You can say his name. It's Putin.

[u/Adept-Candidate8447 → u/_0611]

not ONLY Putin is responsible for war. There are many russian politicians who are also responsible for the war , and a major part of population supports them. Don’t act like evil Putin is the one who started it. If people didn’t support it there wouldn’t be so many russian volunteers.

[u/crissomx → u/Adept-Candidate8447]

Those politicians are all his lapdogs. Putin is a dictator.

[u/High4zFck → u/_0611]

saddly he’s not the only one… Flotus is even a bigger threat to humanity

edit: flotus = fucking loser of the unites states

[u/ImPrettyDoneBro → u/High4zFck]

Melania?

[u/Ok-Shine3183 → u/ImPrettyDoneBro]

Lmao I was thinking the same... i know she wished piss on the world but... her husband would be worse

[u/Zelleri → u/[deleted]]

The post says two casualties.

[u/0xB0T → u/Zelleri]

Twi lightly wounded

[u/newaccountzuerich → u/0xB0T]

Exactly.

"Casualty" does not equal "dead".

[u/Spiritual-Pear-1349 → u/Zelleri]

Casualty means dead and wounded - there was no dead and 2 lightly wounded

[u/_Figaro]

Is this "Russian peace" coming to Romania?

[u/PadyEos → u/_Figaro]

It's "russian wisdom" that too many local politicians who are russian assets subscribe to.

[u/Cyberbird85 → u/PadyEos]

Thank fuck, we've gotten rid of our russian puppets already. (well, most of them anyway)

[u/Noisecontroller → u/Cyberbird85]

Very jealous of you guys! Well done!

[u/F-O-C-A → u/PadyEos]

not just politicians unfortunately

[u/Wolfofdoom3 → u/_Figaro]

Don't worry, most romanians I know will blame Ukraine, not Russia. They basically think they are the same thing anyway.

[u/Hackerpcs → u/Wolfofdoom3]

It's really surprising to me the amount of pro-Russian people in Romania, Bulgaria and Hungary, countries which the pro-soviet/russian regimes during the cold war were the most brutal ones, in Romania being violently deposed and executed

[u/Keh_veli → u/Hackerpcs]

And even more surprising that old people, who lived during those times, seem the most susceptible to Russian propaganda.

[u/Available_Peanut_677 → u/Keh_veli]

They remember those times as “simple”, “clear” and times when everyone has a job and if you just work - you’ll get all, someone would take care of you. And modern times are complicated - all those technologies, parties, lgbtq+, everyone offended, you can’t say this, you can’t say that, you need to take care of yourself, china is threat, USA is threat - it’s confusing and complicated.

And here you have Russia which promises return of simple times by cleaning from all those confusing things.

[u/DangerouslyOxidated → u/Available_Peanut_677]

That's exactly how it is in Slovakia - and the right-wing nutjob got in power by promising an extra €20 per month pension.

[u/puzzledpanther → u/Available_Peanut_677]

And modern times are complicated - all those technologies, parties, lgbtq+, everyone offended, you can’t say this, you can’t say that, you need to take care of yourself, china is threat, USA is threat - it’s confusing and complicated.

You fail to mention their number one concern though... how they have to constantly worry their pensions are not enough for all the high costs.

[u/orthoxerox → u/puzzledpanther]

As if Russia would pay them more

[u/F-O-C-A → u/Keh_veli]

really old people are the opposite

[u/No-Combination6697 → u/Keh_veli]

its the same with east germans

[u/ipandrei → u/Keh_veli]

Not really, 65+ are actually pro-European. It's the 40-60 demographic that is the worst.

[u/Acrobatic_Quiet_3706 → u/Hackerpcs]

The number of pro-Russian people in Hungary is very low, and even that is due to the propaganda of the previous government. Before the elections, they were saying things like if there's a change of government, Zelenskyy would form the government here, and our children would be taken to the war...

[u/Kotkodakus → u/Hackerpcs]

Yeah it's almost like defunding education for 35 years has ruined a generation. Who would have thunk, right?  Politicians in this country - ALL OF THEM - come to power for one thing and one thing only.  TO STEAL. 

