F-35, MQ-9, and Destroyers Show Europe's NATO Gap Without US Reserves in 2026
The U.S. Armed Forces announced a reduction of approximately one-third in the number of American fighter jets available for NATO crisis planning, urging European allies to enhance their own military capabilities. This shift, highlighted by U.S. General Alexus Grynkewich, reflects a broader reassessment of NATO's defense posture, particularly in the North Atlantic and Baltic regions.
