Romania's efforts to defend against Russian drone attacks may have come at a significantly higher cost than the drones themselves, according to a stark financial assessment. The article suggests that Romania's expenditure on intercepting these unmanned aerial vehicles was approximately ten times the actual price of the drones. This implies a substantial financial burden for the country in its air defense operations.
