Nosaty: Russian missiles are hitting Ukraine, they are carefully circling Moldova

The flight path of the Russian missiles is carefully chosen in the direction of the infrastructure in the west of Ukraine, they do not cross the border of Moldova. This was confirmed today, December 9, by the Minister of Defense of the Republic of Moldova Anatoly Nosaty.

According to him, the Russian military is building a trajectory using the terrain in close proximity to the borders of the Republic of Moldova.

The head of the Defense Department cited as an example a recent case in the village of Byrnova, Oknitsa district. Then local residents reported that Russian missiles allegedly flew over the airspace of Moldova and that characteristic sounds were heard, accompanied by a rumble.

"The rumble was the result of the interception by anti-aircraft installations of Ukraine of a missile that flew near the border with Moldova. As for the crossing of Moldovan airspace, it is difficult to determine the delimitation in the settlements located on the border," said Anatoly Nosaty.

At the same time, he stressed that an immediate military threat to the security of the Republic of Moldova is currently unlikely. At the same time, the Minister stated that the Republic of Moldova remains vulnerable to incidents related to airspace violations due to the lack of a modern integrated air defense system.

Recall, at the end of November, the Ministry of Defense of Moldova denied a message in public space that Russian missiles violated the airspace of the republic. Then the Novodnistrovskaya HPP was attacked. The Border police of Moldova confirmed that in the morning patrols heard several explosions on the territory of Ukraine.

As EADaily reported, the Ground Master 200 medium-range detection radar entered service with the Moldovan National Army last year. After that, drones "not noticed" by this system were found on the territory of the country. Then Nosy explained this by the fact that one such radar is not enough. To ensure full monitoring of the skies over the republic, it is necessary to add five more air defense systems, including not only surveillance equipment, but also the destruction of air targets. In the near future, the Ministry of Defense plans to purchase only one additional radar to the existing one.
