Putin war drone blows up ‘INSIDE Nato territory’ after Western F-16 warplanes are scrambled and air raid sirens blare NATO warplanes were scrambled today after a suspected Russian drone crashed following an encroachment of Romanian airspace.
The Romanian defence ministry said: “At 1:35 a.m., two F-16 aircraft of the Romanian Air Force, part of the Air Police Combat Service, took off from the 86th Air Base in Borcea to monitor the air situation.
“The Ministry of National Defence sends a firm message of condemnation of these attacks carried out by the Russian Federation against Ukrainian civilian objects and infrastructure elements, which are unjustified and in serious contradiction with the norms of international law,” said a Romanian statement.
Earlier this week, NATO warplanes were scrambled in Poland amid a wave of Russian missile and drone strikes in western Ukraine close to the alliance’s eastern flank.
The Russian incursion triggered the response by NATO fighters, and an air raid warning to residents close to the Danube in Romania.
