Romania to procure additional Patriot air and missile defense systems
The Romanian government has signed an agreement with the U.S. Army and transferred funding to the US government for the purchase of three additional Patriot air and missile defense systems from the U.S. Army. As was the case with the first system, which came under contract in May, the additional units were procured via the U.S. Department of Defense's foreign military sales process.
