Reports: Russia Hits NATO Member Romania With Kamikaze Drone

A Russian kamikaze drone on Wednesday flew into NATO air space and detonated near a Romanian village, Ukrainian news reports said, but official Bucharest said the fact of the strike wasn’t confirmed and that they would check.

Ukrainian social media video recorded in the river port city of Izmail, opposite Plaura, showed an orange flash lighting up the night horizon and a booming blast on the Romanian side of the river. Flames and smoke reaching hundreds of meters into the sky were visible following the explosion. A Russian kamikaze drone strike against Izmail had been in progress at the time.

Article 5…

CableMonster ,

Why are you guys so eager for young men going to war to die?

legion02 ,

There are already young men going to war to die.

CableMonster ,

Why have more? Better yet why not try to stop the ones that are?

more to stop it faster.

CableMonster ,

This whole war was 100% avoidable and you think that escalating it would make it end faster… dude…

legion02 ,

Nato entering would basically be an overwhelming force against Russia. It’s going to end real quick after that.

OurToothbrush ,

Okay so you want a hot war between Russia and NATO and you think that would be less violent?

Where are you getting your information from?

MarxMadness ,

That would kill millions at minimum and likely result in nuclear war. It’s utterly psychopathic to cheerlead this and totally detached from the horrors you’re wishcasting. Disgusting.

CableMonster ,

So then russia uses tactical nukes, then what?

avoidable how? Putin wants his old territories, like crimea, back. How is his land grab 100% avoidable?

War is death. There is no glory. There is no pride. None of them are heroes by choice, and many never feel like heroes after their friends die by their side.

War is violence. A desire of man to take with force the independence of a people and exchange that for subservience under the guise of land, resources, need.

Young people are tricked to serve. Recruited to become servants, coerced through deceit to don colors and weapons. Made to repeat mistakes because smaller men want and are not freely given. To solely defend and defy the overreaching end of a tyrant’s sword is to fight for reason earned from treachery and desire.

Humanity is not defined by grief. We are defined by the selfless acts of love and kindness in the darkest hours. Make no mistake; monsters do exist, and the worst are never the ones in harm’s way.

But sometimes you need to punch a bully in the mouth to protect the subject of their bullying. The only thing needed for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. In this case it would be a selfless act of love and kindness.

How would you describe what Azov paramilitary groups were doing in eastern Ukraine from about 2014-2022

Xanis ,

When an individual does that, they are doing so with a clear choice that they made. In a war, men die and leave families behind, and because they chose to defend their country, they are used to defend the interests of those with long swords and heavy sticks. They die without a choice far too often because they were tricked into believing they defend their homes.

All too often they’re forced into conflict that has very little to do with that choice. If our military didn’t try so hard to coerce and trick younger people into joining and thus being forced into conflict, I would be a bit less resentful and hateful towards the practice. That, however, is not the case.

I don’t want young men to die, I want the Russians to go home, return Ukrainian sovereign territory, and live peacefully. I don’t want Russians bombing and killing Ukraine or any other nation. I want them to fuck off, and if they won’t fuck off, I want the Ukrainian military to kill them all and protect themselves.

MarxMadness ,

This is so gutless. “Well sure I’d prefer unicorns and rainbows but KILL KILL KILL”… just say what you really mean and stand by it.

CableMonster ,

Great, we all want the same thing, why is Ukraine and NATO not working toward a peace agreement? Why did NATO give weapons to Ukraine to propagate a war that they were always going to lose?

sandbox ,

an unmanned drone harmlessly crashing into a field isn’t going to kick off world war 3… at least I sure hope not.

Vilian ,

WW3? the world against Russia?

johannesvanderwhales ,

WAR CRIMB

shapesandstuff ,

Seems to be a separate incident from the earlier hit near Grindu (ro)/Reni (ua) in the same area. Hopefully “just” crashes from the drones getting knocked out above Ukraine.

Might also be GPS jamming combined with Russia targeting near the border that threw the drone’s navigation off.

The drone hit outside of a Romanian village near a river which is a weird target, unless maybe Russia is posturing to intimidate NATO. But it’s probably just GPS jamming.

It is kyivpost so not very trustworthy, and it’s not the first time they tried something like this, previously Ukranian missile hit village in Poland and killed 2 men and the same people also tried the “OMG RUSSIA ATTACKED NATO” line.

LarkinDePark ,

Fake news. They can’t even spell Kiev right.

pingveno ,

I’m going to say the same thing that I said about the Polish incident. That incident only happened because Russia chose to attack Ukraine in an area directly bordering on another country. Izmail is also right across the border. I’ll wait on more dependable sources for an investigation, and I’m certainly not agitating for an escalation on NATO’s side. At the same time, if Russia’s bombing campaign ultimately results in foreseeable casualties outside of the country, I put the blame on Russia. Ukraine has the right to defend itself.
