Momentul în care F-16 distruge drona de lângă Neptun Deep. Imagini filmate de pe platformă • Newsweek România

A Romanian F-16 successfully destroyed a drone near the Neptun Deep platform in the Black Sea, as captured in a witness video. The drone was detected in Romania's Exclusive Economic Zone after being reported by a commercial vessel. Romanian Air Force F-16s were deployed for interception, leading to the drone's destruction. Initially, the interim Defense Minister suggested the drone was explosive, but later retracted this claim, confirming it did not originate from Ukraine. The incident prompted a response from President Nicușor Dan, who praised the military's actions and condemned the increase in such incidents attributed to Russia. This event is significant for Romania due to the strategic importance of the Neptun Deep energy project.
