As part of a joint EU procurement deal, Romania will acquire 231 Mistral MANPADS and 934 missiles from France, worth more than $726 million.
Romania’s defence ministry said it will buy French Mistral air defence systems worth more than 626 million euros ($726 million), part of a joint procurement deal with several other European Union states.
The ministry said it signed a deal on Tuesday with the French defence ministry for the purchase of 231 Mistral man-portable air-defense systems (MANPADS) – built by missile producer MBDA – and 934 missiles alongside training, simulator and logistics.
The statement did not specify when the equipment would be delivered. Romanian lawmakers first approved the acquisition plan in 2022.
