thank you greatest ally

there's a reason romania leads both the latinxosphere and the balkanosphere. the country makes smarter choices than all the others

>>212303665
kek im gonna start calling romanians latinx from now on

>>212303727
we always knew they were latinx this isnt new

Why don't buy European stuff? Iron Dome is great though but pretty sure the jews have kill switches

>>212303754
no euro can compete with israeli ingenuity and service. all euro countries should buy exclusively from israel.
if you make the wrong move in this you'll be stuck with french shovelware and they are notoriously unreliable, will embargo you if you ever have a conflict as theyve done before.

>>212303754
probably cheaper compared to the french and german stuff

>>212303754
They probably didn't want to wait 20 years for them to be built.

>>212303754
virtually all AD systems have a huge backlock right now and can't deliver in a short timeframe. Also Israeli weapons are good too. Denmark ordered 3 different types of AD for the same purpose just to get the desired number of systems in a reasonable timeframe. Price might also play into it.

Yes I can't deny they make great stuff. We bough their HIMARS version I think

Euro solutions don't have any combat experience, simple as. Why do you think Lockmart gave Israel rights to modify F-35 software? They know that Israel-American MIC collaboration makes them billions in sales, product improvement, and free marketing.
If Euros could send all their newest AD to Ukraine ASAP then they could foment the same strategy

>>212304123
>If Euros could send all their newest AD to Ukraine ASAP then they could foment the same strategy
we did do that and IRIS-T is performing well there. against a superior enemy btw, it's not like a boxer beating up children like in Israels case.

>>212304123
>Why do you think Lockmart gave Israel rights to modify F-35 software?
because of the pro-Israel lobby in the US, lol. get off your high horse.

>>212304123
>Euro solutions don't have any combat experience
A lot of euro equipment is being used in Ukraine as we speak. 60% of all military aid to Ukraine is from Europe.
France already supplied SPGs, AA missiles, cruise missiles, guided bombs, mortars, small arms etc
We also have extensive combat experience in asymmetrical warfare from Mali, Chad, Niger, Afghanistan...
The real issue is that our production capacity is limited due to decades of under investment. All euro countries since 2022 are undergoing large rearmament plans and are buying most of what is being produced, leaving very little for the international market.

Damn I sure wish we didn't commit the holocaust and pogroms and instead always had cordial relations with the Jews like Romanians

>>212303845
>no euro can compete with israeli ingenuity and service.
True, nobody ever thought to give soldiers diapers to wear until the Jews came along.

>>212304347
Wait what's this

>>212304123
i dont think theyre modifying core software , US military avionics are actually pretty open and easy to integrate other systems to you have public MIL-STD documents on how all the protocols work. you can literally plug in your laptop into an F35's onboard ethernet switch and send it targets/markers using a US/NATO wide standard message type called CoT.

the difference between the israeli F35 deal and the other ones is israel has an integration plane (special one of a kind plane with various built in debug/telemetry tools created to add new functionality/hardware/weapons to the plane)). only USA and israel have such planes and pic related is the USA one

>>212304157
Lol those Iranian S-300 and radars don't look like le starving children to me
>against a superior enemy btw
RuZZia is superior than the entire MIC complex and volunteers of EVROPA? Oh mama mia my science
>>212304319
Do you feel this rearmament happening in your cunt? Is there a national drive to recruit more electrical/mechanical Engineers for the MIC? Will your taxes be going up soon to pay for these weapon systems?

>>212304319
Also I think it's also important to point out a difference in what is needed. Euro and US AA systems like Patriot are primarily designed to stop ballistic and cruise missiles while systems like Iron Dome is more aimed towards smaller and lower velocity targets like rockets. Both systems can do both, but interception rates may suffer. You can see this clearly in the case of Ukraine where cruise and ballistic missile interception rates have plummeted after the US stopped supplying Patriot. Inversely, Israel is partially reliant on foreign help to stop large missile strikes like the ones coming from Iran.
Romania is primarily threatened by Russia, which is making extensive use of small, low velocity drones in its strike packages. Acquiring Iron Dome also makes sense from a capacity perspective.

>>212304585
Iran's equipment is old and their intel is dogshit compared to Israel's, plus you have satellite, likely also provided by US data, the newest US stealth tech, at times direct combat support too. Point is you are fighting a downhill battle, Ukraine is figthing an uphill battle. And no, but Europe isn't using its full potential because tons of people here still are unaware of how hostile Russia is. It's Ukraine vs Russia with limited Euro support.

>>212304585
>Do you feel this rearmament happening in your cunt?
I see a lot of new job offers and recruitment efforts. Soldier pay has been increased in 2022.
>Is there a national drive to recruit more electrical/mechanical Engineers for the MIC?
There are a lot of open positions right now. They're struggling to find enough qualified electricians, machine operators, welders etc
>Will your taxes be going up soon to pay for these weapon systems?
Probably in the long run. Raising taxes is always a sore point and the government is waiting for things to calm down after the ruckus caused by the retirement reforms. They're mainly financing it through debt for now.

its a simple matter of interceptor velocity, slow interceptors are cheaper and simpler but are only good for slow targets and fast interceptors are good for fast targets.

you use iron dome against enemy planes,drones,cruise missiles and against fast shit you fire david's sling which is staged and can go mach 7

>>212304771
PP took over the thread but I just want to let you know I love Romania
Thanks okay bye

>>212304999
Exactly. Russia is using tons of shahed drones, hundreds per day. Using Patriot would be incredibly wasteful and would use up all their supply in a single night.
Ukies are using maxim guns on the back of pickup trucks, worked well enough for them until recently. But we euros don't have an affordable interceptor because unlike Israel we never had a need for it

>>212305187
I think instead of shooting down thousands of meme drones it would be more effective to turn Yelabuga into a parking lot
We need +2000 KM range missiles asap

>>212305187
after lebanon started a war with us they proposed many methods to counter them economically. mostly guns,lasers,interceptor drones

in practice its easier to shoot em before they cross into the country, most were downed by fighter jets and apache helis in the past month

>>212303665
He's all ears

>>212305187
>Ukies are using maxim guns on the back of pickup trucks
The new meta for Shaheds is interceptor drones, though mobile AA units are still very much there
