The drones used by the Russian Federation are difficult to spot on radar because they attack at low and very low altitudes, said Wednesday the Ministry of National Defence spokesman Constantin Spinu.
Asked why the radars did not identify the drones that would have fallen on Romanian territory, Spinu explained: "The respective attack drones used by the Russian Federation in these attacks do attack at low and very low heights, up to 100 meters. It is a principle of radar, of physics. The radar means at these low and very low heights obtain the image very difficult, because at these heights there is topography, there are infrastructure elements, there is vegetation, there are even birds, and drones have dimensions similar to those of birds. So, there are many technical limitations for any type of locator in the world, no matter how high-performance it may be, and we have state-of-the-art and high-performance radar devices.”, agerpres reports.
He added that "no radar anywhere in the world has unlimited detection capabilities."
"The range of measures that lead to the reduction of risks must include and include elements of civil protection and risk management in the area of civil emergencies, so that we can be sure, as much as possible with such a violent war on the borders, that our citizens are protected by all the measures that can be taken," the spokesman of the Ministry of Defense added.
The crew of an IAR 330 Puma helicopter of the Romanian Air Force, from the Mihail Kogalniceanu Air Base, identified on Wednesday, around 11:30, in the area of the towns of Nufarul and Victoria in far eastern Tulcea county, fragments that could have come from a drone, dispersed on an area of several dozens of meters, the Ministry of National Defense announced on Wednesday.
According to the procedures, another helicopter of the Romanian Air Force, from the Air Transport Base 90 in Otopeni, was sent to the area with a specialized team on board, to carry out preliminary research in the field and the collection of samples for the expert examinations.
