Se stia deja de mutarea temporara a MQ-9 Reaper din Polonia in Romania, la Campia Turzii.

Ce nu se cunostea e prezumtivul interes mai larg al Romaniei in privinta Reaper-ului.

The Trump administration plans to reinterpret a Cold War-era arms agreement between 34 nations with the goal of allowing U.S. defense contractors to sell more American-made drones to a wide array of nations, three defense industry executives and a U.S. official told Reuters.

The policy change, which has not been previously reported, could open up sales of armed U.S. drones to less stable governments such as Jordan and the United Arab Emirates that in the past have been forbidden from buying them under the 33-year-old Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR), said the U.S. official, a former U.S. official and one of the executives.

Reinterpreting the MTCR is part of a broader Trump administration effort to sell more weapons overseas.

Until now, only England, France and Australia have been allowed to buy large, armed drones from U.S. manufacturers, according to data collected by The Center for the Study of the Drone at Bard College in New York state.

Jordan, Romania, Saudi Arabia and UAE have shown interest in purchasing U.S. systems and will be among the first customers in line when the U.S. policy changes, one of the industry executives said. Officials from the Washington embassies of those nations did not respond to requests for comment.

Reuters dixit

Istoria consemneaza ca atunci cand a fost vorba de achizitii directe de la licuriciul furnizor de securitate, lucrurile s-au miscat cu ceva mai multa aplicatie decat atunci cand a fost vorba de achizitiile facute pe stil romanesc.
