Romania Plans F-16 Training Hub For NATO Allies and Ukraine

Romania is considering opening a regional training hub for F-16 fighter jet pilots.
The hub would be available to NATO allies and partners, including Ukraine.
Romania has increased defense spending in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
The country already hosts a U.S. ballistic missile defense system and a permanent alliance battlegroup.
Romanian pilots will be trained at the hub, which will later be open to pilots from allied states and NATO partners, including Ukraine.
