自俄乌战争全面爆发以来，俄军无人机持续侵犯罗马尼亚领空。1罗马尼亚空军于上周五起首次出动F-16战斗机进行拦截，在过去三天内击落三架无人机。1此举标志着这个北约成员国从长期的被动应对转向主动防御的重要转变。随后，罗马尼亚召见俄罗斯驻罗大使，并驱逐了一名俄罗斯外交官。1
罗马尼亚总统尼库索尔·丹在周日祝贺飞行员的行动，表示"俄罗斯联邦继续侵犯罗马尼亚领空是不可接受和不能容忍的"。1无人机入侵的问题由来已久——自战争开始以来，共有50例无人机或无人机碎片在罗马尼亚领土上被确认，其中仅今年就有至少19架无人机进入该国领空。12022年5月，一架无人机曾坠入加拉茨东部一栋公寓楼，造成一名母亲和孩子受伤。1罗马尼亚外交部部长奥安娜·托伊乌指出，"无人机碎片由国防部恢复，正在进行的检察官调查确认其俄罗斯原产地毫无疑问"。1
罗马尼亚去年曾通过立法允许在其领空内击落无人机，但直到现在才首次实施这一权力。1为应对这一威胁，罗马尼亚和波兰已购置MEROPS系统用于击落无人机。1
Romania's air force has taken direct action against Russian unmanned aircraft for the first time since Moscow's 2022 invasion of Ukraine, deploying F-16 fighter jets to shoot down three drones over the past three days beginning last Friday 1. The downing of the aircraft marks a significant shift from years of passive responses to repeated Russian drone violations of Romanian airspace, which has occurred consistently since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 1.
The escalation has prompted a diplomatic response from Bucharest. Romania has summoned Russia's ambassador and expelled a Russian diplomat in protest of the intrusions 1. President Nicolae Ciuc took to social media Sunday to congratulate the pilots, stating that "the continued violation of Romanian airspace by the Russian Federation is unacceptable and intolerable" 1. Foreign Affairs Minister Ioana Toiu confirmed on X that drone debris recovered by the Defense Ministry has been examined by prosecutors, establishing "beyond doubt" its Russian origin 1.
The recurring drone incidents over Romanian territory have intensified this year, with at least 19 unmanned aircraft recorded entering Romanian airspace, contributing to a total of 50 documented cases of drones or drone debris confirmed on Romanian soil since the war began 1. A May 2022 incident saw a drone crash into an apartment building in eastern Galati, injuring a mother and child 1. Romania had previously passed legislation enabling it to shoot down drones in its airspace, but the recent operations represent the first enforcement of this authority 1. Both Romania and Poland have acquired MEROPS systems designed to counter unmanned aircraft 1.
