Moldova plans to amend its legislation to allow domestic drone production for national needs, according to the President of the Moldovan Parliament and President Maia Sandu. The new regulatory framework would enable private companies to manufacture interceptor drones for airspace defense, as well as for domestic uses like agriculture and search and rescue. This initiative follows repeated incidents of Russian UAVs and missile debris falling on Moldovan territory.
