Pilot and Technician Training Underway in Romania
During a visit to the European F-16 Training Center at Romania's Fetesti airbase, Brekelmans highlighted the Netherlands' contribution to setting up the centre.
Both Romanian and Ukrainian pilots are currently training there with Dutch-supplied F-16s. In addition, a training program for F-16 maintenance personnel will begin this summer at the same facility, aiming to train hundreds over the coming years.
