In March 2022, Romanian president Klaus Iohannis announced that Romania needs to increase defence spending to 2.5% of the GDP from 2% following the Russian invasion of Ukraine. About 40% of this is earmarked for procurement of equipment. This results in an amount of at least EUR 3 billion spent on military equipment this year alone. Romania’s state-owned company Romtehnica launched a tender to buy short and very short range missile systems under a contract estimated at RON 9.5 billion (EUR 1.9 billion). The payments are scheduled to take place gradually over a five-year period, and the producer will provide a two-year guarantee period. Do you think that wars are made to enrich the world military complexes?
