Republic of Moldova to equip itself with anti-drone systems after Russian drones fall on its territory  

December 19, 2024

The Republic of Moldova intends to acquire two systems for the detection and destruction of drones, in the context where several Russian drones penetrated the air space of this country, announced on Wednesday the minister of defence in Kishinev, Anatoly Nosatyi, sends the agency EFE."We are examining the possibility of acquiring new systems that would allow us to identify drones and warn the population in good time," he told reporters, according to the Russian news agency RIA Novosti.Minister Anatoly Nosatyi added that the Reapublic of Moldova allocated the necessary resources for this acquisition whose process is already undergoing.The same minister explained the fact that, to protect the air space, the Republic of Moldova needs three medium-and long-range self-propelled radars, plus two or three other radars capable of detecting ballistic targets.The army of the Republic of Moldova has at present 20 radars, but they are old generations, from the 60’ and 80’ and could not detect the drones launched from Russia over Ukraine, and veered off course and crashed in Moldova. ‘ The over twenty different radar systems have another destination – detecting conventional targets such as aeroplanes, ballistic missiles, which used to be used at high altitudes, but now the tactics have changed and missiles have evolved and radars can’t detect them. These systems date back to the 1960s and 1980s and were designed for a different kind of warfare’ explained Anatoly Nosatyi, according to Radio Kishinev.To save anti-aircraft missiles and intercept drones flying at too high an altitude to be hit by light anti-aircraft weapons, the Ukrainian military is increasingly using radio-electronic jamming to disrupt the drones' signals, which lose their trajectory and miss their targets, eventually crashing randomly elsewhere.Russia launched in October against Ukraine over two thousand drones of attack, but the majority  were crashed or dropped randomly away from the target after being veered off with the help of electronic war systems of the Ukrainian army.A crashed Russian drone was found on Tuesday in a shopping centre in a suburb of the capital Kishinev. On 10 November, after a Russian drone and missile attack on Ukraine, two other drones were found on the ground in two regions of Moldova, which has protested to Russia over the incidents.
