Defense Minister, Ionuț Moșteanu: "A new air defense system will become operational soon. A capability that will significantly increase the protection of Romanian airspace and our response to drone-type challenges."

Ionuț Moșteanu, the Minister of Defense, declared that Romania will soon have a new air defense system, aimed at improving the protection of airspace and the response capacity to threats generated by drones.
