Joint military exercise strengthens Balkan armies

Participating countries said the exercise increases regional co-operation and supports regional security.

Balkan militaries are participating in the Immediate Response 2014 military exercise headed by the US European Command (EUCOM) in Pocek, Slovenia.

The Air Force on Sunday announced it was deploying two more nuclear-capable bombers to Europe on top of the three aircraft sent over last week.

The US Global Strike Command press release, quoted by the Defense One portal, announcing the deployment of two B-2 stealth bombers did not specify a threat that the aircraft were responding to.
