A Russian attack drone with real-time control channels crossed the state border of Romania, a NATO country, and may not have ended up there by accident. This was stated by the head of communications of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Yurii Ihnat, in an interview broadcast on the telethon, reports UNN.

"UAVs are attack drones with control channels where the operator can change direction in real time, and accordingly change the target. Such drones often attack moving vehicles as well. These can be locomotives, cars, and so on," Yurii Ihnat reported.
According to the spokesperson, it was precisely such a drone that crossed the state border of Romania today.
"And such a drone, preliminarily marked with mesh networks, flew in today — a crossing of the state border was recorded. It flew into Romania. Fighters were scrambled there, and the president of that country has already stated that Romania did shoot down that drone. As we can see, with control channels, if it really was that, then this is also a question: whether the Russians are doing this intentionally, directing these drones into NATO countries," the spokesperson stated.
Reminder
In Romania, a Romanian pilot on an F-16 shot down a drone that entered the country's airspace. The incident occurred over an uninhabited area near the city of Padina.
