Nordic countries unite with 250 fighter jets, posing threat to Russia.

The air forces of Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Denmark have agreed to operate their combined fleet of around 250 fighter jets as a unified Nordic air defense, hoping to deter Russia. The joint force will be a worry for Russia, boasting a significant number of top-tier fighter jets, including F-35s. Sweden and Finland applied to join NATO in May 2022, jolted by Russia's invasion of Ukraine into ending decades of their position of "non-alignment."
