Airspace monitoring mission at the border with Ukraine

 

On the night of August 19 to 20, two German Air Force Typhoon aircraft deployed to the 57th "Mihail Kogălniceanu" Air Base to conduct enhanced Air Policing Missions took off to monitor the air situation in the border area with Ukraine, in the north of Tulcea County.

The Ministry of National Defence aerial surveillance system has identified groups of drones launched by the Russian Federation, which attacked the Ukrainian ports on the Danube.

No intrusions of any aerial vehicles into national airspace were detected during the mission.

The aircraft returned to airbase and safely landed at 01:10.

The close cooperation with Allies throughout the enhanced Air Policing Missions strengthens Romania's defence capability and contributes to NATO's deterrence and defence posture on the eastern flank.
