Three Eurofighter Typhoon aircraft belonging to the German Air Forces landed at 57th Mihail Kogalniceanu Air Base on Thursday, 17th February.

The German detachment made up of approximately 60 soldiers (pilots and technical personnel) and Eurofighter Typhoon aircraft will conduct NATO-led enhanced Air Policing Missions together with the Romanian and Italian Air Force soldiers over the following three weeks.

The German Air Forces were also stationed in Romania last summer, together with the British Royal ones based on the Joint Declaration on the interoperability of Eurofighter Typhoon aircraft for the joint execution of the air policing missions.

The joint training missions' main goal is to increase interoperability among NATO allies, while the joint air policing missions contribute to the development of reaction and deterrence capacity.
