Radu Miruță: De ce MApN nu cumpără mai mult din industria locală

Interim Minister of Defense Radu Miruță highlighted issues with state companies failing to deliver military equipment on time, affecting local defense industry contracts. He noted that the Romanian Army faces penalties from Romarm for non-delivery, while private firms often rely on presentations rather than proven products. Miruță emphasized that the Ministry can only order tested products that meet required standards. Industry representatives expressed concerns about the lack of trust in local production capabilities, with a preference for established Western products due to their reliability and strong lobbying efforts.
