It is about two tanker planes of the United States, which arrived in Romania.
The decision was taken in the Supreme Council of Defense of the Country and received the vote of the Parliament.
According to the president Nicușor Dan, it is about tanker planes, used for refueling aircraft in the air.
“It is about the temporary deployment of some American military equipment and forces in Romania. It is about refueling planes, as already discussed in the public space, some monitoring equipment and some satellite communications equipment, the latter in correlation with the Deveselu shield. I emphasize the fact that these equipment are defensive and I emphasize the fact that they are not equipped with actual weapons. In technical terms, these are said to be non-kinetic equipment. They will be, to the extent that the Parliament approves in the meeting to be held today, deployed on the basis of the partnership agreement between Romania and the United States, and it is a collaboration between Romania and the United States similar these days to a collaboration that other NATO countries do”, said Nicușor Dan, after last week's CSAT meeting.
