Drone breaches Romanian airspace; Spanish F-18s scrambled, signal lost near Pardina

A drone entered Romanian airspace on Saturday night, prompting the scramble of two Spanish F-18s and an IAR-330 helicopter. The radar signal was lost near Pardina, indicating a possible incursion from the Black Sea region, likely linked to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. This is a recurring pattern of airspace violations near NATO's eastern flank, but the loss of signal raises uncertainty about the drone's origin and intent.
