This is how they were doing it ~15 months ago, it's unlikely they have many if any Tupolev drones left, and obviously they have no way to get more (well, they should have no way, Russian corruption notwithstanding xD).

I wouldn’t be surprised if they’ve building these with modern avionics. The Ukrainian weapon engineers are top notch.

I think the Beaver drone can do pretty much the same job in terms of range.
According to telegram, during the attacks on Izmail port (near Odesa) last night, a drone(s) fell or exploded in Romania.
"The response of the Romanian Ministry of Defense to the information about the fall of two "Shahids"
The drone attacks carried out by the Russian Federation did not constitute a direct military threat to our national territory or to the territorial waters of Romania," the country's Defense Ministry said."
Nice to know the Russians don't need to be careful and indirect attacks are fine
Would you rather they declare it an attack on a NATO member and we all call it quits?
Just like the reaction wanted by some people over the Polish incident...
No that is the Chinese cartographers lately.
We should trigger article 5, send the coded message to our Vanguard submarines to launch a nuclear first strike, and put the emergency broadcast on, duh
No, but if I was the Romanian defence minister and Russian drones/cruise missiles had hit my territory while targeting Ukrainian ports on the Danube I’d be letting everyone know that my air defence sites will be extended over said ports and incoming ordinance shot down.
For the protection of my own territory of course, since the Russians can’t guarantee not hitting the wrong side of the river.
So you'd be committing Romanian forces to the defense of Ukraine, using US supplied Patriots to potentially shoot down Russian aircraft, pretty bold move for the Romanian defense minister to potentially trigger World War 3. It must be fun to sit and read the news and imagine you're playing a video game, not real life where some miscalculation can cause a war that archeologists of the future would study through the radioactive layer of sediment that we'd leave behind where Europe and North America used to exist.
Romainia would be committing to defending *itself*.
The "Protection of Ukraine" would be a *direct result* of Russia's lack of accuracy.
The "bold move" was Russia targeting so close to Romainia and risking a response from NATO.
I would say that you must have missed that, but you are clearly aware and just chose to ignore it.
Russia has proved itself to be very inaccurate when it comes to it’s precision munitions. I think Romania would be well within its right to take measures to defend its territory.
So if you are attacked by Russia, you should... smile apologetically and offer to pay for the damage to their missiles?
Because defending yourself might trigger WW3, you see.

I see from the replies Roar is conveniently forgetting for the zillionth time that Russia started all this and can stop it by ****** off back home.
Guys don't waste your time arguing with the troll. Just put him on ignore for your own sanity.

Oh, were Romania attacked? You boys acting like a drone falling on another countries territory causing zero casualties is something anyone is going to act on is ridiculous. If a Russian missile hit a building in Romania, that likely wouldn't trigger a war unless it was intentional because the consequences are so severe. Every top General and leader is aware of that. People act like we should be diving head first into a war, both sides are showing restraint here, Putin doesn't want a war with NATO otherwise there would have been one by now - but it doesn't mean there couldn't be one.
Putin is showing restraint? Did you just type that, after Putin has devastated and destroyed vast areas of Ukraine, and deliberately targeted the civilian population? That's "restraint"?
He’s also been very restrained at kidnapping Ukrainean children and forcing them to live in Russia
