Cât îi ia unui F-16 să ajungă să apere Iașiul și cum au ajuns locuitorii din Moldova singurii din România fără escadrilă de avioane de vânătoare

The article discusses the vulnerability of Romania's air defense, particularly in the Moldovan region, where there are no fighter jets stationed. The nearest F-16 base is 290 km away, leading to a response time of 20-25 minutes for air patrols. Recent drone incursions from Moldova have raised concerns, as they were not intercepted in time. The lack of a fighter squadron in Moldova means that the region relies on distant bases for air support, complicating rapid response efforts. The article highlights the need for improved detection and coordination with Moldova to enhance air defense capabilities.
