România primește 2,5 miliarde EUR pentru apărare de la UE. Este prima tranșă din împrumutul SAFE de 16,7 miliarde EUR - StartupCafe

Romania received its first tranche of 2.5 billion EUR from the European SAFE funding for defense investments, representing 15% of the total allocation. The SAFE program aims to enhance European defense capabilities and includes a budget of 150 billion EUR. Romania plans to use the funds for various military projects, including the acquisition of drones and helicopters. The program also emphasizes industrial cooperation and local production, aiming to strengthen Romania's defense industry. Unlike many EU programs, SAFE provides loans rather than grants, requiring repayment.
