Footage filmed during the Orion training exercise in France, shows nato forces using joint military tactics in a mock urban assault against an opposing force who pretend to be a nameless Eastern European nation.

Footage showing NATO forces participating in ORION 23 in Cahors, France. From NATO sources, this training exercise involves around 20,000 soldiers from NATO nations as well as Finnish and Swedish military participation. ORION 23 will last approximately three months and comprises land, sea, air, space, and cyberspace components. There are claims on the internet that the ORION 23 scenario is for a nation bordering Russia and is experiencing problems with pro-Russian militias. It is wrong; the scenario is not for Russia but for Denovia. We will make sure we protect our allied nation of Atropia.
