Fighter Jets Intercepting a Romanian C-27

Watch how NATO's enhanced Air Policing mission in Eastern Europe works as a response to the evolving security situation after Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Witness joint exercises featuring Italian and UK Eurofighter Typhoons, alongside Romanian F-16s, engaging in a mock interception of a Romanian C-27 Spartan transport aircraft over Otopeni, Romania in April 2022. The U.S. and German Air Forces also sent jets to Romania, highlighting the multinational nature of NATO's air defense efforts.
