Romania risks preparing for “yesterday’s war”, warns former army chief
Published
The former chief of the Romanian Army has warned that the country could be preparing for a type of conflict that no longer matches current realities. The statement was made at the Vantarc Forum, an event dedicated to discussions on security and defence.
In his message, the former commander stressed that the security environment is changing rapidly. New technologies, different combat methods and unconventional threats mean that plans based on past experience can quickly become less effective. According to him, an army that does not adapt its doctrine, equipment and the way it trains its troops risks falling behind.
A central point of his intervention was the idea that the speed of adaptation is an important element of operational capability. In other words, it is not enough for an army to have resources; it must be able to use them quickly and effectively when the situation changes. This approach requires timely decisions, cooperation between institutions and well-planned investments.
The discussion at the Vantarc Forum shows that the issue of national defence remains important for Romania, especially in the regional context. Specialists and decision-makers are expected to continue the debate on how the country can modernise its armed forces and maintain its capacity to respond.
