RAMSTEIN, Germany -- Türkiye successfully execute NEXUS ACE training exercise from Konya Air Base in Türkiye, reinforcing Allied cohesion and operational readiness in the region.

Between August 26 to 28 and September 2 to 5, 2025, NATO's Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) aircraft, currently deployed to Konya Air Base, Türkiye, executed a tactical training event alongside the Turkish Air Force's E-7T aircraft and F-16 fighter jets. The event known as NEXUS ACE is part of the Tailored Assurance Measures for Türkiye (TAM-T) mission.

NEXUS ACE served as a vital training opportunity, bringing together NATO's AWACS with Turkish Air Force units in a demanding and realistic operational environment. The coordinated exercise focused on strengthening interoperability, command and control, and operational coordination within NATO airspace.

TAM-T missions are crucial in elevating the readiness level of NATO forces. These activities not only reinforce regional security but also ensure NATO forces maintain a high state of readiness to respond to evolving security challenges.
