"This update, which has been taking place across the Aegis Ballistic Missile Defence system fleet, did not provide any offensive capability to the Aegis Ashore missile defence system", the statement read, APA reports citing Sputnik.
NATO has completed a scheduled upgrade of a land-based Aegis Ashore ballistic missile system in Romania, which the military alliance said was purely defensive in nature.
A US Terminal High Altitude Area Defence (THAAD) system was deployed to the Deveselu base for the time of the upgrade and will now be redeployed as planned.
