Needed analysis from New Strategy Center on the May-June 2026 drone incidents in Galați and Constanța shows how #FIMI/ #disinformation exploited not the attacks themselves, but the following information vacuum. ⏱️An 8-minute detection gap and a 48-hour delay before the official technical report gave fertile ground for troll networks to rush false-flag narratives, conspiracy theories, and information attacks on state institutions. 📚The case is a textbook fit for the EEAS’s FIMI framework and the “firehose of falsehood” model: volume and speed beat truth, and informational vacuums are never neutral. The core lesson for the ongoing #cognitive confrontation is one FIMI practitioners know full well ➡️ speed beats perfection in crisis communication. #FIMI #StratCom #Romania EUvsDisinfo #cognitivewarfare
