Six Royal Air Force Typhoon fighter aircraft have arrived in Romania ready to protect Nato’s eastern flank, close to the Black Sea.
The fighter jets from IX (Bomber) Squadron took part in a handover ceremony ahead of their four-month mission, which will involve more than 200 RAF personnel from 140 Expeditionary Air Wing (140EAW) deployed from RAF Lossiemouth.
They will fly alongside the Romanian air force as part of Nato’s enhanced Air Policing mission (eAP) until August.
