Finnish aircraft took part in NATO exercises in Estonia on Tuesday alongside French, Dutch and Estonian fighter jets.

The Finnish F/A-18 jets visited the Amari air base — home to NATO's Baltic Air Policing detachments — for the first time since 2019. Finland's ambassador in Estonia, said he was pleased with Hungary ratifying Helsinki's membership into the Alliance.

“It is important at the same time to underline that our NATO membership will only be complete when Sweden also joins the alliance," Vesa Vasara said.

Hungary's parliament approved a bill on Monday to allow Finland to join NATO once its application has been ratified by all 30 members of the alliance, ending months of foot-dragging by the ruling Fidesz party on the matter.

Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said last week that Turkey's parliament would also start ratifying Finland's accession, but it held off approving Sweden's bid.
