TurkishJournal – Enes Kılıç – Four Turkish F-16 fighter jets arrived at Romania’s Fetesti Air Base on Tuesday, bolstering NATO’s air policing mission in the eastern part of the alliance and the Black Sea region, according to a statement from NATO’s Air Command.
These jets will fly alongside Romanian aircraft to patrol and safeguard NATO airspace. This deployment signifies Turkey’s active participation in NATO’s enhanced air policing efforts.
