At the Ankara summit on July 7-8, the NATO leadership intends to announce the replacement of the outdated fleet of American reconnaissance aircraft with Swedish long-range radar detection (AWACS) aircraft. This was reported by the Reuters news agency on July 2.

We will talk about the refusal of the North Atlantic Alliance command from the Boeing E-7A radar reconnaissance aircraft with the AWACS complex.

NATO plans to put the Swedish Saab GlobalEye into service instead, the sources said.

The Institute for Security Studies of the European Union reported on June 22 that Europe needs to prepare for a scenario in which the United States ceases to play a key role in ensuring collective defense through NATO. It was clarified that the ultimate goal should be an alliance in which the Europeans provide the basis of the system, and the United States no longer "acts as an indispensable support state."
