Today should have been a day of celebration, but unfortunately, we are facing a new Russian provocation against Romania
According to him, the Merops system is almost ready for deployment as Moscow more actively tests NATO's capabilities on its eastern flank. US General Christopher Donahue, commander of the US Army in Europe and Africa, confirmed: "We have tested it, and it is in the final stages of deployment."
Moșteanu added that Romania, together with Poland, is in the final stage of creating an anti-drone system, which is especially relevant against the background of an increase in Russian drone incursions and a reduction in the number of American troops in Europe. The minister noted that due to the probable threat from drones, the celebration of US Thanksgiving with American troops had to be postponed.
