The Chief of Staff of the Romanian ED, Daniel Petrescu, sounded the alarm in NATO by revealing systematic Russian electronic warfare (EW) attacks against Romanian ships to such an extent that the electronic systems of surface vessels "died"!
Petrescu even speaks of a "serious risk of ship collision" implying that all the vessels' systems were "turned off". Other sources also state that there were no communications either!
But he didn't stop there. Romanians describe back-to-back incidents with Russia that could escalate the situation sharply and dangerously.
NATO member Romania announced today that it had observed a possible violation of its airspace during nighttime strikes by Russia against infrastructure in the Danube region of Ukraine.
"After the detection of groups of drones heading to Ukrainian territory, near the border with Romania ," residents of the cities of Tulsa and Galati were put on alert, the Romanian Ministry of Defense announced.
"The Romanian military's radar control system indicated a possible, unauthorized intrusion into national airspace, with a signal located on a road leading to the city of Galatsi," he said.
Romanian military chief of staff Daniel Petrescu said Russia was "actively and continuously" jamming the GPS signal of ships in Romanian territorial waters.
This, in turn, creates the risk of conflicts between them , the general said according to the Romania Journal.
"Russia jams GPS signal of ships in Romanian territorial waters. This entails the risk of ship collision.
Romania and NATO must prepare for a long confrontation with the Russian regime,"Petrescu told the Euro-Atlantic Resilience Forum in Bucharest.
As reported by the Romanian publication Romania Journal, Petrescu noted the existence of a constant risk due to the increasing possibility of incidents on the eastern borders of NATO countries, caused by possible failures of some missiles or drones, which could accidentally attack Romanian infrastructure or commercial vessels located in the territorial waters of that country.
"Romanian infrastructure or commercial vessels in (Romanian) territorial waters may be attacked by mistake," the head of the Romanian armed forces concluded.
The Chief of Staff called for preparation for a long confrontation with the "regime of the Russian Federation" as he does not see an end to the Ukrainian conflict yet.
We feel this confrontation very well, especially on the eastern side of NATO and especially in the Black Sea region.
Currently, in the regions of Romania near the border with Ukraine, there is a clear increase in the military presence and the implementation of measures to improve the level of defense, the Reuters news agency reported, citing its own sources.
According to the agency, Romania is strengthening its air defense system in border areas and creating new military observation points. In addition, patrols along the border have been intensified.
Bucharest has extended a no-fly zone near the Ukrainian border as the US sends additional F-16s to the country.
