Romania is advocating for a NATO mission in the Black Sea, termed Black Sea Sentry, to address the rising threat from Russian drone incursions, particularly from Ukraine. The country has recorded more than 10 such incursions since the Russian invasion began in 2022, prompting changes in legislation and troop deployments.

NATO has stated it will adapt the Eastern Sentry mission to enhance airspace security in Romania. In parallel, Cubic Defense has secured a contract to upgrade the Romanian Army's live training capabilities, ensuring better interoperability with NATO partners and modernizing existing training systems.
