  • He argued that invoking NATO every time is "ridiculous" after two separate drone incidents in Romanian airspace were downed by the Romanian Air Force.
  • The incidents involved drones penetrating Romanian airspace, leading to their interception by the Romanian Air Force.

Dan Dungaciu, the first deputy leader of the AUR party, has sharply criticized Romania's approach to drone incursions into its airspace. Following two separate incidents within days where Romanian Air Force units downed unidentified drones, Dungaciu questioned the consistent reliance on NATO.

"Invoking NATO every time is ridiculous," Dungaciu stated, expressing frustration with what he perceives as an overdependence on the alliance. The incidents involved drones that had penetrated Romanian airspace, prompting the Romanian Air Force to take action and neutralize the threats.

While the article does not detail the specific types of drones or their origins, it highlights a political reaction from a prominent figure within the AUR party. This stance suggests a potential divergence in how national security threats are perceived and managed within Romania's political landscape, particularly concerning the role of international alliances.
