Drone over Romania
On September 13, a Russian strike drone entered Romanian airspace.
The Romanian Air Force scrambled F-16 fighters and intercepted the drone.
That incident occurred during an attempted Russian attack on Ukrainian infrastructure along the Danube.
On September 25, Romanian authorities said they had developed rules for responding to airspace violations.
Those rules provide for three stages — identification, jamming, and intervention. The use of weapons to destroy aerial targets is considered an "extreme measure".
