This is reported by Evropeiska Pravda, citing data from the Pentagon's Security Cooperation Agency.
The Romanian government has requested the purchase of up to four AN/MPQ-64 F1 Sentinel radar systems.
These systems are capable of detecting a wide range of airborne objects and will significantly enhance Romania's ability to deter and defend against potential threats.
The acquisition agreement will also include a variety of related equipment, as well as training, engineering and logistical support services, and technical documentation.
The total value is estimated at $110 million.
“The proposed sale will improve Romania's ability to meet current and future threats by providing a credible force capable of deterring adversaries and participating in NATO operations,” the statement said.
