The US State Department has approved the possible sale of a Patriot air defense system and related equipment to Romania for an estimated $280 million.

“The proposed sale will improve Romania’s capability to meet current and future threats by enabling it to field a credible force to deter adversaries and support its participation in NATO operations,” the Defense Security Cooperation Agency wrote.

RTX Corporation and Lockheed Martin are the principal contractors for the possible sale.

The purchase, which is expected to be approved by the US Congress, is a replacement for a Patriot system Romania donated to Ukraine in 2024.
