In recent weeks, several drones have entered the airspace of European countries; including a drone from the “Shahed” family, built by the Islamic Republic, which was shot down in Romania. In the latest case as well, on Sunday an F-18 fighter jet of Spain, on a NATO mission, shot down a drone that had entered Romanian airspace from Moldova.

Mehdi Beigi, a member of the editorial team of Iran International, explains the increasing number of drone incursions into European countries’ airspace, the likely origin of these drones, and the risk of tension spreading between Russia and NATO.
