A lack of time and the restrictions under which the country's military is forced to operate were the reasons a Russian drone was not shot down in the Romanian city of Galați, a Romanian Defence Ministry representative has stated.

Quote from Brigadier General Gheorghe Maxim: "The first restriction we have is legal: we cannot open fire in a way that affects the airspace of a neighbouring country. Furthermore, engaging an aerial target requires a certain amount of time, which involves detection, identification and engagement. The four minutes we had at our disposal were an extremely short period of time."
Details: The general added that Romania has air defence systems "that were designed and manufactured before 2023, when this drone war began". Maxim stressed that Romania is constantly working to improve these systems.
