Since the beginning of December 2025, Eurofighter EF-2000 fighters have been on work at the 22nd Tactical Aviation Base in Malbork as part of NATO Enhanced Air Police (eAP) and NATO safety Assistance and Training for Ukraine (NASU).

Four Eurofighter EF-2000 fighters began to execute on-calls in Malbork On December 6, 2025, and as DORSZ emphasizes, over the past months, they have supported the protection of the Polish sky and the east flank of NATO, showing allied solidarity and interoperability. Their presence was not only a real reinforcement of the Alliance's air defence, but besides a strong signal of commitment to common security.

The RCS Operations Command thanked for the joint vigilance of safety in the sky over the Polish and east NATO flank, calling the presence of German fighters in the 22nd BLT an highly crucial motion of cooperation within the collective defence. Since December Eurofighters stationed in Malbork have been repeatedly being flown in connection with long-range aviation activity of the Russian Federation, executing strikes in Ukraine.
