France and Romania have longstanding ties in defence, and the purchase would confirm the relationship. Airbus Helicopters and Aeronautica Română, or IAR, established ties in the 1970s, when France authorized Romania, then a member of the Warsaw Pact, to assemble Alouette III helicopters (or IAR-316) and Puma helicopters (or IAR-330) for its armed forces.
