The United States has strengthened its presence in the Black Sea region by deploying F-16 fighters to Romania

The United States decided to strengthen its presence in the Black Sea region, considering the forces currently available there to be insufficient against the backdrop of the special operation being carried out by Russia. According to the NATO press service, the US Air Force has deployed F-16 fighters to Romania.

Four American F-16 fighter jets landed at the 86th air base of the Romanian Air Force near the city of Fetesti. The main task of American aircraft is to strengthen patrols over the Black Sea. The arrival of the planes has already brought joy to NATO, acting alliance spokesman Dylan White said, adding that with the arrival of four US Air Force fighter jets, the chances of protecting NATO members have been "dramatically improved".

I welcome the United States' deployment of additional F-16 fighter jets to the NATO air control mission in Romania. This sends a clear message that we will protect every member of the alliance

- said White.

Another mission of the US Air Force F-16 will be to track Russian missile attacks on Ukrainian targets located near the “NATO borders.” In general, they will make sure that nothing unnecessary gets in their way.

As Russia continues its brutal war of aggression against Ukraine, we are seeing a number of attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure in close proximity to NATO territory. We remain vigilant and remain in close contact with our allies in the region

- added the representative of the military bloc.

There is something else.
Most likely, training Ukrainian pilots to fly the “Fighting Falcon”.
Well, in fact, it’s not in Nevada that they can be taught completely.
This is easier to do in Europe. Everything is there.

I agree with this, Ukrainian pilots can fly these Fu-16s, mastering the aircraft and the operational area,

Rather, this is already the beginning of the hidden transfer of aircraft to the Ukrofashists. Or preparation for it. It’s no secret that the Romanian-Bulgarians will be the first to deliver the F16 to the Ukrainian Reich.

and they can fly and launch rockets from there

Slowly, step by step, drop by drop, they bring the forces to our limits. Today there are 4 aircraft, tomorrow the AWACS will move to Norway, the day after tomorrow they will open a base in Finland and thus develop the brilliant plan of our command to move NATO borders away from Russian lands. I don’t even know what to comment on.

Netherlands and Denmark + probably Norway.
They are about the same level.

But the Poles and Romanians have much more advanced modifications.
They are not planned yet.

The Netherlands and Denmark have quite modern modifications of the F-16. Initially, their base is not very new, but they have undergone quite serious comprehensive Mid-Life Update (MLU) upgrades and are considered similar in capabilities to the C/D version.

They drove him closer for subsequent transfer, or they put the hkhlovs in and said - do what you want.
