Prima dronă doborâtă de Armata Română: peste 30 de drone au pătruns în spațiul aerian al României de la începutul războiului. Padina marchează extinderea incidentelor dincolo de județele de frontieră

On July 24, Romania's military shot down a drone for the first time since the start of the Ukraine war, marking a significant escalation in incidents related to the conflict. The drone was intercepted by an F-16 pilot in Buzău County, well inside Romanian territory, indicating the war's effects are spreading beyond border areas. This incident raises the total confirmed incursions of Russian drones into Romanian airspace to over 30. Previously, most incidents occurred in border counties, but this event signifies a shift in the conflict's geography. The Romanian military is enhancing its air defense capabilities in response to these threats.
