Israel’s Rafael Wins Romanian Tender for Anti-Aircraft Missile System
- On Monday, Romania’s Ministry of Defense revealed that Rafael Advanced Defense Systems won a parliamentary-approved tender valued at $2.2 billion for a short-range air defense system.
- This agreement comes about a month after Romania revealed plans to procure 41 Iron Dome launch systems from Rafael as part of its effort to modernize its air defense infrastructure.
- The purchased system is estimated to be Rafael's SPYDER air defense solution, a truck-mounted platform firing Python-5 missiles effective against drones, helicopters, and fighter jets.
- Pini Yungman, Rafael's Air Defense Division head, stated in January 2024 that the successful SPYDER test represents a technological breakthrough with tailored solutions for evolving threats.
- Romania is undertaking a major modernization of its air defense capabilities, with financial support from the European Union, through what stands as Israel’s second-largest arms deal following the 2023 Arrow 3 sale to Germany.
