On December 23, the Romanian Government allocated 1.6 billion lei from the budget reserve fund to supplement the budget of the Ministry of National Defense (MApN). These funds will be used to fulfill military procurement contracts, including the modernization of air defense systems to C-RAM standards for countering artillery shells and rockets, similar to the Iron Dome system. The government approved two resolutions: one for 1.3 billion lei and another for 300 million lei for infrastructure at Mihail Kogălniceanu base and for purchasing Patriot PAC-2 missiles through the NATO Support and Procurement Agency.
