\n ANDOVER, Mass.<\/span>, Dec. 19, 2025<\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — Raytheon, an RTX (NYSE: RTX) business, was awarded a $168 million contract to supply Romania with equipment related to the Patriot\u00ae air and missile defense system.<\/p>\n

The foreign military sales contract includes a radar, command and control system, launchers, and miscellaneous support and test equipment.<\/p>\n

“Patriot remains the air and missile defense system of choice worldwide,” said Pete Bata, senior vice president of Global Patriot at Raytheon. “Our focus is on delivering proven, combat-tested capabilities to support readiness and enhance collective security across Europe.”<\/p>\n

Patriot is the foundation of air defense for 19 countries, and the system continues to demonstrate its effectiveness against advanced aerial threats and massive complex raid attacks.<\/p>\n
