| Design and equipment origin context | — | The ship's design was to be the work of Romanian engineers only, without the participation of foreign specialists. Systems which could not be developed independently, or licences acquired, were predominantly procured from the Soviet Union. All weapon systems and electronic equipment were of Soviet origin, though still not modern due to the Soviet export policies on individual system sales. The choice of diesel propulsion, provided again by the Soviet Union, was also not optimal for a ship of this size.[source] |
