NATO AWACS aircraft reinforce surveillance over Romania

The enhanced vigilance activity, recommended by the Joint Force Command Naples commander and approved by the Supreme Allied Commander Europe, will support the Alliance’s reinforced presence in the region and monitor Russian military activity.

NATO AWACS flights over Romania support the Alliance’s reinforced presence in the region and monitor Russian military activity at its borders.

It will also strengthen Romania’s ability to respond to the increased air activity in the vicinity of its border. This enhanced vigilance activity is legitimate, defensive, proportionate and fully transparent.

The flights will take place solely over Alliance territory and will operate out of Preveza air base in Greece.
