ROMARM showcased solutions dedicated to the defence industry compatible with NATO devices
With a long experience in the Romanian defense industry, ROMARM presented the most interesting artillery ammunition and combat weapons manufactured by its subsidiaries.
The stand dedicated to weapons attracted the most visitors, as they could be tested, and those interested received the most detailed technical information directly from the specialists of the Cugir Weapons Factory or the Cugir Mechanical Plant, the manufacturing subsidiaries.
The weapons on display were mainly targeted at the military, such as the assault rifle, the semi-automatic rifle, the AKM assault rifle, the sniper rifle, the tripod machine gun, the light machine gun or the 14.5×114 mm machine gun on a T119 multi-purpose mount, but there were also some items dedicated to the civilian market, such as pistols or semi-automatic rifles.
Products developed by the Carfil subsidiary were exhibited in a wide variety of calibers, from thermobaric round, antitank grenade launcher AG-7 DS, HE mortar steel bomb with impact SQ fuze Junghans, to launcher systems such as Comando, AG-7DS or Multiple launcher with fire control system “Hydra”.
Customers interested in artillery ammunition and related accessories could see the most wanted NATO or EST cartridges, Brass cups for various calibers dedicated to infantry ammunition, grenades, fuze parts with programmer, offensive hand grenade, fuzes for hand grenades or even PRN rockets, made by Mechanical Plant Sadu, Mechanical Plant Mija, Tohan, Metrom, UPS Dragomirești, Mechanical Plant Plopeni and Electromecanica Ploiesti.

At such a large event, the exhibition also took place outdoor, where the Saur 2 armored transporter and the AM 7.0 M utility vehicle produced at the Moreni Automechanical Plant were displayed.
The emphasis of the BSDA exhibition for defense industry stakeholders
The BSDA exhibition is an excellent platform for Romanian companies to enter into partnerships that facilitate the transfer of technology and know-how from the national defense and security industry, which is why the event managed to bring together over 300 companies from the global defense, aerospace and security industry from 32 countries.
We believe that this year's event was a success, and ROMARM represented the Romanian defense industry with great distinction, as the ROMARM stand managed to highlight the potential of the local industry.
