Two RAF Typhoons scrambled from a Romanian air base early Saturday in response to Russian drones approaching NATO airspace, establishing radar contact but not opening fire as the targets remained in Ukrainian airspace. The aircraft, part of a multinational NATO air mission, maintained surveillance and deterrence within Romanian airspace in accordance with rules of engagement, with authorization to engage only if the drones breached Romanian territory.
