Russian drones keep crashing in Moldova | Eastern Express
Russian attacks on Ukraine are exposing neighboring Moldova to increasingly frequent airspace incidents. Moldova’s Defense Ministry recorded 67 incidents in the first 10 months of 2026, including drones exploding on its territory.
Benjamin Lee and his guest Kamil Całus from the Center for Eastern Studies examine the gap between detecting aerial threats and having the equipment to stop them. We also investigate Moldova’s proposed drone industry, Russian allegations about existing factories and the distinction between political warnings and confirmed strike threats. Can Moldova strengthen its defenses quickly enough to protect communities and civilian aviation?
