Romanian F-16 fighter jets conducted a rapid-reaction drill at Borcea Air Base on Friday as Bucharest faces repeated drone incursions linked to Russia’s war in neighbouring Ukraine. Colonel Robulet Marius, chief of staff of Borcea Air Base 86, said pilots demonstrated that the aircraft could be airborne and ready to engage within 15 minutes. Romania’s Defence Ministry says at least 19 drones have entered its airspace this year, while 50 cases involving drones or debris have been recorded on Romanian territory since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine began in 2022. Romanian officials have responded by scrambling fighter jets, recovering debris and strengthening protections near the border. #romania #f16 #f16fighter #romanianairforce #russia #ukraine #russiaukrainewar #russiandrones #drones #nato #natoairspace #natoeasternflank #airdefence #airdefense #military #militarynews #romaniaairforce #ukrainewar #europe #geopolitics #breakingnews In this Times Now World News report, we br
