Romania Buys 18 F-16 Jets For €1 — Hidden Truth Behind Netherlands’ NATO Transfer Deal

Romania has pulled off one of the most surprising defense deals in modern history — buying 18 F-16 Fighting Falcons from the Netherlands for just 1 Euro!

Sounds unbelievable? There’s much more behind the story.

In this video, we uncover why the Netherlands sold its powerful F-16s at a symbolic price, how this move strengthens NATO’s eastern defense flank, and what it means for Romania, Ukraine, and Europe’s air power future.

These jets, once part of the Dutch Air Force, are now stationed at the European F-16 Training Center (EFTC) in Romania — where pilots from Ukraine, Romania, and other NATO allies are trained by Lockheed Martin experts.

🇷🇴 Romania’s Advantage:
With these jets, Romania now operates a fleet of 67 F-16s — used for air policing missions over the Black Sea, where Russian intrusions have been on the rise.

🇳🇱 Netherlands’ Strategy:
By transferring these jets for a symbolic price, the Netherlands ensures its retired fighters still serve NATO — while transitioning to the F-35 Lightning II stealth fleet.

🇺🇦 Ukraine’s Lifeline:
Ukrainian pilots have been training in Romania since 2024, preparing to fly the F-16s pledged by Denmark, Norway, and Belgium. Their mission success depends on the comprehensive training at the EFTC.

⚔️ A Legacy of Air Superiority:
The Dutch F-16s made history in 1999, when one shot down a Serbian MiG-29 during the Kosovo War — marking the first Dutch air-to-air kill since World War II. That same fighter legacy now trains the next generation of NATO and Ukrainian pilots.

From symbolic deals to strategic dominance — this story reveals how a €1 transaction reshaped European air power.

👉 Watch till the end to discover the real motive behind this “dirt cheap” deal, and how the F-16’s legendary roar still echoes across Europe’s skies.
