US Air Defense Forces

The United States has moved part of its air defense systems from Europe to the Middle East amid the war with Iran.

As reported by Censor.NET, CNN said this.

US Commander of the Armed Forces in Europe Alexus Grynkewich announced this during a hearing at the US Senate Armed Services Committee.

According to him, some air defense assets of the European Command were used to protect NATO allies in the eastern part of the Mediterranean.

During the hearing, Senator Angus King asked whether this meant that air defense systems had been redeployed to the Middle East due to the ongoing conflict.

Grynkewich confirmed this information, stating that the relocation of the systems had taken place precisely because of the situation in the region.
