The UK has taken command of NATO’s air policing mission in Romania.

Four Royal Air Force Typhoons, their pilots and ground crew will operate the enhanced mission for the fourth time since it began operating in 2014.

It comes at a time of massive tension across NATO’s eastern flank with Russia's invasion of Romania's neighbour, Ukraine.
