Romania Shoots Down Suspected Shahed Drone in Its Airspace for First Time The downing of a suspected Iranian made Shahed drone in Romanian airspace on Friday marks a significant development in the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
The incident, which follows repeated breaches of Romanian airspace by Russian drones this year, highlights the growing threat posed by Moscow to Nato's eastern flank.
Experts say that the Shahed drone is a type used by Russia against Ukraine, suggesting that Moscow may be escalating its efforts to test Nato's defenses using drones as a proxy for more conventional military action.
