Moldova will receive equipment from the European Union to intercept unmanned aerial vehicles. The decision has already been made in Brussels, EU Ambassador to Chisinau Janis Mazeiks told Radio Moldova.
According to Mazeiks, the equipment will be delivered to Moldova no earlier than 2025.
“If this equipment is delivered to the Republic of Moldova, it will help prevent situations when drones from abroad penetrate the territory of the Republic of Moldova,” he explained.
