Romania will knock Russian drones: the Senate made the appropriate decision, details

"A aircraft without a pilot on board, which illegally crosses the state border of Romania and implements a flight in the national airspace without permission, can be destroyed, neutralized or can be taken under control," the law says. Romanian officials have now only to decide who will have the right to make a decision on whether to bring these drones or take control.

Most likely, this right will be given to military commanders who will be in responsibility at a time when an unmanned air device will violate the Romanian border. "We need to have a very short chain of deciding whether to open fire," said Romanian General Virjil Beletsan. The military also noted that they "have not much time to fulfill the mission. " What mission he talks about - the general did not specify.

"Let's hope that thanks to orders that will be given on the basis of the law, the action will be executed in a very short time because you do not have much time to fulfill the mission. " Probably, the reason for the adoption of such a law was that Russian drones during attacks in Ukraine violated Romania's airspace. In particular, this case happened at night against January 17, 2025.

Subsequently, it became known that in the territory of the state belonging to the North Atlantic Alliance, they found fragments of two Russian drones. Earlier, there have also been cases where Russian missiles violated NATO airspace, including Romania. This situation happened when the winged rocket of the Russian Federation flew about 140 kilometers in the airspace of Moldova and Romania, and then found itself above the Chernivtsi region of Ukraine.
