A Hungarian article criticizes Romania's defense projects, accusing them of dependence on American technology and lack of autonomy.

An article published by a Hungarian site, Mandiner.hu, mocks Romania's ambitions in the defense industry, highlighting the lack of autonomy and dependence on American technology. The publication sarcastically comments on the signing of the contract with Rheinmetall for a powder factory, stating that Bucharest dreams of military power on the continent, but that the reality is different. It is mentioned that Romania's desire to have a "Romanian drone" is overshadowed by the fact that these drones have Western components and that the pilots receive training from Americans.

The article emphasizes that Romania is becoming more of an "assembly factory" rather than achieving technological independence, highlighting that the plans for reindustrialization are supported by European funds and that the Romanian government is promoting the vision of autonomy in front of Brussels. In conclusion, the publication suggests that, despite declarations of independence, Romania remains under American influence in all aspects of the defense industry.
