The North Atlantic Treaty Organization, or NATO, will begin deploying Turkey’s advanced MEROPS surveillance system in Poland and Romania to guard against drone incursions from Russia, Euractiv reported. The Multispectral Extended Range Optical Sight, or MEROPS air surveillance system, will be delivered to the two eastern front countries as Russia’s incursion into allied space increased in frequency in recent weeks. On September 10 and 13, Russian drones entered the national airspaces of Poland and Romania, respectively. The repeated incursions have led NATO border states like the Baltics, Romania, and Poland to request a stronger military presence and increased alliance surveillance and defence capabilities. The law, which was narrowly passed in May 2025 and challenged at the CCR by the extremist AUR party, stipulates that this chain of command must be approved by the Supreme Council for National Defence.
