Bucharest has made some questionable decisions in its effort to regain lost time and opportunities to develop and maintain a credible deterrence posture in the Black Sea and build a balanced fleet.
Current naval modernization efforts are limited in strategic value, raising concerns over their operational suitability in the Black Sea amid Russia’s war against Ukraine and the risks they pose to Romania’s fledgling naval industry.
