With the increasing complexity and scale of modern military operations, what are the primary challenges faced by NATO in finding large enough locations to conduct operational
training exercises that accurately simulate real-world scenarios, and how are these challenges being addressed or mitigated?
• In the context of the kill chain process, how critical is the establishment and maintenance of secure network links between different entities (such as fighter aircraft, command
centers, and intelligence units), and what measures are being taken to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of these network links to prevent potential disruptions or
cyber threats from compromising the kill chain process?
• Interoperability between high capability air forces and low capability air forces is crucial for effective joint missions. How do you envision these air forces overcoming the challenge
of interoperability, considering differences in technology, equipment, and training, and what measures or initiatives are being implemented to enhance coordination and
cooperation between them?
