Romania Deploys Fighter Jets After Repeated Airspace Breaches

Romania scrambles jets twice in a week as unidentified drones intrude, raising NATO security concerns.

  • Romania dispatched fighter jets twice this week following unidentified objects breaching its airspace near the Black Sea.
  • The latest incursion occurred early Saturday, with jets unable to visually confirm the object before it disappeared from radar.
  • Romanian airspace breaches are part of a pattern, with previous incidents involving suspected Russian drones near the Ukrainian border.
  • NATO allies have been informed of the incidents, and an investigation is underway to determine the origin of the drones.
  • Romania's Defense Ministry is exploring potential cyber interference, as pilots reported no visual contact with the intruding drones.
