The Radar Purchased by Moldova Is Unable to Detect Shahed-Type Drones

This was stated by Prime Minister Dorin Recean. The prime minister said that by 2030, Moldova has to buy a system capable of identifying all types of air hazards. Recean said that there are two stages of investment: the first one is related to the identification of risks, while the second stage of financing will be to eliminate them. “To ensure full interception of missiles of different types, as well as drones flying at different altitudes, we would need an investment of several billion euros. It is not possible to do this with our own resources. We have to cooperate with our friends. We can see flying objects at an altitude of 2,000 meters in advance,” Recean told reporters. We shall remind you that on Sunday, the wreckage of a Shahed drone with 50kg of explosives was found near the Etulia locality. The sappers defused the explosive substance at the range in Vulcanesti. The drone is believed to have fallen after being shot down by Ukrainian air defense systems during an attack on the neighboring country on the night of February 9-10.
