As indicated, a total of 550 Spanish paratroopers made the jump on May 16 near the city of Daugavpils, which is located 120 km from the borders of Russia and 20 km from Belarus, which is called a "close partner of Moscow." The purpose of the exercise was to "test the ability of the Allied forces to react."
The corresponding video was shown online. It shows the landing from two sides of an Airbus A400M of the Spanish Air Force. Following the landing of the Spaniards, units of the 173rd Airborne Brigade of the US Army are to join the maneuvers in Latvia, followed by "live firing exercises."
