Romania cannot afford F-16 jets: president

BUCHAREST - Romania cannot afford to purchase second-hand F-16 combat aircraft unless granted a long-term financing plan, Romanian president Traian Basescu said on Sunday.

"We have no money and we cannot commit ourselves to such a contract without a long-term financing scheme," Basescu said during an interview on private TV channel ProTV.

"There is no pressure from the US to buy aircraft, but on joining NATO we committed ourselves to equipping the armed forces with 48 fighter jets compatible with the Alliance's," he added.

Romania had announced in March 2010 its decision to purchase 24 F-16 aircraft currently used by the US air forces, at a cost of 1.3 billion dollars (1.1 billion euros), in order to replace its ageing, Soviet-made MiG Lancer jets.

The announcement triggered criticism from European groups Eurofighter and Saab, which stressed authorities should have issued a call for tenders.

But a few months later, struggling with a deep economic crisis, the governement announced it would not be able to finance the buy in 2010.

The American ambassador to Romania, Mark Gitenstein, this week said that a regional plan involving the purchase of new F-16 also by Croatia and Bulgaria was "in the works" in order to reduce costs.

Maybe even the Hungarians and the Czechs might be interested, he said.

"Then you have a flow of orders that makes it easier to keep the assembly line open and reduces the cost per airplane," he said.

The CA-95M is a short range, amphibious, self-propelled, anti-aircraft weapon. It is Romanian native-made and is based on the CA-95M1 missile (licensed 9K31 Strela-1, with a proximity fuse and, if I remember correctly, better warhead and an improved IR seeker). The vehicle (ML-A95M) is basically a TABC-79.

La Marine roumaine possédait un SM Kilo877E, le Delfinul II. Ce SM qui a été ASA chez les russes en septembre sera transféré à la marine roumaine vers la fin de la même année. après 10 ans de service, il sera désarmé en 1995 à cause du manques des fonds pour la maintenir en service actif. Dés 2005 on commencait à évoquer l'idée de son réarmement, chose qui n'a pas été réalisé jusqu'au aujourd'hui.

La Roumanie construira ses premiers submersibles dés les années 30 à Fiume en Croitie, c'est un SM appelé Delfinul ( Dauphin ), entré en service en 1936. 2 Autres ( Rechinul et Marsuinul ) seront construit par Damen ( Galatzi Shipyard ) en 1940. En 1943, la marine italienne céda 4 Mini-submersibles à la marine royale roumaine. Ces SM vont participer activement à plus opération navale pendant la WWII, notamment à la plus importante opértion navale de la mer Noir en May 1944, l'Opération 60K.

Après la guerre, la Roumanie était obligée de concerver quelques unités de sa large flotte de combat, mais dés octobre 45, elle arrive à récupérer le SM Delfinul. En 46 le Rechinul suit.

La Roumanie décide de désarmer sa flotte sous-marine en 1960.

Aujourd'hui, voilà l'état du Kilo :

Romania could procure second hand F-16 from Portugal or the Netherlands

Minister of Defense Corneliu Dobritoiu told Agerpres, after a meeting with the reserve military that a team of specialists will go to the Netherlands and Portugal to assess the technical condition of some F-16 type aircraft that Romania might procure for the Army.

'We will assess the jets, to see if they are technically up to our requirements, their upgrading needs, the cost and if we can afford them, or not. The assessments are made in Portugal and the Netherlands', Dobritoiu said.

He admitted that Romania could buy F-16s from the Portuguese or the Dutch, arguing that Romania's strategic goal should be getting the fifth generation jets 'at minimal costs''.

'Anyway we do not have money to transition to new jets. And then this decision would have an effect on a time interval of 40 to 50, even 55 years because for a new fifth generation jet the life cycle is up to 35-40 years', explained the Minister of Defense.

Initially, Romania announced its intention to procure 'second hand' F-16 from the U.S. Air Force, but now it considers the procurement of the same type of aircraft, but from other countries.

'Anything is possible. All options remain open. We seek the most beneficial option in terms of price-quality ratio for a fifth generation jet', the Minister of Defense added.

Mark Gitenstein, the U.S. Ambassador to Bucharest, said, on May 18, that the Romanian army should pass to a new generation of aircraft. He said that the governments of the two countries steadily discuss about the procurement by Romania of F16 aircraft , an obstacle in this respect being the very high cost, adding that it is not the need to be new aircraft, but upgraded. He stressed that the initial demand for the U.S. to consider selling the planes came from Romania and the Romanian Government and, also, that the upgraded planes could be a solution. Asked if the talks on F16 procurement are 'frozen', the U.S. official replied that discussions on the subject have been held throughout his term.

At the same time, the head of state recalled, on December 16, in the meeting of the Supreme Council of National Defence (CSAT), that in 2015 the combat aircraft of the Romanian Army exhaust their resource and the procurement of a number of 48 jets is needed, set to cover Romania's contribution to NATO, but also for own territory defense.
