Romania's Ministry of National Defense has proposed a draft law allowing its military to shoot down unauthorized drones breaching the country's airspace. The draft, published on October 28, aims to address security threats posed by repeated incursions, particularly from Russian drones near the Ukraine border. The legislation outlines that the decision to down a drone would depend on the assessed threat level to human life and property. Currently open for public consultation, the law reflects Romania's heightened concerns over airspace violations amid increasing military activity in the region.
