Russian drones flying over Romania

It is worth recalling that Russian strike drones have repeatedly entered Romanian airspace.

After such incursions, fragments of Russian Shaheds have been found on Romanian territory.

The Romanian authorities’ response has been limited to strong condemnation. Only in May of this year did Bucharest authorize shooting down unidentified drones over Romania.
