he naval facility of the United States of America in Deveselu, integrated into NATO’s command and control system, provides anti-ballistic protection against emerging threats outside the Euro-Atlantic area,” a statement said.

“The Romanian Army has permanently in service forces that ensure the surveillance of the air, naval, land, information and cyber environments, as well as the detection of threats and the immediate reaction,” the statement said.
