Bromanian does exist. What do you think Romanian bros speak?

Not against the idea. It does seem like the sort of project we should be able to accomplish with sufficient political will. Might give the local industry something to do other than just building and/or assembling licensed APCs.

Hadn't heard of the Saur 2 project in a while. Apparently the reason it wasn't picked up: insufficient protection levels. The Romanian army eventually went for the Piranha V. Now they're floating around the idea of reworking the amphibious transport into something up to date.

Motivul real pentru care Armata României a refuzat să cumpere blindate amfibii Saur 2 românești

E cât se poate de clar azi că celebrul blindat amfibiu românesc Saur 2 are nevoie de o modernizare pentru a se actualiza cu cerințele forțelor armate moderne. Însă de ce a eșuat Saur 2 și nu a fost ac...

This non-invasive research was also applied to Neamț Fortress, making it the only medieval fortification in Moldova with a LiDAR scan. In addition LiDAR scans were conducted at the "Piatra-Neamț – Bâtca Doamnei" archaeological site, home to a significant Dacian-era settlement.

Millennia-old fortifications discovered the forests of Neamț County, Romania, using drones equipped with LiDAR. This technology surveys hard-to-reach archaeological sites, yielding remarkable results and providing archaeologists with crucial new data.

Hopefully we'll sign a deal for the K2 Black Panther sooner rather than later. In the interim we're expecting a battalion of Abrams to come, as long as the US doesn't pull a fast one on us. I don't think that'll happen, we're paying for them after all, but at this point I'd put nothing past Trump.

The answer is from a safe distance, preferably with something separating you and the bear. The Carpathian brown bear is a dangerous animal. Romania also has a significant wolf population, but you're far more likely to get attacked/killed by a bear. Wolves tend to stay away from humans, bears don't.

Nu mă miră deloc având în vedere direcția pe care a luat-o rețeaua de când a preluat-o Elon. Am un prieten mai conservator care vedea Twitterul ca fiind prea stângist, spera că o să fie mai 'echilibrat' cu Musk. S-a lămurit și el care-i treaba. Bine, e conservator, nu cretin. Pardon, extremist :))

Well George Becali, who you know as well as me can't keep a secret to save his life, said about an hour ago Simion will announce his running. I would be surprised if he doesn't. You spend years building yourself up and then some guy shows up an steals your thunder. I'm sure Georgie boy wasn't happy

Călin Georgescu banned from running in the Romanian presidential elections. Good money that George Simion, leader of far right party AUR, who has recently been riding on the coattails of CG, will try to take advantage and run himself. In fact I'm sure this outcome is exactly what he was hoping for.

Romanian far right presidential hopeful and recent MAGA darling, Calin Georgescu, had some interesting thing to say about Trump and Vance in a July 19, '24 podcast: - Trump has transformed MAGA into MIGA (Make Israel Great Again) - Trump's assassination attempt is "Hollywood PR" - Vance is a virus.

From what I've seen "violent clashes" is a bit of an exaggeration. There was some shoving between some people there and the gendarmes, but things are under control at the moment.

Let's get one thing straight: the Tate brothers didn't "escape" or "flee". They were allowed to leave due to political pressure from the Trump/Musk administration. That's what the US is now: a country that uses its might to get people accused of sex offences and human trafficking off the hook.

He'd like to be, but he's already placed himself as a follower even if he doesn't realise it. It could be someone like Puric or Târziu, but it may well be someone we haven't even heard of yet. We've already seen how quickly social media can turn someone into a Chosen One.

As someone who used to look up to the US, I'm sad to say this is a case of the kettle calling the pot black. In Romania you can buy a highly targeted political campaign on a social media platform (TikTok). In the US you can buy a social media platform entirely (Twitter) for political gain.

I hope the prosecution has a bulletproof case, otherwise this isn't going to end well. He'll be turned into martyr. What's worse is now we don't have to worry only about the Russians, but also the Trump/Musk administration. There's pressure from within and without and our system is shaky as it is.

Untrue. He's not allowed to LEAVE Romania, but can travel inside. He can appear on TV. He can post online as long as it's not fascist, antisemitic, racist or xenophobic content or promotes people convicted of war crimes or crimes against humanity - all stuff that's illegal anyway in Romania.
