The unarmed drone, which has already arrived at the Ostrava Mošnov airport, will provide reconnaissance data during simulations.
The international military exercise Ample Strike begins in the Czech Republic today. It will include maneuvers with a U.S. MQ-9 Reaper drone, the same type that was used in this weekend's airstrikes in Afghanistan. The drone arrived on Sunday, the Czech Defense Ministry stated.
Soldiers from eight other NATO countries – France, Hungary, Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, the USA, Slovakia, and the United Kingdom – will join the Czech Army for Ample Strike, which starts today and will last until Sept. 19. In total, there will be 700 soldiers, including 200 from abroad.
