Summary/Abstract: The Romanian-Soviet cooperation in the military technique began with Romania’s entering the Warsaw Pact (April 1955). That was justified by the need to equip the Romanian army properly. In the first years, the Soviet part granted credits for military technique. Afterwards, new forms of cooperation developed, such as granting licences, assimilation of new military techniques using documentation and Soviet technical assistance, the joint development of new weaponry, especially in aviation. This cooperation registred also setbacks as during the Czechoslovak crisis in August 1968 or due to Romanian difficulties in paying the imported technique.
