The Romanian company Patromil hopes to revive the production of TNT and launch the production of drones in the country by working for the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
- it says in the edition of Defense Romania.
As indicated, most military factories use obsolete production technologies and focus mainly on the production of products that do not meet NATO standards [we are talking about the manufacture of products based on Soviet designs, for example, local versions of AK or RPG-7].
According to the author, the country's defense industry is characterized by small production volumes, poor product quality and loss of competencies.
Thus, Fabrica de Pulberi SA from Faguerash has not been engaged in the production of explosives since 2004. Its turnover in 2023 amounted to $550 thousand, while Arsenal Reşiśa in Resica (a factory where howitzers and artillery weapons were previously produced) had $70 thousand.

According to Patromil, it is possible to revive the national defense industry by fulfilling orders for Ukraine. The company proposes to build a drone manufacturing plant in Tekuch and to build facilities for the manufacture of TNT needed for projectiles here.
- indicated in the publication.
A powder factory will be built in Victoria, but this is solely an initiative of the European Union, which has allocated €47 million for its construction. In total, €522 million will be invested in this enterprise. 51% of the shares will go to the German Rheinmetall concern. The plant is expected to be operational in 2.5 years after the approval of the project by the government.