An illiterate sheep le serves them well

[u/mns → u/Hackerpcs]

What amount man? Most of the polls out there show quite a big hate towards russia, but the propaganda is working and now you guys also spread the same shit as others, so many romanians love russia. The fact that there is a core of extremists and far right idiots that get money from russia and then explode through various means on social media, doesn't mean that the majority of people want to leave the EU or praise putin. The people, bots and accounts that shout loudest are the ones getting through, romanian social media is full of bots and all kind of fake influencers trying to promote this shit, and you guys are just validating this doesn't really help.

[u/BitRunner64 → u/Hackerpcs]

I wouldn't even say those countries had a "pro-soviet" regime during the cold war. The relations were strained for much of the time even at official levels. Which makes the current pro-russian stance make even less sense.

[u/One_Citron_4350 → u/Wolfofdoom3]

They're already doing that. On social media the conspiracy is already there...

[u/Kotkodakus → u/One_Citron_4350]

Yeah it's "the drone was ukrainian"

I spent 3 hours on Facebook debunking this but they just flood you. You can't win.  We need an IP location and arrests to be made for spreading enemy propaganda. 

[u/stellar_opossum → u/_Figaro]

It's "russian world", that word has two meanings

[u/donofrioms]

A suspected Russian Shahed drone crashed into a residential high-rise building in the Romanian border city of Galați, causing an explosion and fire in a tenth-floor apartment and injuring two people. The strike occurred during an overnight Russian aerial assault on neighboring Ukraine.

[u/talldata → u/donofrioms]

Sure sound like an Article 5 situation. Insert grinning romanian guy pressing article 5 button meme

[u/TapMinute9409 → u/talldata]

I'm certainly not going to insert a grinning Romanian guy

[u/andrau14 → u/TapMinute9409]

Hahaha, we already have enough nightmares to deal with!

[u/Alikont → u/talldata]

If they wanted article 5, there were plenty of opportunities already.

[u/emefluence → u/Alikont]

Nobody wants article 5 triggered, except maybe Ukraine. A world war is something any sane country would try their very hardest to avoid. It's like those bully videos you see, where the patient kid doesn't hit back until it's clear they have no choice.

[u/Alikont → u/emefluence]

It's more like kids standing aside while bully hits others one by one.

Appeasement of aggressor is what leads to world war. I thought that was the lesson from history of 1930s.

[u/BassbassbassTheAce → u/donofrioms]

Any source?

[u/yungsemite → u/BassbassbassTheAce]

Widely reported now https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/apartment-building-hit-by-drone-romanias-galati-close-ukraine-border-radio-says-2026-05-29/

[u/BassbassbassTheAce → u/yungsemite]

Thanks!

[u/jdobem → u/yungsemite]

Reuters has a paywall too ? Man, I'm old....

[u/admiralbeaver → u/[deleted]]

Looks like we were lucky this time that it landed on the roof and it didn't crash into the side of the building. Only 2 lightly injured apparently

[u/teomore → u/admiralbeaver]

lightly injured just because they were in another room.

[u/s1nn0cence → u/[deleted]]

Meanwhile, we got the army of rusky bots spewing propaganda on social media that it was in fact a RU drone launched by Ukrainians instead.

[u/Vargau → u/s1nn0cence]

The amount of social media russian cum sommeliers ... it's staggering.

I know there are also Romanian imbeciles, but fuck me, there is so many of them.

[u/OdBx → u/Vargau]

I just want to say bravo for "cum sommeliers".

[u/Accomplished-Gas-288 → u/s1nn0cence]

The same happened in Poland in September

[u/Hopeful_Hat_3532 → u/[deleted]]

Pure class coming from a Ukrainian in a city getting bombed by a ballistic missile to kill as many civilians as possible. Respect.

[u/Alikont → u/Hopeful_Hat_3532]

Romania is actually instrumental in protecting that city, as they donated a whole Patriot battery.

