"....The UK is deploying hundreds of troops, as well as aircraft and armour to eastern Europe as part of the biggest build-up of Nato forces in the region since the cold war. The deployment is taking place during growing tensions over a series of high-profile Russian military manoeuvres.

RAF Typhoon aircraft from RAF Coningsby will be sent to Romania for up to four months....... The RAF Typhoon fighters will be sent to join the Baltic air policing mission to offer reassurance to the Black Sea allies, the MoD said. It will be the first time RAF planes have been dispatched to patrol Romanian airspace......... The Typhoons will be based at Mihail Kogălniceanu Airbase, Romania, for up to four months in 2017........"
