The Defense Ministry of Romania said that the information that was circulated on the network the day before was shot down by Romanian Gepard anti-aircraft guns of Russian kamikaze drones of the Shahed type is a lie.
Recently, a video circulated on social networks that allegedly showed Romanian Gepards shooting at Russian drones, which later fell on the territory of the country.. In Romania, already condemned such irresponsible actions of Russia.
What was announced by the Ministry of Defense of Romania
We would like to draw your attention to a series of false messages spread on the “X” platform and other social networks, which claim that the Romanian army's air defenses deployed on the border opened fire on them (“Shahedah” – 24 Channel),
– the Ministry of Defense of Romania assured.
The Ministry of Defense of the country also emphasized that the Romanian forces and means deployed in the border zone with our country never opened fire on Russian drones in any similar situation.
The day before, it became known about NATO's concern that during the Russian attack on Ukraine on the night of July 25, three “Shaheda” crossed the border of Romania, and fragments of one of them were found there. But they said that it was not a “deliberate attack” on the territory of the North Atlantic Alliance.