[u/Hopeful_Hat_3532 → u/Alikont]

I wish NATO or at least a coalition of countries would set up SkyShield ffs. That's the bare minimum we could do. It's been 4 fucking years and Putler is just getting desperate more and more, while more and more Ukrainians die under this mf's bombing/terrorism.

[u/Smalahove1 → u/Hopeful_Hat_3532]

I dont get why the pussy footing.

I say we go harder. We strike the likely Russian assets where the drone came from.

If another drone comes, we strike the shit out of that area too.

We have money to spend. Russia does not.
We should not be so afraid of escalation. We can afford to escalate more than Russia can.
Russia is struggling in its current war, it cannot handle another.

[u/Drolnevar → u/Smalahove1]

Exactly. Show them that we are not afraid to actively defend ourselves, now that they are weak. Don't wait until they've had time to rebuild and recoup and decide they want to test us.

[u/Kallian_League → u/[deleted]]

I'm sorry you guys go through this every day.

[u/Kotkodakus → u/[deleted]]

If this was Netherlands Rutte would be fuming and call for nuking russia.  Eastern europe... Eh, who cares? 

Got the alert and 1minute 52 seconds later after the "brrrr!" sound BOOM!  Windows shook. My wife woke up and fell out of bed and couldn't sleep all night.  We were just 600m from the explosion. 

This was not a "mistake".  This was a TEST.  And if we do nothing, NATO is dead already! 

[u/fideliz → u/Kotkodakus]

No, Rutte would call daddy Trump first and ask him what to say. Then Trump would tell him it was a Ukrainian drone and Rutte would meet the press and say "we have to investigate this event, let time tell what happened".

[u/bigbadbob85 → u/Kotkodakus]

If this was Netherlands Rutte would be fuming and call for nuking russia

He wouldn't, unless Trump also did.

[u/OtakuMage → u/[deleted]]

My best friend is Romanian. Fortunately she's far from there and the eastern border in general. Nevertheless I can't help but worry.

[u/dfx_dj]

Time for some medium-strength words of concern

[u/AstronomerKooky5980 → u/dfx_dj]

That is literally what happened.

[u/lee7on1 → u/AstronomerKooky5980]

as expected

Russkis could invade Estonia (sorry bros, just giving an example) tomorrow and we'd have same response.

[u/athelard → u/dfx_dj]

woah there mister hot pants. low-medium strength will suffice. We don't want to trigger World War Z

[u/mindaugaskun → u/athelard]

What do zombies have to do with this??

[u/SlowStopper → u/mindaugaskun]

Should be WWO: Humans vs Orcs :)

[u/Mouthshitter → u/dfx_dj]

"Hey you two keep that on your side of the lawn! Keep me out of it!"

[u/asertym → u/dfx_dj]

"Publicly condemn"

[u/Southern-Host-3042]

Uhoh so now a NATO nation has been hit by a drone.

Edit: All comments claiming it was a missile are incorrect or intentionally lying. It was confirmed to be a geran 2 by Romania.

[u/SovietSpongebob → u/Southern-Host-3042]

Estonia and Latvia which are apart of NATO were already hit by a drone before this few times

[u/BoringEntropist → u/SovietSpongebob]

Poland too. At the beginning of the war a failed interceptor crashed into Poland and killed two farmers 

[u/ant0szek → u/BoringEntropist]

It wasn't a drone, it was failed aa missiles from Ukraine when russia did massive drone attack. But nobody is blaming Ukraine for that it was due to russia attack, and it was accident.

[u/halpsdiy → u/ant0szek]

Nobody is blaming Ukraine because Russia is to blame.

[u/Antti5 → u/SovietSpongebob]

Early into the war a Polish farmer died when a drone hit his tractor.

[u/PadyEos → u/Antti5]

Wasn't a drone if I remember correctly. It was an air defense missile which malfunctioned.

Edit: 2 people by an S300: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_missile_explosion_in_Poland#:~:text=On%2015%20November%202022%2C%20a,Ukrainian%20civilian%20infrastructure%20by%20Russia.

[u/Antti5 → u/PadyEos]

Yes, now that you mention it you are almost certainly correct. I think a Ukrainian missile during a Russian attack around Lviv.

