The Romanian Ministry of National Defense issued a penalty invoice of €8.7 million to Rheinmetall due to delays in delivering air defense systems. The contracted equipment, worth €328 million, was expected by April 2026 but has not passed acceptance tests. The penalties are accumulating daily, increasing until the equipment is received. The first two systems are now expected in December, nearly eight months late. The contract includes modernizing four air defense systems with advanced capabilities to counter various projectiles.
