Mars: "Din punct de vedere macroeconomic, efortul de apărare nu are o limită optimă fixă, exprimată ca procent din PIB. Totul depinde de ameninţările cu care se confruntă o naţiune şi de dimensiunea sa. NATO recomandă o ţintă de 2% din PIB pentru cheltuielile de apărare, însă, în timpul Războiului Rece, această valoare era de cel puţin 3%".

Statele europene care trăiesc sub ameninţarea Federaţie Ruse trebuie să investească masiv în capacităţile de producţie din industriala naţională de apărare, afirmă o analiză a think-tank-ului Mars (fostă Fundaţia 2 Martie - 2-Mars) publicată în...

Mars: "From a macroeconomic point of view, the defense effort has no fixed optimal limit, expressed as a percentage of GDP. It all depends on the threats a nation faces and its size. NATO recommends a target of 2% of GDP for defense spending, however, during the Cold War, this value was at least 3%".

Former Israeli Air Force commander launches defense technology fund

Ventura Capital - with an eye on military security business

Donald Trump's possible return to the White House has helped spur a wave of investment in defense technology startups across Europe, eight top industry investors and executives say, according to a Reuters story last week.

Nicu Fălcoi a precizat: "De-a lungul timpului, industria de apărare din România a fost profund politizată. La conducerea companiilor din subordinea Romarm au fost puşi oameni care numai oameni de afaceri nu erau, care nu ştiau cum să aducă pe profit o astfel de companie. De aceea, majoritatea companiilor de stat din industria de apărare sunt pe pierdere, ministrul Economiei, Radu Oprea, a venit cu o strategie privind acest domeniu, dar e o declaraţie de bune intenţii şi cam atât".

Nicu Fălcoi: "Singura soluţie este privatizarea companiilor de stat din industria de apărare"

Singura soluţie este privatizarea companiilor de stat din industria de apărare aflate în subordinea Romarm, dacă dorim ca acest sector de activitate economică să se modernizeze şi să devină unul competitiv, ne-a transmis deputatul Nicu Fălcoi...

Deşi activitatea principală a şantierului naval Damen Galaţi, unde sunt angajaţi 1500 de oameni şi care anul trecut a înregistrat un profit de 31,3 milioane lei, este construcţia de nave militare şi comerciale, guvernele care s-au succedat la Palatul Victoria în ultimii zece ani au părut mai preocupate de jocurile politice decât să înzestreze în mod real Forţele Navale Române cu vasele de război necesare

Şantierul Naval Damen - ignorat de statul român pentru dezvoltarea industriei de apărare

Damen Shipyards Galaţi reprezintă un caz atipic pentru modul în care autorităţile centrale înţeleg să colaboreze cu societăţile trăine care au deschis filiale în ţara noastră, colaborare care să ducă la înzestrarea Armatei Române.

Nicu Fălcoi stated: "Over time, the defense industry in Romania has been deeply politicized. People who were not only businessmen were put in charge of the companies subordinated to Romarm, who did not know how to bring such a company to profit. That's why most of the state companies in the defense industry are losing money, the Minister of Economy, Radu Oprea, came up with a strategy regarding this field, but it's a statement of good intentions and that's about it".

Nicu Fălcoi: "The only solution is the privatization of state companies in the defense industry"

Damen Shipyard - ignored by the Romanian state for the development of the defense industry

Damen Shipyards Galaţi is an atypical case for the way in which the central authorities understand to collaborate with foreign companies that have opened subsidiaries in our country, collaboration that leads to the endowment of the Romanian Army....

Mr. Aurel Cazacu pointed out: "In my opinion, even if we are under the umbrella of NATO, we must equip ourselves militarily, because that endowment has three purposes: deterring the enemy, increasing the confidence of the population and economic development".

Aurel Cazacu: "If the Russians attack us, we only have ammunition for two or three days"

The defense industry in our country does not produce as much as it is needed, and this fact leaves us exposed to an armed attack from Russia, military expert Aurel Cazacu, former director general of Romarm, told us.

The conflict in Ukraine and the one in the Middle East forced the states and companies in the defense industry to adapt their strategies and invest massively in the development of new technologies and military capabilities.

The armaments industry - the new attraction for companies and investment funds

• Evolution of the romanian defense industry in the context of the new arms race

Although manufacturing more weapons and increasing ammunition stockpiles are expensive, NATO member states have the financial resources to do so according to a recent report by the International Institute for Strategic Studies which states that "overall, total NATO spending increased by 11% in 2024 , compared to 3 percent in 2023," and that the increase was larger among NATO's European members, "which increased their combined military spending by 19 percent in real terms in 2024."

The war in Ukraine - financial boom for European defense companies

Longer-term concerns about how Russia is acting not only on the front in Ukraine, but also in the Middle East and the Far East have led European NATO member states to embark on an extensive program to increase their own weapons stockpiles, fact...

Military expert Aurel Cazacu believes that, at the moment, no one wants peace, because, through arming, three problems are solved - the enemy is deterred, the confidence of the country's population in victory and protection is increased, and economic development occurs.

Aurel Cazacu: "Russia is not fighting Ukraine, but NATO and the USA"

Recent statements by the Russian Foreign Minister threatening the USA with a new world war aim to strengthen the confidence of the Russian population and soldiers, according to military expert Aurel Cazacu. He believes: "Lavrov has to follow...
