The Romanian government has asked the United States to buy 32 F-35 aircraft, ammunition, and other related equipment for $7.2 billion.

The US State Department has agreed to a decision on the possible sale of fifth-generation F-35 fighter jets and related equipment to the Romanian government. This was reported by the US Defense Security Cooperation Agency.

The agency has already provided the necessary certification by notifying Congress of this potential sale.

It is indicated that the Romanian government has requested to purchase 32 F-35A Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter aircraft and 33 Pratt & Whitney F135-PW-100 engines, ammunition, and other related equipment. The value of the contract is estimated at $7.2 billion.

“The proposed sale will improve Romania’s ability to counter current and future threats by further equipping it to conduct self-defense and regional security missions, while enhancing interoperability with the United States and other NATO members,” the statement said.

Let’s remember that last year Romania announced plans to buy 32 F-35 fighter jets for a total of $6.5 billion. This agreement was approved by the Romanian Supreme Defense Council.

And last month, the United States approved the sale of AIM-120 AMRAAM missiles to Romania for $180 million. They are compatible with F-16 and F-35 fighter jets.
