The Defence Ministry has reported that US military aircraft will fly over Slovakia between April and May, TASR learnt on Thursday. The flyovers are part of a planned and coordinated exercise by Slovakia's NATO partner. The USA has been granted permission to fly Hercules C-130 aircraft over Slovakia at low altitudes. "Proper diplomatic authorisation has been issued by the Slovak Foreign and European Affairs Ministry in coordination with the Slovak Armed Forces", said Defence Ministry State Secretary Ivan Máčovský. The flights, which should take place in the north and centre of Slovakia, will be monitored.
