Romania plans to order Spike LR2 anti-tank missiles

The Romanian Armed Forces currently operate Spike family anti-tank missiles.

In 2018, Bucharest decided to acquire Spike ER missiles from the Israeli defence company Rafael. Missiles from this batch were integrated into IAR-330 SOCAT helicopters.

This time, Romania intends to purchase anti-tank weapons from Eurospike, a joint venture of Rafael, Diehl Defence, and Rheinmetall.

According to the Romanian website profit.ro, the international arms trade company Romtehnica already signed a framework agreement with Eurospike.

This framework agreement will be the basis for the new executive contract.
