Defense Ministry planning to get rid of Soviet-era army uniforms, posts new designs online

Defense Minister Vitalie Marinuta recently posted an announcement on the Ministry's website (www.army.md), announcing that the Government seeks to change the Moldovan military's uniforms.

"The specific nature of some activities and missions requires changing the equipment norms of National Army military staff. At the same time, National Army military members are equipped with uniforms based on Soviet-era models, which are not different from the uniforms of militaries in the Commonwealth of Independent States. This situation create confusion during certain international activities in which Moldovan military staff participate," Mr. Marinuta said.

The Minister has also asked Moldovans to express their opinions on the matter on the Ministry's website.
