As Ukraine’s defense partnership with Turkey extends to the air, the air forces of the two nations have discussed the possibility of data exchange “including airspace monitoring” under NATO’s Air Situation Data Exchange program, Ukraine’s Defense Ministry reports. Turkey is a member of NATO. Both countries plan to develop gas fields in their sectors of the Black Sea. Ukrinform reports: “The parties agreed on possible mutual exchange of technical data for monitoring the airspace of exclusive economic zones, which will allow Ukraine to assess the situation in its own exclusive economic zone, preventing possible threats from the Russian Federation.”
