British fighters deploy to Romania to take part in NATO mission
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] Six British Typhoon fighter jets have been deployed to Romania as part of a NATO mission to patrol the bloc's airspace near the Black Sea coast, the Royal Air Force said.

It is noted that the personnel participating in the mission will be on standby to launch a rapid response system to intercept Russian aircraft approaching NATO airspace.

The duration of the mission to “protect the eastern flank” of the alliance will be four months. The group will be based at the Mihail Kogalniceanu airbase near the city of Constanta. More than two hundred military personnel were sent to Romania to provide the base.

As Regnum reported, in March, former CIA analyst Larry Johnson said that Russia would destroy F-16 fighters when transferring them to Kiev. When the fighters transferred to Ukraine are stationed at Romanian and Polish air bases, they will turn into targets for the Russian Armed Forces, he clarified.

F-16 fighters will not change the situation on the battlefield, but will become a legitimate target for Russia if they are sent against the Russian Armed Forces from airfields in third countries. They will be mercilessly destroyed, like other Western equipment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, said Russian President Vladimir Putin. The head of state suggested that the F-16s could be carriers of nuclear weapons.

Poland and Britain held joint military exercises on the border with Kaliningrad in March. About 20 thousand military personnel and 3.5 thousand pieces of equipment from ten NATO countries took part in the maneuvers, including about 15 thousand Polish troops.

#1 Can't wait for the arguments about where one of those Typhoons was when it was shot down.
