Des pod Sniper pour la Thaïlande et la Roumanie


Publié le 02/06/2015 à 14h42, par Justine BOQUET



Lockheed Martin équipe la Roumanie et la Thaïlande de sa nacelle sniper.

Le 11 mai, Lockheed Martin a annoncé qu'il avait remporté le contrat pour équiper les flottes de F-16 de la Royal Thailand Air Force et de la Roumanian Air Force de son sniper ATP. Le montant du contrat n'a pas été dévoilé.

Le pod sera utilisé pour des missions ISR (intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance). Ce sniper permettra aux armées de localiser avec précision des cibles grâce à une imagerie de haute résolution. Il fournira également une meilleure capacité de reconnaissance aérienne. La nacelle joue un rôle de détection puis le laser prend le relais en désignant la ou les cible(s) que les armes à guidage laser ou GPS devront frapper.

Les premières livraisons ont débuté les premières semaines de 2015 afin de répondre à des « besoins opérationnels ».

Cette décision s'inscrit dans une volonté de modernisation de la flotte de F-16 thaïlandais, en service depuis 1987. Cette acquisition représente la dernière étape de ce processus. En amont, Northrop-Grumman a déjà doté les F-16 d'un nouveau radar, le APG-38(v)9. BAE Systems a lui fournit des nouveaux interrogateurs IFF AN/APX-113. Enfin Terma System les a équipé d'un distributeur de leurres AN/ALE-47 et d'un système de gestion de guerre électronique AN/ALQ-213.

La Roumanie, quant à elle, est toujours dans l'attente de la réception de ses F-16 provenant de la flotte portugaise. La première livraison devrait avoir lieu en 2016. Ils viendront remplacer ses MiG-21 vieillissants. Avec ce nouvel équipement, la Roumanie et la Thaïlande deviennent les 18è et 19è clients export de Lockheed Martin. A noter, que le Qatar devrait également équiper ces Rafale du pod Sniper

La Roumanie reçoit ses derniers PVP mais pense à l’avenir


Actualités  Pierre Brassart  2 juin, 2015  


Une colonne de PVP roumains

Du 18 au 21 mai, Panhard Général Défense a reçu une délégation du Ministère de la Défense Roumain qui venait réceptionner le dernier lot de 6 PVP destinés à l’Armée roumaine. Le ministère de la Défense roumain a acquis en 2012 16 véhicules, et cette visite avait pour but la réception du dernier lot de 6 PVP.

La version LAORV spécifique à l’armée Roumaine apporte de nombreux nouveaux développements. Outre sa protection balistique niveau 2 STANAG, il est équipé d’une protection anti-mine niveau 2A STANAG. L’utilisation opérationnelle du véhicule est possible dans des zones climatiques de -32°C à +50°C. Les véhicules étant ensuite équipés par la société Roumaine CSR pour remplir des missions de contrôle de zones et périmètres, ils sont prêts à s’inscrire dans une projection internationale sous l’égide des Nations Unies ou de l’OTAN. Les PVP roumains sont armés de mitrailleuses 7,62mm Cugir Mitraliera md.66 qui sont la version roumaine de la PKM russe.


Les PVP sont armées d’une mitrailleuse de 7,62mm PKM (d’origine roumaine)

La Roumanie est le 4ème client du PVP après évidemment la France (plus de 1200 véhicules en service depuis 2008), le Chili (15 véhicules), le Togo (6 véhicules).


Le TR-85M1 est le char de combat le plus moderne de Bucarest

La force terrestre roumaine a encore un long chemin à faire. Devenue membre de l’OTAN en 2004, son armée est encore en grande partie celle d’un pays du pacte de Varsovie. Ses chars de combat sont des T-55 améliorés localement, ses VCI sont des BMP-1 construits sous-license (modernisés toutefois avec l’adjonction d’une tourelle israélienne OWS-25R emportant un canon de 25mm et deux missiles antichars Spike ou AT-3), ses véhicules à roues des BTR-60, 70 et 80, des BRDM-2… Son matériel moderne est celui qu’elle a acheté, loué ou reçu pour son déploiement en Afghanistan, à savoir une trentaine de Piranha IIIC, des HMMWV et des MRAP. Plusieurs VAMTAC espagnols (pour ses Forces Spéciales) et une trentaine d’automoteurs anti-aériens Guepard ont également été achetés par Bucarest.


36 Guepard ont été achetés de seconde main à l’Allemagne à la fin des années 90

En première ligne face à la situation explosive en Ukraine, la Roumanie a décidé de prendre des mesures en augmentant son budget militaire de 1,4% de son PIB en 2014 à 1,7% en 2015. Pour ce faire, Bucarest a du négocier avec l’Union européenne et le FMI afin de modifier le planning de réduction de son déficit budgétaire. Certains prédisent que la Roumanie atteindra les 2% du PIB prévu par l’OTAN en 2017. Elle aura bien besoin de cet argent pour moderniser son armée qui en a bien besoin.

Romania May Restore Conscription
By Jaroslaw Adamowski 5:40 p.m. EDT July 1, 2015





WARSAW — Romanian Defense Minister Mircea Dusa is aiming to restore conscription as a result of Russia's increased military activities in Eastern Europe and its intervention in Ukraine, reports local daily Gandul.

The planned move would follow similar initiatives in other Eastern European countries. In Lithuania, the country's parliament passed a bill in March to temporarily restore conscription for a period of at least five years. Lithuania's Prime Minister Algirdas Butkevičius said the decision resulted from "changes in the geopolitical situation in the region," which forced the country to increase its "defense capacity in response."

