The Anti-Aircraft Missile Regiment "Dimitrie Cantemir" (Romanian: Regimentul de rachete antiaeriene „Dimitrie Cantemir”) is a aerial defense formation of the Moldovan Air Force, based in the village of Durlești. It has the mission to supervise and defend the airspace of the Republic of Moldova.[1][2][3] Both conscripts and contract soldiers serve in the regiment. In addition, 35 women serving in its ranks.[4][5]

It is named after Dimitrie Cantemir, a Moldavian soldier and statesman who twice served as voivode of Moldavia (March–April 1693 and 1710–1711).

History[]

The regiment was created in May 1992 and took an oath of allegiance to the Republic that month.[1][2] It was then the size of a brigade. The month before, the brigade had taken up combat duty during the Transnistria War.[6] On 3 September 1993, the of the Soviet was reorganized into the brigade.[7] By 2011, the Dimitrie Cantemir Brigade had become a regiment.[8] It took part in 2017 in the efforts to liquidate the consequences of the natural disaster in Chisinau and Durlesti.[9][10]

After the resignation of Defense Minister Pavel Creanga and the brigade commander Iurie Bradu, the Moldovan air defense systems are entering a steep peak and are falling into moral and technical decline.
