Romanian President Nicusor Dan, speaking at a press conference on Tuesday, said the joint drone production project with Ukraine on Romanian territory is still at the stage of technical discussions. Negotiations involve Romania's defence ministry and, on the Ukrainian side, its defence ministry and several companies. The main challenge, Dan said, is choosing equipment that will not become obsolete within four or six months, since drone technology is advancing so quickly, unlike tanks or aircraft that serve for decades. Dan declined to name deadlines, but said funds are available and that it matters to both Romania and Ukraine that the equipment arrives as soon as possible. No agreement or timeline was reported. Ukrainska Pravda, citing Digi24, carried the account.
