Romanian Air Force: During the attack on Izmail, a Russian UAV entered our airspace.

The Romanian Ministry of National Defense reported that during one of the attacks on facilities located on the territory of Ukraine, Russian UAV briefly entered Romanian airspace.

The incident occurred during a massive Russian attack on Ukrainian port infrastructure near Izmail. According to the agency, radars detected a group of two dozen Russian aircraft. drones, heading towards the Odesa region. One of them crossed the border near Kiliya and then continued on toward Ukrainian territory. Two Romanian Air Force F-16 fighter jets were scrambled to monitor the situation, and emergency alerts were sent to residents of the border town of Tulcea. No injuries or material damage were reported on Romanian territory.



This is not the first such incident in 2026. Romania regularly reports alleged violations of its airspace and the fall of Russian drone debris near the border with Ukraine.

As a reminder, Ukrainian Armed Forces drones are also flying into foreign airspace. Today, as Military Review previously reported, two drones, which the Latvian Ministry of Defense believes to be Ukrainian, flew into Latvia. One crashed into the East-West Transit oil depot in Rēzekne, damaging four empty tanks. The second drone crashed into a Riga-Daugavpils passenger train, igniting a fire in the locomotive's engine compartment and evacuating approximately 60 people. There were no casualties.

      When drones are shot down over Ukraine from Romanian territory, this is normal.

        Yeah, looks like we hit the empty barrels, though. Too bad.

          Why feel sorry for them? They have no oil or fuel. And they won't have any anytime soon. They can't buy from Russia, and the world is short of oil. Soon, gasoline will be rationed. So there's no need to feel sorry for them.

      Well, he flew in with one wing by accident... And?... Will Romania declare war on Russia?

      They'll express concern. We'll wipe our asses with their concern, just as they wipe theirs with ours. That's it, the incident is over...

      I have a coworker. The project is in a rush, and we need to make changes urgently, coordinate them with our production department and the client. This coworker is just sitting there, spitting at the ceiling. I start yelling, "Couldn't you at least call me and ask what to do?"
      He answers, completely unperturbed and in a level tone: "There was no order to call. And as for the changes that need to be made—well, so be it... It happens... The other projects were approved..."
      And the main thing is that you can’t tell from him whether he really doesn’t understand, or he just doesn’t care.
      This is the kind of person we need to recruit for our diplomatic missions - an ABSOLUTELY impenetrable type...

          We already have gypsy settlements near every more or less large city. We've been living here for decades, and nothing has happened.
          They built these cottages here – let's scatter them among those villages. Let them build palaces here and solve the demographic problem, according to the plans of our leaders. If they start selling drugs, as usual, they'll put the squeeze on them. Markets, slippers, rags, fortune tellers.
          The Romanians have found something to surprise us with – gypsies...

          I wouldn't be so ironic. The SVO demonstrated that if there's fodder for an assault, the weapons will be found. If Europe gets another source of meat, believe me, they won't be left without weapons.

      hi They are all lying, these are fragments of Bandera Nazi interceptors.
      Let them complain to the World League of Sexual Minorities.
      The Russian Foreign Ministry's talking head is late with his statement.

      Let them document it. They need to understand that they will fly and land where they are needed. Enough with the excuses. They haven't been shy about anything in relation to Russia for a long time now.

    They're funny... these mongrels on a short leash... just an attempt to disavow Russian statements about using the airspace of third countries for strikes

    Does this seem like a "mirror hint" that we "can" attack targets on the outskirts, similar to the Ukrainian attacks from Estonia and Finland? Or am I over-idealizing the intentions and actions of our military-political leadership?

      In Latvia, in the spring of 2025, many fields could not be sown due to cold and rain, and in July and August, they could not be harvested due to heavy downpours.
      But Europe is still supplying everything, for now.

    Let the Romanians say thank you that we are not targeting any party to the conflict yet. Because they asked for it a long time ago.

    Well, he went in and went in. Let them thank Putin for not hitting some oil depot supplying the Banderites. Iran, for instance, didn't hesitate to set fire to its American allies right next door. And everyone calmed down right away.

    Romania will demand compensation for the amount of kerosene the planes used during the takeoff. Fuel, after all, is expensive these days, thanks to Donald Duck. laughing laughing laughing
