Peiu, acuze dure la adresa generalului Nicolae Ciucă
The controversial SAFE arms contract continues to spark debate in Romania, with AUR senator Petrișor Peiu criticizing missed opportunities for domestic drone production. He claims Romania spent large sums on outdated equipment instead of investing in its own drone manufacturing capabilities. Peiu highlights that under former Prime Minister Nicolae Ciucă, the army had chances to collaborate with leading drone manufacturers but failed to secure contracts. He questions the decision-making of military leaders and warns that drones purchased from Rheinmetall may not be suitable for Romania's infrastructure.
