The training announcement came just a day after it was confirmed that advanced US military drones will also be operating in Latvian airspace for the next two weeks as part of another training exercise.
Unconfirmed but reliable reports also suggest the US Airforce will send two of its state-of-the art F-22 Raptor fighters to the Baltic states at the end of this week for a visit lasting just a few hours. However, whether an overflight of Latvia will be included remains unclear.
In an interesting aside, sources told LSM recent exercises taking part under the banner of NATO's 'Swift Response' exercises simulated the recapture of occupied Baltic airfields.
From September 14-29 Latvia will be hosting more than 1,000 foreign troops as part of the annual 'Silver Arrow' training drills.
