Romania is participating in the NATO nuclear deterrence exercise Steadfast Noon 2026 in Italy with three F-16 fighter jets. This annual training event aims to maintain a credible nuclear deterrent for the Alliance. The exercise checks the readiness and interoperability of participating forces, with Romania's involvement enhancing NATO cohesion. The F-16s will not carry nuclear weapons during the exercise, which is planned well in advance and is not directed against any specific state. Steadfast Noon reinforces NATO's commitment to collective defense and unity among allies.
