Romania Shoots Down Third Drone in Three Days | Europe News

Romania just shot down a drone — its third in three days — with an F-16 over the Black Sea, marking a major escalation as a NATO member stands firm. The drone, possibly a Russian-made Shahed, was intercepted within minutes of entering Romanian airspace. The president called the incursions “unacceptable and intolerable,” stressing Romania’s airspace is part of NATO and the EU. This isn’t the first time drones have flown into Romanian territory, but it’s the first time they’ve been actively downed — a move made possible by a 2025 law granting them the legal authority to do so. Tensions are rising as Romania defends its sovereignty, and the world watches for Russia’s response. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
