Four Eurofighter Typhoon aircraft of the Italian Air Force landed on Wednesday at Mihail Kogălniceanu Air Base, Constanţa County, to strengthen the security of Romania's airspace.

The detachment, consisting of approximately 180 military personnel, including pilots and technical staff, will carry out Enhanced Air Policing missions under NATO command, in collaboration with the Romanian Air Force, over the next two months. This represents the seventh rotation of the Italian Air Force in Romania, contributing to the development of reaction and deterrence capabilities, as well as enhancing interoperability between the Romanian and allied air forces.

Enhanced Air Policing missions were initiated starting in 2014, highlighting NATO's commitment to regional security.
