NATO has deployed three E-3A Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) surveillance aircraft to Bucharest, Romania to support NATO’s reinforced presence in the region and monitor Russian military activity.
The AWACS aircraft can monitor and detect aircraft hundreds of kilometres away, making them ideally suited to help guard Allied airspace. Since Russia’s illegal war in Ukraine, NATO has reinforced its presence in eastern Europe, including with the establishment of new multinational battlegroups and enhanced air defence systems as well as the deployment of additional fighters, surveillance aircraft and tankers. In the event of a crisis, AWACS jets would give these assets crucial situational awareness, helping them defend Allied territory.
The aircraft arrived in Bucharest on 17 January 2023, and the deployment will last several weeks. They belong to a fleet of 14 NATO AWACS aircraft based in Geilenkirchen, Germany.
