Russian 'Shahed' Violates Moldovan Airspace
On March 31, a drone reportedly violated Moldovan airspace, raising concerns about potential threats from unmanned aerial vehicles in the region.
Today, March 31, at 08:13, surveillance systems detected an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that breached Moldovan airspace. This information was reported by the news agency Point.md, citing military sources.
According to the provided data, the drone entered Moldova from the direction of the settlement of Bilyaivka, located in the Odesa region, and continued its route towards the settlement of Tudora, which is situated in the Stefan Voda area.
Only two minutes later, at 08:15, the UAV exited Moldovan airspace, crossing the state border and heading towards the settlement of Krutyarivka, also in Odesa. It is noted that this unauthorized flight occurred at an altitude of approximately 3,000 meters and at a speed of 167 km/h.
This incident has raised concerns among military officials, as it indicates potential threats posed by drones that could be used for reconnaissance or attacking purposes. It is important to highlight that this is not the first instance where drones, likely of Russian manufacture, have violated Moldovan airspace.
Earlier, on the night of March 31, a Shahed drone was also detected in Moldovan airspace, having crossed the state border from the settlement of Komarivka in the Odesa region. On the same day, another incident occurred when a Shahed drone crossed the border from the city of Podilsk in the Odesa region of Ukraine, but returned to Ukraine after 8 minutes, heading towards the settlement of Shershentsi.
These events underscore the increasing tension in the region and the need for enhanced security measures to protect Moldovan airspace. The authorities of the country are urging vigilance and readiness to respond to potential threats from drones that may pose a danger to national security.
