafts and so on,
would be very keen on radio frequencies etc.
Is there anyone from Slovakia on this forum to help me with this?

TIA for ANY info!

Regards!

Indeed they say these stupid "xxx.905" but according to both Slovak AIP and a test made - they transmit on "xxx.900". So make it: 122.900 / 119.150 / 121.300 accordingly ;-)

PS. I really hate this stupid mess they done while introducing 8.33kHz step. While 8.33kHz makes maybe a tiny bit of sense (why not simply 5kHz??), pronouncing x.900 as "x.905" and x.90833 as "x.010" make no sense to me at all! x.900 is still "x.900", no matter the step taken. What's the point of pronouncing it as "x.905"?? Maths!!