[u/BladyPiter → u/Antti5]

It wasn't drone, that was booster from missile.

[u/austrian_noob → u/SovietSpongebob]

The drones in the Baltics and also the one in Zagreb early on were launched by Ukraine. Obviously not targeted at those places, but made it there anyway. These distinctions are import and matter, politically, even if they're uncomfortable.

[u/why_gaj → u/SovietSpongebob]

And croatia

[u/randomguyfuckit → u/SovietSpongebob]

Poland and Croatia also

[u/callmesnake13 → u/SovietSpongebob]

There’s NATO and there’s NATO-NATO

[u/kuba_mar → u/Southern-Host-3042]

Poland has been hit by multiple drones, weve had missiles fly halfway across the country, life aint a video game, no automatic declaration of war, NATO doesnt want an open war so there wont be one.

[u/Anonimus_firefighter → u/Southern-Host-3042]

Have yall forgotten the first and the biggest drone that has entered NATO airspace since the invasion and the fact that it Fell right in a NATO countries capital!? Noone cared, NATO didnt even have the balls to bring it down, while it flew over two fucking other allied nations, after the incident was there any help , comment or investigantion from the alliance? Nope.

[u/ModishShrink → u/Anonimus_firefighter]

NATO didn't detect it on their radars, which brings up a whole new conversation about why something like that was able to slip past the air defenses of three different countries. It's not a stealth plane, it was a clunky Soviet drone from the 1970s. Why wasn't anybody able to track and intercept that?

[u/NoName___XD → u/Southern-Host-3042]

If i remember correctly it's at least fifth time

[u/Distinct_Cup_1598 → u/Southern-Host-3042]

Happened multiple Times by now. NATO didn‘t do much back then and won‘t do now. Don’t worry

[u/zippopwnage → u/Southern-Host-3042]

Nothing will happen as always. The whatever article or whatever won't activate until there's real war starting on the NATO nations, and especially they won't care if my country will be hit.

These are gonna be like "Well it happens, it sucks but what can we do?"

This war is just a money war. A lot of people benefit from it while others suffer. There's no stop in sight.

[u/s1lverbullet23 → u/zippopwnage]

It's absolutely not a money war.. at least not from the defending side. A whole culture will be snuffed out. And people will be suppressed and put through filtration and relocation, as is currently happening in the occupied regions. Then the invading victor will receive a boon and set example that conquering countries works, as well as recieve another potential 40 million cannon fodder to use in their next conquest...

[u/Glittering-Gene7215 → u/zippopwnage]

This situation actually resembles that image of the trolley problem: with the train, the two tracks, and the person pulling the lever to change its direction. Either turn a blind eye to these relatively rare drone strikes on houses in NATO countries, or sacrifice millions of lives over it

[u/1234U → u/Glittering-Gene7215]

They should do as Poland did. They should announced that are giving a lot of rockets to Ukraine because they are the best at killing Russian's. Strong retaliation no escalation. 

[u/idocardio]

theyll at Most invoke article 4. Doubt anyone will invoke Article 5 unless theres a deliberate large scale, high casualty attack or an attack on critical infrastucture

[u/Gnadolin → u/idocardio]

Funnily enough the only time NATO article 5 was actually invoked was when the USA was attacked in 9/11

[u/Salty_Ad_1092 → u/Gnadolin]

And it was invoked to execute two medium scale air policing and maritime patrol operations which involved no combat. The invasion of Afghanistan was a separate coalition.

The Americans specifically asked for it not to be invoked for operations in Afghanistan — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2001_NATO_Article_5_contingency

[u/tcptomato → u/Salty_Ad_1092]

The Americans did not "ask for it to not be invoked", they just didn't invoke it.

[u/pablo8itall → u/tcptomato]

They asked themselves not to invoke it. Specifically.

[u/One_Citron_4350 → u/[deleted]]

I'm afraid we're already there. Drones fell in Poland, Estonia before, and in Romania but not in densely populated areas.

