Re: Romania
Not at all surprised that they went with a system on wheels, as it falls in line with other proc priorities (Romanian army conference speech; an abstract):
Army focus on quick procurement procedures for the land forces
· Modernization of 48 existing infantry combat vehicles
· Procurement of 94 Piranha armored personnel carriers
· Strategic purpose of completing the process of making the Craiova Brigade fully operational and available to NATO
· Further acquisition of 657 vehicles including other types of 8x8 carriers manufactured in Romania, at Moreni
... didn't we say that we eventually want 800-ish Boxers to make the two new brigades fully operational?
Whereas it still seems to be a bit undecided what will be the priority targets (will they buy all of this, authorised on the seller's side, or decide on the mix in due course?): 1.5 +1.5 +1 loadouts per system
eighty-one (81) Guided Multiple Launch Rocket Systems (GMLRS) M31A1 Unitary, eighty-one (81) Guided Multiple Launch Rocket Systems (GMLRS) M30A1 Alternative Warhead, and fifty-four (54) Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) M57 Unitary.
- point targets
- area effects
- and counter"battery" fire from a distance; a whole battery gone with one shot (if not well dispersed; the ruskies still favour "gun lines" at least based on the aerial photos from Ukraine. Well, Ukraine's artillery was outgunned and "our-reached" ... so why not?).

Ever-lasting truths: Multi-year budgets/ planning by necessity have to address the painful questions; more often than not the Either-Or prevails over Both-And.

Re: Romania
So Damen lost their bid, presumably was with Sigma 10514. Do anyone know how much this Naval contract amounts for?xav wrote: Naval Group to Deliver Four Gowind Corvettes to Romanian Navy
