Slovak Air Force pilots along with their aircraft and helicopters are participating in the 20th NATO Days in Ostrava & Czech Air Force Days, where side by side with NATO allies they are presenting the capabilities vital to the defence of the State and NATO's collective defence. The annual event is also being attended by Defence Minister Jaroslav Naď and Deputy Defence Minister Marian Majer. 

Defence Minister Jaroslav Naď said: “Slovakia is a firm part of the transatlantic alliance, which is the best option for ensuring the defence and security of the Slovak Republic. That's why we are joining this presentation of air forces and assets with those of ours.” Mr Naď congratulated the Jagello 2000 Association, the main organiser, on the event's 20th anniversary.
