Russian drones found near vital European offshore gas site, get blown up
This follows many drone incursions into Romania and a failed attack in Germany.
Two Russian-made drones, specifically Gerbera-type drones, were discovered floating in the Black Sea near Romania's largest natural gas project, known as Neptun Deep, according to the country's Defense Minister, Radu Miruță. Miruță shared a video on Facebook allegedly depicting Romanian army divers using explosives to destroy the drones in the water on August 11.
The drones were initially spotted by a ship operating near the Neptun Deep, an offshore gas project under development in the Black Sea that is set to make Romania the largest gas producer in the European Union. The Romanian Coast Guard ship that responded, accompanied by soldiers, found the two drifting drones along with other debris. Romania has also informed "Ukrainian partners" that the systems do not belong to them.
