Romania’s air force has shot down two drones that flew into its national airspace. The country’s Defense Ministry announced the incident on Oct. 17, adding to a run of drone incursions that have kept tensions high near the Black Sea.
\n\nRomania’s radar picked up a group of aerial targets about 120 kilometers (75 miles) east of Snake Island in the Black Sea. At 5:43 p.m. local time, two F-16 fighter jets took off from Borcea Air Base.
\n\nThe two drones were brought down between 6:01 and 6:05 p.m. over Romanian national waters. In all, they spent five minutes moving around inside Romanian airspace.
\n\nGeran drones are among the newest Russia has put into action. According to the Kyiv Independent, they are especially hard to stop because they fly higher and faster than Russia’s older models, reaching up to 600 km/h (370 mph).
