Drones entering Romanian airspace linked to Russia have been shot down by Romanian F-16s over the Black Sea region. Romania has deployed counter-drone systems and intensified patrols, with authorities warning Moscow over incursions.
Romania’s defense ministry says a maritime drone near the Neptun Deep gas project has been destroyed after two F-16s engaged it. The incident follows prior drone activity in the Black Sea and Russia-linked tensions surrounding Romania’s critical EU gas infrastructure.
