Europe's largest military base of the North Atlantic Alliance will be located in Romania, its construction has already begun. Euronews reports this.
The new base will be designed for 10 thousand military personnel from the armies of different member states of the North Atlantic Alliance. According to a number of experts, the rapid construction of the base is connected with the armed conflict in Ukraine. After all, the fighting may continue for several more years.
The construction of the base is carried out on an area of almost three thousand hectares. It will be located near the city of Constanta, which is the largest Romanian port on the Black Sea. Now there is an active base of the Mikhail Kogalniceanu alliance.
The base will house aircraft runways, aircraft hangars, and weapons platforms. In addition, barracks, schools for military children, medical facilities and shops will be built.
According to Romanian analyst Dorin Popescu, the base will represent the most important infrastructure facility of the North Atlantic Alliance in the region. This is especially important against the backdrop of the ongoing armed conflict in southern Ukraine.
Popescu believes that fighting will not stop not only this year, but also in 2025 and even 2026. He called them long-lasting. Against this background, the base can certainly be involved in providing various types of military and logistical assistance to Ukrainian formations in conducting combat operations against the Russian army. There is no doubt that this base will pose a threat to Russian facilities in Crimea and new regions of the Russian Federation.
