Air defense near the border with Ukraine: Romania enhances defense due to the attacks of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation - the media

Russian drones and their debris are landing on Romania, so the country is increasing forces and working on security for locals. Sources in defense expect that the violations of the airspace are increased due to the new tactics of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. Romania moves its air defense closer to the Danube that separates the country from Ukraine.

This decision is related to the attacks of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and isolated cases where Russian drones have fallen into the Romanian territories. Details with reference to sources in defense were shared on September 29 in Reuters. According to unnamed interlocutors, the Romanian army increases defense to protect the civilian population from the consequences of war in a neighboring country.

In addition to moving the air defense air, the army built two bomb shelves in the border village and sold the local notifications of the local area about the UAV movement in the direction of the border. However, according to the mayor of Commune Chatalkoi Tudor Chernega, poor mobile communication limits the effectiveness of such messages.

The Romanian Ministry of Defense also stated that hundreds of fighters from the United States and four F-16 Fighting Falcon have arrived on their military air base. Since mid -September, the ministry has already expanded the flight -proof area along the border with Ukraine. Now it extends 30 kilometers in length and 4000 meters in height.

The media emphasized that all these Romania measures indicate an increase in concern within the country and NATO "about the fact that the war in Ukraine may spread to their territory. " However, the sources in the defense confirmed that they did not know any cases when the native space of Romania included intact Russian UAVs. According to them, all three known cases of falling drones or their debris "did not concern explosives.

" At the same time, unnamed interlocutors suggested that such cases could be more frequent. This was associated with changing the tactics of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. As the media explained, Ukraine did not immediately increase air defense in the port area, but now the enemy is forced to launch drones below to be harder to confine them. The drones fly in groups along the Danube.

The Chernega Romanian official shared his joy that over time, his warnings about the fall of Russian UAVs were still heard. "Two months ago, when I mentioned the suspicion that I could have fallen here, I was not taken seriously. Everything has changed now," he said. We will remind, in the Ministry of Defense of Romania showed how a new shelter looks in the border village of Plaur. The order for the construction of the bomb shelter was issued on September 7.
