French embassy confirms collaboration with Romania on air defense projects, including Mistral 3 missiles, amid false information.

The French Embassy in Bucharest has informed that Romania is collaborating with France on armament projects for the modernization of the Armed Forces. In the field of anti-aircraft defense, there are two separate projects: one for Mistral 3 man-portable anti-aircraft missiles, with favorable prices, and another for vehicle-mounted anti-aircraft systems, for which a bid was eliminated by the Romanian authorities. The communication comes in response to recent false information.
