The airspace over the four countries was disrupted by a mysterious plane that allegedly took off from Slovakia | TVNOVINY.sk – TVNOVINY.sk

Updated 17:27 9. 6. 2022, 13:15 Fighter planes from three NATO countries had to take off on a small plane from Lithuania, which arrived on Wednesday over Hungary from Slovak airspace. After refueling in the Debrecen area, the machine took off towards Romania without a permit, informs the TASR reporter in Budapest, referring to the MTI agency.
The low-flying twin-engine aircraft of the Beechcraft type took off from the Hungarian airport at 5.30 pm without permission and without the transponder switched on, which allows the aircraft to be identified on the radar. Following an alarm by the NATO Joint Aviation Operations Center, Hungarian Air Force fighter jets took off and identified him after eight minutes.
However, the pilot did not respond to the radio call, but also to the visual instructions of the fighter pilots and flew into Romanian airspace. US Army F-16 fighters took off there.

After a short flight over Serbian territory, the machine flew over Bulgaria, where it was accompanied by Romanian F-16 fighters after the return of American fighters to the base in Fetesti. The Romanian ministry added that the Bulgarian authorities had started searching for exactly where the plane landed in Bulgaria. The server romania-insider.com stated in this connection that there were two people on board.
