They will participate in the Bomber Task Force Europe operation.
The United States deployed two B-52 Stratofortress intercontinental strategic bombers at the 57th airbase of the Romanian Air Force named after Mikhail Kogalniceanu. They will participate in the Bomber Task Force Europe operation.
It is reported by RBC-Ukraine with reference to the Press Service of the US Air Force in Europe.
At the new location, they will operate as part of the 20th Expeditionary Bomber Squadron of the US Air Force, and will also begin to interact with NATO forces.
Upon arrival at the airbase the B-52 aircraft escorted by fighters from Romania and Finland conducted a joint flight. As part of the deployment, they will act as the 20th Expeditionary Bomber Squadron, integrating with NATO and other international partners to improve security in the U.S. European Command area of responsibility.
This is the first time that American strategic bombers operate in Romania.
"In the face of global instability, it is important to maintain sustainable capabilities over long distances. This operation allows us to improve the tactics and interaction of our troops,” said the Commander of the U.S. Air Forces in Europe General James B. Hecker.
The US actively supports NATO allies through BTF missions, which allows USAFE-AFAFRICA to effectively deploy forces in Europe, creating strategic confidence and deterring potential adversaries.
“We will work with allies on the eastern flank to ensure security and stability in the region,” Hecker said.
The deployment of American strategic bombers demonstrates the readiness of the United States and NATO to coordinate and protect the Alliance.
