Gepard systems and F-16 planes get „green light” in the Senate! Romania has adopted the law and will be able to shoot down Russian drones that violate the territory

A little while ago, the two laws that include regulations regarding the employment of drones that violate the Romanian national territory passed the Senate. According to DefenseRomania sources, AUR left the hall at the time of the vote.

If it will not be attacked at the CCR - without AUR there is no possibility - since 50 parliamentarians are needed for such an action, the law will be promoted in the Official Gazette. Then promulgated by interim president Ilie Bolojan and enters into force. It remains to be seen what game GOLD will make next, as POT and SOS have only 44 signatures together.

From this moment the law can be challenged in 5 days at the CCR.

The law was originally passed by the Chamber of Deputies last week, creating major controversy after the AUR, POT and SOS parties voted against it. Meanwhile, AUR announced its position by abstaining.

If AUR left the room at the time of the Senate vote, POT and SOS also voted in the Senate against the law.

The law does not engage Romania in any military conflict, on the contrary, it allows the Army to be able to engage drones that enter the airspace of our country and endanger Romanian citizens.

A lot of misinformation and fake news about the bill that allows the Army to shoot down Russian drones that violate Romania’s airspace

Those who opposed the law that also regulates the concept of transfer of authority in a NATO context accuse the law of unconstitutionality and betrayal of national interests

And yet, we are talking about a common practice within NATO. Transfer of authority to a foreign commander is common practice within the Alliance for conducting allied operations and missions.

The procedure of the transfer of authority has been regulated in our legislation for more than 14 years for the participation of the armed forces in missions and operations outside the territory of the Romanian state.

Another gross misinformation is that the law gives participating military forces the right to use munitions of war. In other words, the Army represses protests with weapons of war.

This form of interpretation of the legislative text is manipulation without any connection to objective reality. The law does not allow the use of weapons against civilians and the conditions are strictly defined, in accordance with Romanian legislation and employment rules, which are necessarily based on legal, political and military grounds

It is as clear as possible that these forms of manipulation are part of the pattern of disinformation campaigns, which try to induce a climate of panic and weakening of trust in institutions and the ability to fulfill their constitutional missions. Including in the Romanian Army.
