Rheinmetall will build warships for Romania, funded by the European SAFE programme
Published
The German defence company Rheinmetall will build warships for Romania. The project will be financed with money from the European SAFE programme. The information was published by Stirile ProTV, in its economic news section.
SAFE is a European Union programme through which member states can obtain low-interest loans for defence investments. The aim of the programme is to strengthen the European defence industry and modernise the armed forces of the member states. Romania is using these funds to develop its military capabilities, and the construction of the ships is part of this effort.
According to the sources cited, the new ships will be equipped with supersonic missiles. Supersonic missiles fly at a speed greater than the speed of sound, which makes them difficult to intercept. The fleet modernisation is taking place in a security context in the Black Sea region, where Romania holds an important position.
For now, details about the exact number of ships, the total cost of the contract and the delivery date have not been published in the material consulted. For complete information, readers can follow the official announcements of the Ministry of National Defence and of Rheinmetall.
