The drones entering Romanian airspace without permission will be destroyed, neutralized or their flight can be taken under control, based on new provisions proposed by the defense ministry. A bill on the control of the use of national air space was published on Monday on the website of the defense ministry. It lays down the measures that can be taken commensurate to the level of threat, within the confines of applicable international law, after an analysis of all specific circumstances of the event and taking into account the priority of protecting human lives – with the last possible solution being the destruction of the unmanned devices using national air space without permission. Romanian defense officials have recently invoked the need to adapt the legislation in the field to the situations reported near Romania’s border with Ukraine, with fragments of Russian drones falling here on a number of times and with functional devices entering Romanian airspace.
