During a massive attack on Ukraine on February 10, Russian missiles crossed the airspace of Moldova and Romania. The latter, as you know, is a NATO member country and has the resources to destroy such targets.
About thisChannel 24said Andrey Kramarov, military expert, air defense specialist. According to him, the question arises why this was not done by a country bordering on a state where there is now a war going on and constant massive shelling.
What are the capabilities of Romania
Kramarov considers the position of Moldova rather incomprehensible. At the same time, he does not undertake to assess the quality of the air defense of this country, because its capabilities to shoot down missiles are not known.
As for Romania, according to an air defense specialist, two Patriot air defense divisions are deployed on its territory – one, in fact, Romanian and another NATO division. Therefore, Romania has the resources to destroy such targets.

The question is why the Romanian air defense forces did not hit the missile
The flight of that rocket, the military expert noted, was carried out along a rather small corridor. However, if the Patriot complex controlled this target, it would have captured it even on the territory of Moldova, it would have completely passed and the missile would have been completely hit over the territory of Romania.
The question is why this has not been done – to the Romanian defense department or NATO in general, – Kramarov emphasized.
That is, he concluded, the question arises why this was not done by a country bordering a state where there is now a war going on and constant massive shelling is taking place, and why the Romanian air defense forces during such missile attacks are not in full combat readiness and on alert . .
The Air Force has promised to provide certain data and materials from the radar, where missiles were recorded flying over Romania. According to the speaker's clarification, there could have been 2 of them, they are talking about Kalibr-type missiles. They also stressed that Russia has already used Moldovan airspace three times to strike at Western Ukraine. >Russia massively attacked Ukraine with rockets on February 10. According to the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzhny, hostile Kalibr missiles crossed the airspace of Romania, which is a member of NATO.
