Alexandru Mirsu said at the Sea-Air-Space forum here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The capability would be used by Romania&#8217;s Danube flotilla and for coastal surveillance, operated from the shoreline, Mirsu said. He did not provide a timeframe or a budget for the possible acquisition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Plans are underway to buy four new multipurpose corvettes as the core of the Romanian navy, and to modernize its Type 22 frigates. Also expected are purchases of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/global\/europe\/2019\/03\/27\/four-companies-bid-in-romanias-anti-ship-missile-tender\/\" target=_blank>new coastal missile batteries<\/a> and three new submarines \u2014 all part of Romania\u2019s commitment to spending 2 percent of its gross domestic product on defense for the next decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The idea is to expand Romania\u2019s presence in the Black Sea, the Mediterranean and elswhere as needed by allies, and to maintain a submarine program beyond 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mirsu has previously said the submarines are needed to ensure Romania\u2019s operational capacities in the Black Sea, as the one Kilo-class submarine does not meet that need. Its Delfinul submarine was reportedly withdrawn from service and was being used for training purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mirsu also pointed to \u201ca new iron curtain\u201d of Russian anti access\/area denial (A2\/AD) hubs in Kaliningrad, Sevastopol and Syria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He lauded major multinational exercises and NATO operations on the Black Sea for sending a message that the Black Sea is open, and an international body of water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Romania led NATO\u2019s Poseidon antisubmarine exercise on the Black Sea in March. Also notable, the Romanian-led Sea Shield in April involved 20 ships and crews from Romania, Bulgaria, Canada, Greece, the Netherlands and Turkey, all working with maritime patrol aircraft from the U.S. and Turkey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amid growing tensions on the Black Sea, the service is looking at a \u201ctotally new\u201d unmanned aerial system for the maritime and riverine domain, Romania&#8217;s Vice Adm.
