Radu Miruță: Air defense systems from the SAFE program could have intercepted the drone from Galați

The Minister of Defense, Radu Miruță, stated that some air defense systems included in the European SAFE program, still in the procurement process for the Romanian Army, would probably have had the capability to intercept the drone that reached the Galați area.

The official explained that these equipment are part of a broader plan to modernize Romania's air defense; however, they are not yet operational in the army's stocks. The statement was made in the context of the recent drone incident at Romania's border, which raised concerns about the response capability of the current surveillance and defense systems.
