A small twin-engine Beechcraft aircraft carrying two people flew low over the airspace of Hungary, Romania, Serbia and Bulgaria.
On the night of June 8, the plane was successively intercepted by the Hungarian Air Force, US F-16s flying from Feteşti, and Romanian F-16s. This was reported by the publication digi24.
“We clarified that the aircraft in question, which was in Romanian airspace on the route Oradea-Caransebes-Drobeta-Turnu Severin, did not show hostile or dangerous behavior. The pilot of the aircraft never responded to the radio interrogation or visual signals transmitted by intercepting military aircraft, in accordance with international standards, ”the Defense Ministry said in a statement.
According to the Ministry of National Defense, the plane flew from Hungary, near Debrecen, around 17:30, without an approved flight plan and without the launch of electronic identification equipment.
The Romanian Ministry of Defense added that the Bulgarian authorities are currently examining the zone of the last known position of the aircraft to identify it and find out the details.
It will be recalled that earlier Bulgaria, North Macedonia and Montenegro closed the skies for the plane of Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.
