As part of the reinforcement of the deterrence posture on the Alliance's eastern flank, Italy will step up its presence in Romania by doubling the number of Eurofighter aircraft already operating in the Task Force Air “Black Storm” in the activity of NATO Air Policing. A further four aircraft will operate from the base of Mihail Kogălniceanu of Costanza.
“Italy – declared the Minister of Defence, Hon Lorenzo Guerini – it is contributing swiftly and with conviction to the decisions taken within NATO, and the government has approved a series of significant measures providing for the reinforcement of the military posture on the eastern flank following Russia's unacceptable and unjustified aggression against Ukraine“.
