Yesterday, 25 November, saw a large-scale drone and missile attack on behalf of Russia.
Russian UAVs violated multiple airspaces.
Six drones entered Moldova, one of which landed on a residential rooftop.
It fell there shortly after 9 AM onto the house of a guard working in a fruit orchard in the village of Nizhni Kugureshti, in the Florești district in northern Moldova.
An technical-explosives team was sent to the site, while residents were evacuated.
Romania detected at least two separate airspace intrusions and deployed fighter jets in response.
TV8 recalled a similar drone crossing into Moldova on the night of 18–19 November, detected by Romanian air defense and flying across the Prut River.
The photo circulating on the internet of the drone on the roof of a village home shows it fouled by one of the angular roof tiles, where it probably ran out of fuel.
The Gerbera drone has a foam-plastic body, easy to transport and launch. It is unarmed.
Russian forces began using it against Ukraine in 2024.
This UAV is used for electronic reconnaissance, kamikaze-style strikes, or as a decoy to overload air-defense systems.
The European Union previously promised to provide Moldova with equipment for intercepting drones in 2025.
But systems are still unprepared, in Moldova and Romania alike, as Russian violations encroach, with the Kremlin continually testing NATO and Article 5.
These violations of airspace happen as Russia attempts to fly around designated airspace, risking the safety of civilians that have no business in the conflict in question.
