NATO's takedown of drone over Estonia sends clear message, Romanian official says

​The shooting ​down ‌of a ​drone in Estonian air space earlier ‌this week sends a clear message to Russia that incursions ‌into NATO air space will ‌not be tolerated, Romanian deputy defence minister Sorin Moldovan told a GLOBSEC ⁠conference ​on ⁠Friday.

A Romanian fighter jet on ⁠a NATO air policing mission ​to the Baltics had shot down ⁠the drone. Moldovan said Romania, ⁠which shares ​a 650-km (400-mile) land border with Ukraine, sees ⁠drones breaching its airspace 2-3 times ⁠a ⁠week as Russia attacks Ukraine's ports across the ‌Danube ‌river.
