Heads up, fam! Romania and Poland just turned up their air defenses after drones buzzed over Ukraine’s border. ✈️🚁
Romania’s defense ministry reported that late Saturday, two F-16 jets were scrambled when radar picked up a drone over Chilia Veche. The aircraft tracked the drone until it dipped off the radar, leaving everyone on edge. 👀
Meanwhile, Poland’s military said it deployed helicopters and jets alongside NATO allies, pushing its air defense and radar systems to max alert as Russian drones hit Ukrainian targets just across the frontier. 🚨
President Zelenskyy warned this marks an obvious expansion of Russia’s war and urged the West not to wait for dozens of Shaheds and missiles before acting. ⚡
Over in the US, former President Trump chimed in on Truth Social, saying he’s ready to slap major sanctions on Russia once all NATO members agree and stop buying oil from Russia. His call got a mixed reaction in Warsaw. 🌍
On the flip side, Russia denied launching the drones but did report that a Ukrainian drone struck its Bashneft refinery near Ufa, sparking a fire with minor damage. Ukraine’s military intelligence later claimed responsibility, aiming to hit Russia’s war funds. 💥
As drone warfare evolves, NATO’s eyes are skyward. More allies are stepping up patrols and defense drills, proving that when it comes to protecting the skies, no one flies solo. 🌐✊
