Members of the Army of the Czech Republic in Estonia again after many years

As part of this year's allied military exercise Swift Response 2023, which took place on the territory of Estonia One hundred and sixty members of the 43rd Airborne Battalion from Chrudim jumped off at the Nurmsi airfield on the night of 11-12 May 2023. 

The exercise was attended by six hundred members of Allied airborne units from the United Kingdom, Poland and the Czech Republic. The entire exercise was supported by US Army and Estonian Territorial Defence units (Kaitseliit).

From the perspective of the Czech Armed Forces, this was our largest participation in a military exercise on Estonian territory in history. Our soldiers left a good impression in Estonia not only during this year's exercise, but also during the Baltic Air Policing Mission in 2019. We believe that we will meet them even more often on Estonian territory.
