NATO troops perform air assault drill in Romania
U.S. and Romanian forces conducted air assault training as part of NATO military drills on the eastern flank on Friday (March 31) in the Romanian air base in Constanta.
Troops from the U.S. 101st Airborne began arriving in Romania at the end of June last year, part of a mission to bolster NATO forces in the region, reassure allies and deter further Russian aggression, the U.S. Army in Europe said on its website.
The U.S. and other western members of NATO deployed more troops to members on the alliance's eastern flank both in reaction to Russia's troop build-up on Ukraine's borders and its invasion in February.
On Thursday (March 30) Romanian air, sea, and ground forces also took part in a NATO-led drill in the Black Sea, assisted by U.S. air surveillance.

Could Putin's threats to the West lead to a full-blown nuclear war?
COULD Vladimir Putin's repeated threats to the West eventually lead to a full-blown nuclear war? Russian expert and analyst Keir Giles, from thinktank 'Chatham House', weighs up the evidence.
Chatham House is also known as The Royal Institute of International Affairs, and is an independent policy institute based in London.
The conflict in Ukraine rumbles on as Russia's leader continues to throw vehicles and bodies into the invasion.
Western allies have tentatively pledged support to Ukraine in the form of tanks, training and funds, but it is a real concern that Russia could be prepared to retaliate with its nuclear weaponry.
