The four-star general in charge of U.S. Air Forces in Europe-Air Forces Africa on Thursday highlighted recent deployments and exercises meant to show support for European allies.

But in a conference call with reporters, NATO Allied Air Command and USAFE commander Gen. Tod Wolters said he has not seen a dramatic increase or decline in Russian aviation activity, and said the vast majority of U.S.-Russian encounters are safe.

Wolters pointed to recent deployments of F-15s, F-16s, and B-52s as examples of U.S. support for allies.

“These rotational deployments demonstrate responsive air power capabilities and interoperability while strengthening relationships with our allies and partners,” Wolters said.
