Four Eurofighter Typhoon aircraft landed at Mihail Kogălniceanu military airport. It is another air patrolling mission meant to strengthen the Eastern flank after the conflict in Ukraine started.

The Eurofighter Typhoon jets of the Italian Air Force landed on Friday, November 25, in the 57th Air Base from Mihail Kogălniceanu, Constanța county.

The Italian detachment, made up of approximately 150 military personnel (pilots and technical personnel) and Eurofighter Typhoon aircraft, will perform, together with the Romanian Air Force military, Enhanced Air Policing missions under NATO command for six months.
