Earlier, Moldova’s Minister of Foreign Affairs claimed that two decoy drones, which fell near the village of Fîrlădeni and in the Rîșcani district, belonged to the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and were intended to identify Ukrainian air defense systems. He accused Russia of violating Moldovan airspace.
Commenting on the incident, Sandu noted that the drones had been examined, found to contain no explosive materials, and posed no threat to the public.
“We must remain vigilant and continue acquiring the necessary equipment to ensure the entire country is protected, so that all citizens feel secure,” Sandu said, confirming that the radars purchased by Moldova failed to detect the Russian drones.
In February of this year, France had sent Armenia three GM200 radars, which “allow for detecting enemy aircraft at a range of 250 kilometers.”
