US F-15 fighters arrived in Romania to “strengthen NATO’s presence” in the region. The planes landed at the airbase in the town of Campia-Turziy. This was reported by RIA Novosti, referring to a statement published on the website of the alliance’s air command.
It is noted that the Italian fighters Eurofighter, the American and Romanian air forces will perform joint flights to protect the airspace of NATO allies from 18 to 22 December. “This planned deployment is aimed at ensuring an allied air presence in the Black Sea region,” the website says.
Earlier in December, the US missile destroyer Arleigh Burke (DDG-51) entered the Romanian port of Constanta as part of a “scheduled visit.” “In the Black Sea, Arleigh Burke conducts conventional operations to ensure maritime security as well as regional stability,” the US Navy’s Sixth Fleet said.
