POTD: We are NATO
Catching the muzzle flash from a Machine Gun is always a welcome bonus as a photographer, and for today’s pictures, we have a few.
The pictures are from the NATO enhanced Forward Presence Battle Group Latvia (eFP).
The eFP Battlegroup in Latvia describe themselves as a multinational NATO coalition in the Baltic states and Poland to deter aggression and promote peace.

The multinational exercise called Spring Storm was pretty large. 9,000 people trained together.