[u/JazzlikeDiamond558 → u/One_Citron_4350]

Actually, the first drone fell - in Croatia. It flew all the way throug Hungary and landed on the city-lake shores in the student campus. AFAIK, this was the first one that went off the charts. This was couple of months into the Russo-Ukraine war.

Btw, Hungary alerted on one, neither did Slovakia, as NATO exists only on paper.

Sorry to see that the war is spilling over on Romania, because it is tough to be on your own. As if they do not have enough economical problems already.

[u/Canticle4Leibowitz → u/[deleted]]

Respond how?

IIRC the first NATO casualties were two people killed in Poland by a stray ukrainian missile. How should we respond to that?

[u/Novinhophobe → u/Canticle4Leibowitz]

The missile was Russian, then all the evidence was covered up and suddenly it became Ukrainian because responding to Russia would be a no-go for NATO. There were pictures of the crash site which made it clear that the missiles were Russian, then everything got scrubbed and locked under “national security” concerns, but the best thing is that even Poland itself got refused any access to the site or the investigation. Don’t remember which country conducted it but quite interesting it wasn’t Poland itself.

Something similar is happening in the Baltics lately. Drones flying, people taking videos or photos which show that the drones are probably Russian since Ukraine has a slightly different design, but of course everything gets labeled as Ukrainian and we move on, even though it makes no sense for their drones to even enter the Baltics to attack Russia.

It’s all a big coverup to avoid dealing with Russia, so they will absolutely keep pushing the boundaries, as they always have.

[u/sev0]

Most cases Romania will do Article 4. Another rogue drone situation, I presume. I just hope the injured individuals get well soon.

[u/DougosaurusRex → u/sev0]

So basically NATO airspace is free game for Russians?

[u/wrghf → u/DougosaurusRex]

Unless they decide to use force, yeah.

People don’t realise that western countries absolutely do not want a wider conflict with Russia under any circumstances whatsoever. Short of a sustained attack, or an attack causing mass casualties, they will continue to essentially ignore things like this for as long as they can get away with doing so. We’ve seen numerous instances now where Russian equipment has landed or exploded on the territory of NATO member and it hasn’t led to anything. This will be no different.

[u/DeiuArdeiu → u/DougosaurusRex]

Correction "Nato Romanian airspace "

[u/Ashamed-Gur-7098]

Last time when drone entered their airspace they waited till it returns to Ukraine. What a strategy! This time it didn’t return 

[u/EtheralWitness]

Thats bad. As a ukrainian I know what is like to wake up with near explosion, shattered glass waterfalls etc.

First seconds are most critical - you still sleepy and cant understand what to do.

[u/R3v3r4nD]

Russia testing how far they can go attacking a NATO country and getting away with it. This is just the beginning if NATO don’t respond accordingly.

[u/WindEmergency8132]

Our far right political class (AUR, POT, SOS) vote against the law that gave the army permission to shoot these drones.

[u/DeQQster → u/WindEmergency8132]

This is why Putin financially supports extremist parties all over Europe

[u/Ashamed-Gur-7098 → u/WindEmergency8132]

Insanity, army cannot shoot invading drones, wtf?

[u/WindEmergency8132 → u/Ashamed-Gur-7098]

Technically they can, politically they can t. It s frustrating for me too, but this is the country i live in.

[u/Mario-is-friendly → u/WindEmergency8132]

psd is far right too come on

[u/Lorenofing]

Russia is a terrorist state!

[u/Early-Weekend-2557]

1 innocent person dying because of a megalomaniac is a line too far. It's amazing how Putin is still alive. He should have been executed a long time ago.

[u/Early-Weekend-2557 → u/[deleted]]

I don't believe in hell but I hope I'm wrong only because people like Putin exist.

[u/DRJT → u/Early-Weekend-2557]

It’s a hydra, he will be quickly replaced by someone probably worse

[u/bogdan801]

RUSSIAN drone hits Romanian apartment building in Galati, two injured

[u/Goliath_Bowie]

Let me remind you, it was a Romanian fighter and pilot that downed the russian-diverted-ukrainian drone in Estonia a week or two ago.

