US strategic bombers have deployed to Romania for the first time, NATO announced on 31 July 2024.
Two US Air Force (USAF) B-52H Stratofortress bombers arrived at Romania’s Mihail Kogălniceanu Air Base in late July, from where they will be undertaking flying missions with NATO allies and partners to synchronise capabilities, tactics and procedures.
The B-52Hs have deployed from Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana.
The US military routinely demonstrates its commitment to NATO allies and partners through Bomber Task Force missions, providing assurance and contributing to deterrence, particularly along NATO’s front in Eastern Europe.
