Leg 4 — LUKK → LRIA Chișinău, Moldova → Iași, Romania
An active conflict-zone transit evacuating wounded personnel and transporting emergency coordination teams toward Romanian defensive sectors.
First Contact
The fourth leg crossed into open conflict.
Romanian air defense systems activated fully shortly after your departure from Moldova. Fighter aircraft roared overhead toward eastern patrol sectors while military radar operators tracked unidentified returns approaching contested airspace.
For the first time, you saw combat aircraft directly.
Fast-moving silhouettes cutting through storm clouds above the border regions.
Then came the explosions.
Distant at first.
Brief flashes beneath the clouds east of the Prut River.
But unmistakable.
The war had become visible now.
Iași’s airport overflowed with military vehicles and ambulances while wounded personnel arrived continuously from sectors closer to the fighting. Some spoke clearly.
Others simply stared silently at nothing.
Everyone moved quickly.
Nobody looked confident anymore.
