In response to increased drone attacks and sabotage on Polish railways, Poland and another country are collaborating on joint drone production and coordinating the use of long-range missiles previously used by Ukrainian forces against Russian infrastructure. A similar agreement was reached between Romania and Germany, allowing up to three thousand members of each army to temporarily deploy in the other’s territory for defense, humanitarian aid, or military training over a thirty-day period, aiming to strengthen security cooperation and speed up defensive responses. Recently, a German Eurofighter Typhoon intercepted an unauthorized Russian drone in Romanian airspace. Furthermore, Germany’s Rheinmetall plans to invest one billion euros to establish a factory in Bulgaria that will produce ammunition and artillery weapons, financed through the SAFE program, which Bulgarian officials state will transform the country’s defense industry. Separately, Romania also signed an agreement with Rheinmetall to start producing medium-caliber ammunition for its army at a facility in Szászmedgyes.