Meanwhile, Czech Defense Minister Martin Stropnicky has announced plans to increase the Czech Republic's troop level from the current 16,600 to as much as 27,000 by 2025. The government may also revive conscription, as there are ongoing discussions on the measure.

The Romanian parliament is currently drafting a law with the aim of introducing voluntary military internships for the country's youth. Ninel Peia, an MP from the ruling Social Democratic Party, said the initiative "is a very good project for Romania, in particular due to the geopolitical situation in Eastern Europe."

According to the draft law, Romanians aged 18 to 25 will be enabled to take part in internships with the country's armed forces for a period of six months. The program is designed to encourage local youth to join the military.

Romanian Government To Overhaul Defense Industry, Buy New Weapons
By Jaroslaw Adamowski 4:01 p.m. EDT September 21, 2015



WARSAW — Romania’s government is planning to use a national emergency procedure to allocate extra funds from the state budget to the country’s defense industry and support the production of new weapons for the Romanian military, local business news site Profit.ro reports.

According to a draft government document obtained by the news site, the move is caused by the need to modernize the Romanian military as a result of the rising insecurity in neighboring Ukraine, which has been struggling against Russia-backed insurgents, and the “regional geopolitical context.”

“A lack of ... financing to investment programs by the defense industry could significantly injure the basic interests and security of the Romanian state,” the document says.

The new funds are to allow local defense companies to supply armored vehicles, air defense missiles, artillery systems, explosives, personal weapons and other gear for the Romanian military.

To ensure that the European Union does not treat the transfer of funds as illegal state aid, Bucharest is foreseeing a special procedure to allocate the money to the defense industry.

In 2014, the Romanian government decided to scrap 1.1 billion lei (US $281 million) in debts owed by 15 state-run defense companies to overhaul their finances.

Romania bought Eurospike anti-tank missiles and air defense radar from Lockheed Martin.

According the website Romania-Insider, last week, Romtehnica announced that it had bought military equipment worth EUR 110 million from Eurospike. State-owned Romtehnica, the company that handles the Romanian Army’s purchases, bought another EUR 50 million worth of military equipment from German and American companies this week.


The company bought an air defense radar from American group Lockheed Martin for USD 32.7 million (some EUR 30 million) and anti-tank missiles from the German-Israeli consortium Eurospike worth EUR 20 million. The purchases were announced earlier this week.

The Romanian Army also bought four drones from American producer UAV Solutions this month.

Romania has significantly increased the defense budget for 2016 and plans to modernize its navy, including the “King Ferdinand” and “Queen Maria” frigates.

In December 2015, Romanian government has approved the draft budget, which includes a 50% increase in the defense spending.

A the same time, U.S. and Romanian officials inaugurated the new Aegis Ashore Phase II radar site and missile battery during a ceremony in Bucharest, Dec. 18, declaring it "technically capable."

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, or USACE, Europe District has worked closely with the Missile Defense Agency, U.S. Navy and Romanian officials to finish the $170 million missile defense complex and meet a presidential mandate for operational capacity by the end of 2015.

  Romania's Type 22 frigates set for upgrade

Radu Tudor, Bucharest - IHS Jane's Defence Weekly

16 March 2016


Romania is finally going to move forward with the Phase 2 modernisation of its two Type 22 frigates. Source: IHS/Tim Fish


Romania's two Type 22 Batch 2 frigates are finally to be modernised after many years of delay, the Romanian Ministry of National Defence (MoND) has announced.

In a statement, the MoND said that "the upgrade will cost RON839 million" (USD208 million) with bidding being open to companies with at least five years' experience in the sector. Under the Phase 2 modernisation effort, "the two frigates will be equipped with anti-aircraft and anti-naval missiles and special sensors that will be integrated into a computer system", the MoND added.

The Phase 2 modernisation work was meant to occur as far back as 2008, but has been continuously delayed due to financial reasons.

The two frigates were originally purchased from the United Kingdom in 2003. Regele Ferdinand (ex-HMS Coventry ) entered service in September 2004, with Regina Maria (ex-HMS London ) following in April 2005. Prior to their delivery they went through a basic Phase 1 modernisation. This included the addition of a 76/62 Super Rapid gun; a new gun fire control system - as an adjunct to the legacy CACS-1 command system - based on NAUTIS 3 processing and a System 2500 electro-optical director; and the installation of DL-12T decoy launchers. The ships are now also able to embark an IAR-330 Puma helicopter in the anti-submarine warfare role.

Besides the two Type 22s, Romania operates one other frigate: the indigenously-built Marasesti that entered service in 1985 and was designed on the basis of Soviet doctrine and using Soviet equipment.

First F-16AM Fighting Falcon purchased by Romania spotted in Portugal
Apr 14, 2016




The first F-16AM Fighting Falcon multirole fighter aircraft purchased by Romania Air Force spotted near Monte Real in Portugal.

The aircraft (serial number M17-4 / 61-534) yet retains the Portuguese military number 15123, but has already received a new camouflage color.

In October 2013, Romania bought 12 second-hand F-16AM/BM aircraft from Portugal to replace part of its fleet of Russian built MiG-21 Lancer fighter aircraft.

Romania was rumored to have paid about 638 million EUR with 120 million EUR for the acquisition of the planes. The contract also included modifications and upgrades performed by Lockheed Martin; additional engines; logistics support; and the training of 9 Romanian pilots and 69 maintenance technicians.

Romania is currently working on modernizing the Fetesti 86 military base which will be host to Romania’s first F-16s. Those are scheduled to arrive in 2016. The base must meet NATO standards by then.
