Wind at mission altitude, before you launch.
AirVeto shows wind speed and direction at every altitude layer from ground level to 3,000 m+. Check conditions at your planned operating altitude — not just the surface reading — before committing to a sortie. For powered drones, wind is mission context, not trajectory.
Recent cross-border balloon and aircraft incidents.
Every reported incursion since December 2025 — launch coordinates, the wind field at the time, drift trajectory, landing point. Source-linked. Each entry is its own page; deep-link any timestamp to the live map at the event location.
Romania Danube Delta drone series July 2026, four airspace incursions
Romanian F-16s shot down three drones over the Danube Delta on 24–26 July 2026. A fourth entered east of Sulina on 27 July and flew to Ukraine without intercept.
Tausiūnai drone July 2026 - Šalčininkai district
VSAT Purvėnai post downed a fixed-wing drone near Tausiūnai, Šalčininkai district, on 26 July 2026. Cargo: 200 packs NZ Gold cigarettes, €1,092. The 35th drone interception of 2026.
Romania F-16 downs drone Black Sea Sulina, third intercept in three days
Romanian Air Force F-16 shot down a drone 12 km northeast of Sulina over Romanian Black Sea territorial waters at 10:13 EEST on 26 July 2026, the third Romanian drone intercept in three consecutive days. Romania summoned Russia's ambassador following the incident.Pre-flight wind at operating altitude.
A 5 km/h surface reading and a 35 km/h reading at 300 m are very different mission conditions. AirVeto shows the full vertical wind profile at any point on the map, updated hourly from Open-Meteo. Switch between altitude bands — surface, 100 m, 300 m, 600 m, 1,200 m and above — to assess the actual conditions at the altitude you will operate in.
| Altitude band | Typical use |
|---|---|
| Surface to 100 m | Low-altitude survey, inspection, delivery |
| 100–300 m | Standard commercial operations, photography, mapping |
| 300–600 m | Extended visual line of sight (EVLOS) operations |
| 600 m+ | Beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS), industrial survey, long-range |

Post-incident site assessment.
After a drone goes missing or crashes, AirVeto reconstructs the wind field at the time and altitude of the incident. For powered autonomous drones, wind does not determine the flight route — but it establishes what the aircraft encountered and supports the investigation record. AirVeto provides historical wind at any point and altitude for this purpose.
AirVeto is not a drone flight controller or autopilot feed. It provides wind data for planning and analysis — it does not predict where a specific drone will fly. Powered drones navigate autonomously; wind is a factor in their operation, not their trajectory.
Fleet operations and team accounts.
Companies plan users get a shared organisation account. Multiple pilots or dispatchers log in under the same account — useful for survey crews planning sorties across multiple sites or shifts. The Companies plan also supports custom data overlay: connect drone telemetry to the map for live position tracking alongside the wind layer.
For survey companies with multi-crew operations, contact hello@airveto.com to discuss a Companies setup. Invoice billing is available.
Eastern European airspace context.
AirVeto was built around the EU eastern border — Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Poland, Romania. The incident archive covers over 50 documented cases of unknown drone activity along these borders. Drone operators working near the Lithuania-Belarus border, the Kaliningrad corridor, or the Polish-Belarusian boundary can use the incident archive to understand the airspace history of their operating area.
See the incident index for the full archive. Key location hubs: Suwałki Gap, Kaliningrad corridor, NATO eastern flank.
