Băsescu, după doborârea celor trei drone: „Suntem aproape de o situație de război. Urmează testul cu roiul”
Traian Băsescu warns that Romania is nearing a war-like situation due to drone incursions, emphasizing the need for improved defense against multiple threats. He acknowledges Romania's capability to intercept individual drones but stresses the challenge posed by simultaneous attacks. Băsescu suggests that these incidents test Romania's military response and may be a tactic by Russia to gauge readiness. He also discusses the cost-effectiveness of using F-16s against drones and the potential need for NATO consultations under Article 4 if the situation escalates. He urges Romania to enhance its defense capabilities as outlined in NATO's Article 3.