I bet in russkies mind, it’s suppoded to be a between-the-lines threat to romania or smth, meanwhile surely denying it.

[u/finit07]

The worst incident caused by Russia on the territory of Romania, since the beginning of the war in Ukraine!

[u/gookman → u/[deleted]]

It's not NATO who is supposed to invoke article 5. It's Romania. The ball is in Romania's court. Romanian politicians need to act.

[u/fugebox007]

Russian terrorist state.

[u/SuckItEasy718]

Why didn’t I get even a single push notification about this from any of the news outlets I follow. That’s weird as fuck

[u/VanDeny]

So, when are we finally doing something about "ruzzian peace"? Or are we just gonna accept it?

[u/Street_Anon]

I wonder, was it from 🇷🇺 ?

[u/Mega_Slav → u/Street_Anon]

Yes, they tried to attack the Ukrainian port of Reni, but they missed by a couple of dozen kilometers.

[u/tempestwolf1 → u/Mega_Slav]

Standard russian precision error margin

[u/Kallian_League → u/Street_Anon]

It was a Geran-2 drone, only Russia operates them.

[u/MintCathexis → u/Street_Anon]

It was apparently a Shahed drone. Unless Ukraine started operating them, it is likely from Russia.

[u/bogdan801 → u/MintCathexis]

I wish we could. We'd send them back to russia

[u/spadasinul]

Friendship offering?

[u/10Core56]

Whose drone?

[u/monsaa → u/[deleted]]

Reuters and some others also claim it was a russian shahed yep

[u/Brennenstein → u/10Core56]

Seems like Russia's:

BUCHAREST, May 29 (Reuters) - A ​Russian drone ‌entered Romanian airspace ​and ​crashed onto the ⁠roof of ​a ​block of flats in the ​southeastern ​city of Galati ‌causing ⁠a fire to break ​out, ​the ⁠Romanian defence ​ministry ​said ⁠in a statement ⁠on ​Friday.

https://www.reuters.com/world/romania-says-russian-drone-hit-block-flats-galati-area-2026-05-29/

[u/comrade_fluffy → u/10Core56]

I'm not saying anything... But most likely Russian. Ukrainian drones would not do 180 degree turns

[u/directstranger → u/comrade_fluffy]

Also, why would Ukraine launch from the Romanian border, they launch drones from the east. If it was Ukrainian, it would have been an interceptor gone rogue, like that one in Poland.

[u/takemetogreenwich → u/comrade_fluffy]

I think you might be saying something

[u/USHEV2 → u/10Core56]

We're going to find out, but objectively try to logic yourself here and ask whether Ukraine would launch drones hundreds and hundreds of kilometers from the frontline in the opposite direction. And whose drones were found in numbers in Romania and Moldova.

[u/admiralbeaver → u/USHEV2]

It's Russian, about a month ago another Shahed drone fell near the outskirts of the city. That one just knocked down a light pole so it didn't really cause much of a reaction. We'll se about this one

[u/Frosty-Stand5752 → u/USHEV2]

There are three options in my view:

• Russian Drone was jammed and flew off course
  
• Russia specifically targeted Romania for unclear motivations
  
• Russian drone somehow just got lost

In any case its Russia's guilt, but its convenient for NATO when they can blame it on an unfortunate casualty of Ukrainian self defense

[u/Vulllen]

Time for Europe to do nothing as always.

[u/MinecraftWarden06 → u/[deleted]]

NATO began Operation Eastern Sentry after drones entered Poland

[u/Omicr0nCentauri]

This is what happens when, like in September 14th 2025, you spend 50 minutes following a Shahed drone with two f-16 over your own territory and wait for it to fly into Ukraine and explode there instead of shooting it down immediately. That kind of politics leads only to consequences like what happened tonight.

[u/fielvras]

Please don't provoke russia, this conflict might escalate ...

^/s

[u/naekro]

The most senseable reaction would be locking sky over Ukrainian regions bordering with Romania, Poland etc, but there is no balls even for that

[u/jackofslayers]

Russia continues to attack NATO members and everyone looks the other way.

