American MLRS HIMARS buys Romania

According to the blog bmpdThe US MoD has asked Congress for permission to sell 54 rocket launchers of the High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems M142 to Romania (HIMARS). Estimated cost of procurement will be 1,25 billion dollars. The general contractor will be Lockheed Martin Corporation.

The party is expected to include 81 an adjustable rocket GMLRS M31A1 Unitary c monoblock warhead, 81 an adjustable rocket GMLRS M30A1 Alternative Warhead with dissipation warhead [apparently, we have in mind is not a rocket, and 6-charging freight launchers modules with missiles], 54 ATACMS M57 Unitary tactical missiles with a one-piece warhead and 30 LCRR practical missiles.

Of the vehicles, 15 armored and 15 unarmored vehicles M1151A1 HMMWV, 54 transport-loading vehicles M1084A1P2 HIMARS Resupply Vehicles (RSV) based on 5-ton FMTV trucks, 54 M1095 MTV trailers and 10 evacuation tractors M1089A1P2 FMTV Wrecker, as well as 24 AFATDS.

According to the plans of the Romanian government, it is planned to purchase HIMARS missile systems by 2022. Other targets for the 11,6 redevelopment program, worth up to 2026, are the purchase of Lockheed Martin F-36 16 fighters (from the US Air Force with upgrades), Patriot anti-aircraft missile systems, and new combat helicopters.

Currently, HIMARS is used in the USA, Singapore, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar. In addition to Romania, this series can complement Poland.

In this case, few tow trucks were ordered:

Disappointing you, Romania has been quite robust in recent years. Like Poland. Do not worry about them.

If everything was so good, the Romanians would not have to yell "FSE was lost, because of the damned British with their disconnection, we will lose 80 million euros in the year of subsidies" ... "
In general, that Poland, that Romania, carried out their “growth” at the cost of a budget deficit, and if Poland, after the shout of Germany, “came to its senses,” Romania still remains at 3%, that is, on the verge of sanctions provided for by the Covenant Stability. Despite the fact that the country is in the lead in "reducing the deficit" by cutting social programs.

And where do they get the money from the Romanians? What camp? Ah! Russophobia is now paid pretty well

And the Romanians where they will take the money

Duc ... amers will pick up loans, and then ... "the camp goes to heaven."

Good time Teska! , they never looked so far, and why, but the US will give them a loan, they will load E.S.

A weapon of aggression, actually. Romania, Poland - Is Ukraine going to share something?

To replace the old Soviet "Grad". Or do we only have the right to change old equipment to new? As for gnawing, they say where the money will be taken, this is not what you need to think about. Romania is refitting, and quite intensively. And it will be very bad if in the near future they try to resolve the issue with Moldova. Moreover, very many at one time voted for joining Romania. And with this technique that you are talking about, "why is it needed" is a very high probability that it can be used to deal with that "splinter". what they have there - with Transnistria. And Transnistria is not South Ossetia and not Abkhazia. You just won’t introduce troops there (they just won’t). How long will Transnistria hold out against a new, more powerful technique? What you need to remember, and not gnaw about camp and stolen horses

Do you have any questions?

They are not afraid of tomato wars. This is the first.
Our peacekeepers, if something happens, are simply evacuated. This is the second.
Russia will not start a war with Europe because of some kind of PMR. This is the third.
But we express concern. As without this, then.

Well, yes, Romania has the strongest army in Europe. The Romanian army went with Hitler to Stalingrad, and then with Stalin to Berlin. They will not solve the issue. The solution of the problem following the example of Ukraine is the end of both Moldova and Romania Mare.

Do not distort. For Transnistria, the Romanian army is enough for the eyes. And everything is slowly moving towards this. "Skakunov", as may not be on the Maidan, but they will be able to deal with the rebellious province - Transnistria

If the Americans are encouraging them to do this, Romanian bonzes are unlikely to understand that, unlike Abkhazia and South Ossetia, a large number of Russians live in Transnistria and the story will turn out completely different from that of Saakashvili.

To begin with, they will be able to read the text on leaflets, as once already in this territory, where it will be painted in black and white, what will happen if they decide to use weapons, and topple.

Yah? And how many times did an attack on peacekeepers lead to armed action? In the same Middle East? And how do you imagine the declarations of war? Peacekeepers are units that separate hostile parties. If a conflict starts, their role will be one - to protect themselves. And how do you plan to deploy reinforcements in Transnistria across a couple of borders? Start a war immediately with all of Europe?
And the fact that the peacekeepers simply will not be shot, but the armed forces of Transnistria will be destroyed, such
do not consider an option?

AND? There are also many Russians living in the Baltic countries. In Ukraine, almost half. The republic is not recognized by the same Russia (as far as I remember it was recognized only by the unrecognized South Ossetia, Karabakh and Abkhazia). On the basis of what will Russia intervene?

Do not confuse the situation of the beginning of the 90s with the modern one. If before something else was dependent on the 14th Army and it was able to extinguish the conflict, then a quarter century has passed. The situation is completely different. And Transnistria can even flood Romania with leaflets. Romania of the 1990s and modern - not the same thing

Are you from the Romanian political department writing? Tell your management there that playing with matches is dangerous.
What does Transnistria have to do with it? The leaflets were Russian. They explained the consequences of rash actions. If you try, you can find a copy, I think. Repetition is the mother of learning.

If someone thinks that Romania or Transnistria are similar to Ukraine - no, Romanians for Russia are not like Ukrainians in Russia and have never been our territory and our people. You should not be mistaken in this regard. We consider Ukrainians and Russians under the guise of Ukrainians to be our part, so everything is very complicated there. With Romania, everything will be much simpler.
The Americans will glance from afar over the next suckers and go on to muddy the water, and the Romanians may be in a very sad position.
PS Find and read a leaflet.
