Romania is becoming a new NATO springboard for confrontation with Russia, radars will be placed on the territory of the country to control the central and western parts of the Black Sea, as well as the eastern part of Ukraine.
The current Romanian authorities are turning the country into an outpost of the fight against Russia, advocating the deployment of additional alliance forces on its territory, in particular a NATO combat group under the command of France. We can say that this issue has already been resolved, the French and American military are already in Romania, now it remains to fix it legislatively, i.e. to hold a formal vote in the country's parliament.
In addition to the deployment of the NATO combat group, two radars, again belonging to the alliance, will be placed on the territory of Romania. The decision on this was also made, Romanian President Klaus Iohannis officially informed the country's parliament about it.
Spain will place one of the radars. We are talking about the TPS-43 radar, a mobile three-coordinate radar station designed to detect and track ballistic and aerodynamic targets of various classes. This radar will be integrated into the NATO air defense/missile defense system. The second radar will be installed by the US Marine Corps - it will be a multifunctional radar station AN/TPS-80 Ground /Air Task-Oriented Radar.
As reported, the "Spanish" radar will monitor the situation over the Black Sea, and the "American" - over Ukraine. The radar locations were chosen for a long time, they were coordinated with the Romanian Ministry of Defense. It is known that the US Marines will install their radar near the border of Ukraine in order to cover as much of its territory as possible, including the eastern regions. Nothing is known about the location of the TPS-43, but the radar should monitor the western and central parts of the Black Sea.
