Israeli and France Competition: Romania announced a tender of $ 2 billion for aircraft purchase

The Romanian Defense Defense has planned air defense updates in 2019. The Patriot SAC has already been purchased, and the focus on the small radius complexes will now be focused. After the Patriot Patriot was purchased, the Romanian government appealed to weapons manufacturers to send tender proposals from a small radius of air defense systems. France and Israel are competing for a tender of $ 2 billion. About it reports Defense News. France and Israel have long -standing relations with Romania.

The Ministry of Defense of the country is looking for low -range air defense and very low range, which in the West is called Shorad and Vshorad. The soldiers wanted to renew the anti -air system in 2019. Since then, Patriot SAMs have been acquired, which have integrated into the NATO anti -missile and anti -rope system. Now the turn has come to the systems of small radius of action.

The MBDA Prescribe Julien Vatelet stated that the manufacturer has the best solution for the Romanian Armed Forces, including the VL Mica system. They have a radius of action up to 20 km. Also, the opinion of the SAC will be effective if Romania decides to join the French Mistral program. It is aimed at increasing the missile defense. Journalists believe that Israel, for their part, can offer the development of RAFAEL - SPRK Spyder, which can also intercept rockets within 20 km.
