Fortele Terestre Romane

Lucrurile par a fi asa cum se expun pe situl asta. SI @Harry a aratat bine ca toate achizitiile sunt doar cu partenerul strategic. P siteul asta zice ca e exclus offsetul si ca asamblarea nu e offset:

- Himars (cumparare de-a gata) - fara offset
- tancuri Abrams (54 cumparare de-a gata) - 54 le asamblam noi - deci fara offset
- camioane Iveco (majoritatea le asamblam noi) - nu stiu daca industria locala furnizeaza ceva dar chiar si daca ar furniza ea este capital strain - fara offset
- transportoare Pirania ( o parte importanta le asamblam noi) - cu exceptia turelei nu stiu daca se mai produce ceva local. O problema imensa e ca nu au integrat rachete antitanc pe primele turele, desi pasionatii in domeniu (civili) atrageau atentia de prostie. Literalmente prostie crasa. Si vedem azi in ukr ce ar pati trasportoarele astea. - partial offset
- rachete antinava - fara offset
- avioane F16 - fara offset (totusi vom incerca noi sa le modernizam cu piese de la altii - adica surubareala)
- transpostoare blindate usoare pt FOS - fara offset
- rachete antitanc - fara offset -  luate si din alea ce se pun pe trepied, adica modele vechi (nu stiu daca daca la rachetele Spike participa cu ceva industria romaneasca dar la graba cu care s-au cumparat tind sa cred ca nu)
- corvete (desi olandezele pareau mai bune partea franceza venea si cu pachetul de rachete antinava care s-ar fi produs local + rachete antiaeriene) - toate au fost anulate
- radare/comunicatii - fara offset
- viitorul program F35 - fara offset
- drone Bayraktar - fara offset, sa vedem celelalte.
 
Deci in toate programele astea gradul de integrare in industria locala este minim sau lipseste cu desavarsire. Turelele Elbit par a fi cea mai ampla dezvoltare locala restul chiar si daca exista este nesemnificativ. Si e pacat la ce programe se deruleaza acum industria locala ar putea intra intr-o noua era. Daca ne uitam la turci unde au fost in anii 90 si unde sunt acum ne dam seama ca noi facem exact pe dos ca ei. Nici o sansa sa dezvoltam ceva local cu asemenea politici.

Key facts

    Rheinmetall gains Romania as customer
    Upgrade of Romanian air defence systems ordered

The Romanian ministry of defence has contracted with Rheinmetall to thoroughly modernize the country's Oerlikon GDF 103 air defence artillery systems.

Worth around €328 million, the contract encompasses the delivery of four systems as well as training, spare parts and other services.  Two systems are to be delivered within the next two years, and two more within three years.

Each of the systems ordered consists of an Oerlikon Skymaster TLCN fire control system; an X-Band Tactical Acquisition Radar 3D, or X-TAR3D; six 35mm GDF009 TREO Oerlikon Twin Guns, including autoloader; and two heavy-duty special trucks for transporting the fire control system and the tracking radar.

[Exclusive] Hyundai Rotem K2 to be live-fired in Romania next month... final test
2024.04.05

It has been confirmed that the Romanian government will conduct a local live-fire test of Hyundai Rotem's K2  tank next month.
The event will be attended by both Korean and Romanian military officials and Hyundai Rotem representatives, and is the final gateway to export.

"The schedule for the first local live-fire test of the Hyundai Rotem K2 Tank in Romania has been finalised," said a senior military official. "The week-long test, which will take place from the 10th to the 16th of next month, will be attended by both government officials and Hyundai Rotem representatives."

This is the first time the K2 tank has been live-fired in Romania.
Local live-fire testing of tracked equipment is the de facto final step in evaluating the weapon's performance before signing a contract.

Experts believe that the results of the test will determine the size and timing of the K2 tank export, including the contract value and number of tanks.

At last year's Korea-Romania Defence Cooperation Conference, the Romanian Army said it needs 300 tanks.

"We understand that Hyundai Rotem's target order for K2 tanks in Romania is around 500 units and around 10 trillion won," said an industry insider.

Hyundai Rotem has been focusing on Romania after it failed to export the K2 tank to Norway last year, losing out to Germany's Leopard tank.

The company is reportedly proposing to transfer K2 tank technology to Romania, and is also looking into having local companies manufacture materials, parts, and equipment for the tanks.

The competitor is the American Abrams, which is said to be the world's most powerful tank.

The Romanians have claimed that the K2 tank is about 10 tonnes (t) lighter than the Abrams, making it more manoeuvrable, but with similar destructive power.

Hyundai Rotem plans to participate in BSDA 2024, the largest international defence industry exhibition in the region, which opens next month on the 22nd, immediately after the live-fire test in Romania.
