Rusia susține, fără dovezi, că România a înscenat incidentele cu drone și că Armata a tras asupra unor „ținte de antrenament”. Ambasador: „Ni s-au arătat bucăți de polistiren”

The Russian Embassy in Bucharest disputes Romania's claims regarding three drones shot down by the Romanian Army in July, alleging that only 'pieces of polystyrene' were presented as evidence. The embassy suggests that the incidents are part of a campaign to justify increased defense spending in Romania. They assert that no substantial evidence linking the drones to Russia was provided. This contradicts Romania's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which confirmed the Russian origin of the drone fragments. The situation escalated diplomatically, with Romania expelling a Russian diplomat and receiving support from the EU, which condemned the airspace violations.
