Obviously it is a collective answer that NATO countries have prepared, a collective scenario. No question for a country having to defense itself all alone,” Dincu added. The Defense Ministry informed, at the end of 2021, that the specific purchase procedure for the product “Multifunctional corvette”was completed in 2019 by declaring the association made of the Naval Group of France and Constanta Shipyard Company, the winning economic operator.
