Russian drone attacks: Romania and NATO on alert!
Today, November 25, 2025, the situation in Romania on the borders with Ukraine took a worrying turn. Romanian military officials raised alarm bells when two Russian drones entered Romanian airspace. Romania's Defense Ministry confirmed that one of the drones even entered NATO airspace, further exacerbating the already tense situation in the region.
Early in the morning at 6:30 a.m. local time, the Romanian armed forces mobilized some of NATO's most modern fighter aircraft. Two German Typhoon fighter jets and two Romanian F-16s were sent into the air to immediately deter potential threats. The location of the drones moved towards Romania, right near the Ukrainian border, which only increases concerns about security and stability in the region.
The background to the conflict
The incidents cannot be seen in isolation. Since the start of the war in Ukraine in February 2022, according to AZ Online, drones have repeatedly penetrated Romanian airspace. This clearly shows that tensions in the region continue, while peace negotiations with the USA are always taking place in the background. Both parties to the conflict are trying to weaken the other through attacks on energy supplies, which could have serious consequences for the civilian population, especially in the upcoming winter.
NATO, which is increasingly having to adapt to threats from the East, is on high alert. People are working to improve border protection and are more than aware of the dangers posed by aggressive military activities in the airspace. Aerial surveillance and the rapid deployment of military resources could make the difference between peace and conflict in the near future.
Drones and fighter jets: who is ahead?
As Golem mentions, NATO is in a race against time to optimize its airspace surveillance and response to possible attacks. State-of-the-art technologies and rapid reaction forces play a key role here. The threat posed by military drones, especially from the Russian camp, is becoming increasingly critical and could bring about new dimensions in the geopolitical landscape.
The question that many are now asking themselves is: How long can this situation last? Will the disputes over military air strikes and NATO's constant alert lead to a solution, or are we facing dark times for peace and security in Europe?
