(Adnkronos) – The United States plans to significantly reduce the number of aircraft and warships made available for NATO operations in Europe. This is reported by the ‘New York Times’, citing two senior European officials. The plan includes the reduction of the number of combat aircraft and maritime reconnaissance aircraft, the Nyt further writes, as well as the reassignment of a missile submarine and an aircraft carrier, among other things, the Times reports. These reductions will limit NATO’s surveillance capabilities and its ability to launch long-range attacks, the article concludes.
