Romania officially begins the purchase of American Abrams tanks, after the Commission for Defense, Public Order and National Security in the Chamber of Deputies approved the purchase.

The Ministry of National Defense requested, at the beginning of April, the Parliament leadership for the prior approval for the purchase of 54 modernized Abrams tanks.

"We request the prior approval of the Parliament for the initiation of the procedure for awarding the contract related to the 'Main Battle Tank' endowment program, stage I. Stage I of the endowment program starting in 2023 involves the purchase of 54 modernized Abrams tanks in the M1A2 variant and 12 derivatives, in use, from the U.S. Army stock, including ammunition and training stimulators", the request of the Ministry of National Defense states.

According to the document, Romania will buy 54 M1A2 Abrams variant in use.
