Airspace Incursions: A Wake Up Call for NATO and its Neighbors The recent incident in Romania, where a Spanish fighter jet shot down a drone breaching the country's airspace near the Ukrainian border, is the latest in a series of similar events highlighting the challenges facing NATO states bordering Ukraine.