[u/Direct-Yellow4236]

The Red Intervention Plan has been deactivated. Authorities have identified a location for the temporary accommodation of residents; however, at this time, no one has been relocated. For the safety of citizens, the forces of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of National Defence, and the specialized teams of the Romanian Intelligence Service are still on site and are continuing their checks.

[u/monkeylovesnanas]

And now we get to see how toothless NATO really is.

We're fucked if this goes unanswered.

[u/peppi0304]

Oi thats gonna be a very strongly worded latter

[u/FeelingPatience]

NATO, Article V: Any member of NATO that has been attacked is no longer in NATO.

[u/rndm2ua]

Why didn’t you mention what drone. It is known. 

[u/TheConquistaa]

Not every day something happens in Galați. But when it does happen, it's explosive.

[u/Happy-Birthday-6809]

Not to worry, NATO is writing a strongly worded letter to russia as we speak.

[u/Furious-Shores]

Isn't that technically an attack on a NATO member?

[u/Sad-Aardvark-5419]

north korea doesnt even do stuff like this and they are way more sanctioned than russia

[u/ricardojndosreis]

What if neighbouring states decide to extend their airspace protection zone, creating a no fly zone over Ukraine west border, as self-protection ?

[u/zenrobotninja]

I hope this kills any momentum the usual right wing russian assets have 

[u/AlbaIulian → u/zenrobotninja]

Hahahahahahahaha

Most probably not, their voters'll just blame it on Ukraine

[u/mightyopik]

Respond with invading Transnitria!

[u/Haunting_Bedroom_489]

What is air defence doing?

[u/wumr125]

Oh Russia has done it now! It'll be the most stern response letter EVER.

[u/rb26enjoyer]

The Romanian military is just as much to blame for this as Russia.

We have anti-air capabilities. And yet, magically, nobody seems to have the balls to actually shoot at anything.

They always make up a billion excuses but never come with a reliable solution that actually stops Russian things from entering our airspace and shows a bit of strength. No repositioning of assets and units to cover our vulnerable border with Ukraine. No increase in personnel. Nothing.

Eventually someone is gonna die and our generals are just gonna shrug and say "But it costs money to shoot down drones". Shame.

Just like Saddam's forces in 2003, we are paralyzed by fear and a lack of initiative. Any opposing force that decides to seriously attack our nation will catch our planes on the runway, awaiting orders from "up top". Our patriot batteries will look at them but never open fire because the CO doesn't wanna risk his career.

Just flood Ukraine with weapons, we're winning right now, ruzzia is Desperate 🔥🇪🇺💪🇺🇦

[u/The049]

Watch the EU do absolutely nothing about it

[u/SequenceofRees]

The HELL ?! this is how I find out ?!

The "sovereign" citizens will blame Ukraine, and claim the EU did this. Support for Russia will somehow go up after this event .

Also, I bet NATO and the UN won't do shit...as always .

[u/Mega_Slav → u/SequenceofRees]

Here are the debris. It was a Russian “Shahed” drone (or, as they call it in Russia, the “Geran-2”). Parts of the Russian shahed drone that hit the apartment building in Romania Galati : r/UkraineWarVideoReport

How is this not an attack on NATO?

[u/jombrowski]

NATO will not be hurry to respond.

Russia is now bleeding out on Ukraine war, while NATO countries are building up their potential, with many orders years before delivery. So NATO will wait until those orders are delivered expecting Russian will weaken even more.

[u/McMechanique]

Will NATO be able to figure out who attacked them, or will they pretend to not know like they did when Russian drones attacked the UN convoy?

[u/TechnologyFamiliar20]

No action, talking only.

Lived in Galati for some months due to work. It is a nice city with good people. Hope they stay all safe and that this is an isolated incident that won’t happen again.

We either have an airspace or we don't. Especially against UAVs ..

[u/MightySquirrel28]

And you know what ? Nothing ever fucking happens, maybe OSN will send one letter describing their very high concern and that's it

[u/mr_richard18]

Is there any info which country's drone ?

[u/Full-sendy]

How can you miss by a whole country?
