He emphasized that so far only remnants of the F-16 missile that hit the drone have been found.

“Until the start of this conference, we had knowledge about the remnants of the F-16 missile, partially about the one used by our Italian colleagues. However, I have no details about the location where the remains of the downed drone have crashed,” the Chief of the Defense Staff stated during a press conference, according to News.ro.
