This is for SRI, not for the Armed Forces.

I remembered another Romanian acquisition that I don't know if was posted here, as it also seems to have been overlooked in Romania too. But it is quite important one. As part of the HIMARS deal, in 2020 Romania additionally ordered six AN/TPQ-53 mobile counter-battery radars from Lockheed...

@dkes Yes, it differs from country to country. In Romania, we have 54 vehicles in one battalion. Examples: 54 x TR-84M1 MBTs, 54 x LAROM MLRs, 54 x HIMARS on order (18 units received so far). And in the Air Force, we have 16 fighters per squadron.

@kamm funny as always :D @SilvioD 1. Tanks 270 is the entire number estimated to replace all the TR-85s and T-55s. Yes, it is impossible to buy 270 tanks at once, we are not Poland. I guess that we will start just like Hungary with one or maybe two tank battalions (54 to 108 units). And then...

There's nothing new. What I like about Hungary is that it announces something and buys it, then announces something else and buys it. Romania is the opposite. 1) MBTs A few years ago it was issued a Request for Information letter for 270 tanks. Since then there were only rumors that the army...

The latest news is that the UAV program will be launched (or a decision will be made) in 2022. At least one official of the Ministry of Defense said that but you will never know, they seem to switch the priority of the programs all the time. So this is just another memorandum signed. Each UAV...

@kamm No offense, but you are exaggerating, you overestimate your air force and underestimate ours. I am not saying that Gripen is not good or that the HuAF is not good. And I'm not saying RoAF is stronger either. If Hungary buys the new Gripen E/F, this is a great fighter but it has a...

@Kulso_54 "14 Gripens, and Gripen is not Eurofighter or Rafale" Could you explain this, how dou you mean it? I mean that the sides are quite equal, you cannot gain supremacy over our Air Force with only 14 Gripens. @fedett_mókus "Nem maradhatna magyar a magyar fórum? No offense" No offense...

@angelsoul Totally agree with the F-35, I am sure the Americans already make offers both to Hungary and Romania, and even if we wanted or not I think both Hungary and Romania will have F-35 in the future because if one of them will buy it, the other will follow. That were the only statements I...

@Vogon # F-16 I have to admit that much of the info regarding the Romanian F-16s (and F-16s in general with all the blocks and updates) are indeed confusing even for us. From what I understand (I also look at F-16.net database) is that these now Romanian aicrafts were originally bought by the...

Romanian here. I will try to pretend that I didn't see all the "nice" comments towards Romanians on this forum, so I will try to keep my comments on the topic. It is a mistake that some of you disregard the capabilities of the Romanian Armed Forces, it's your loss. Personally, I am not happy...
