The exercises, codenamed "Resolute Warrior" and held from November 1 to 14 near Latvia’s capital, Riga, involved 3,500 troops and 1,000 tanks, helicopters, drones and armored vehicles from Poland, Canada, Spain and other NATO members.

They aimed to strengthen the alliance’s rapid response capabilities and improve coordination along the alliance's eastern flank.

Latvian Defense Minister Andris Sprūds told Polish state news agency PAP: "We must certainly show our adversaries that we speak with one voice and are strong, as well as capable of mobilizing and assembling our forces."

Danish General Jette Albinus told PAP that the goal was to “integrate various forces within the framework of a multinational brigade.”

The drills include Leopard tanks from Canada and Denmark, Italy’s Ariete tanks and Polish PT-91 Twardy tanks.

The exercises are being organized by a NATO multinational brigade at the Ādaži base in Latvia, where the alliance has maintained a presence since 2017 as part of its Baltic defense strategy.
