Opening Comments

Hey, il be reviewing this article as soon as I can. This is my first GA review so please bear with me, and I apologize in advance if any of my findings are incorrect.

Sources

Aegis Ashore shares components of the ship-based version including the AN/SPY-1 radar, Command, Control, and Communication systems, Computers and Intelligence (C4I) systems, Mk 41 Vertical Launch Systems, computer processors, display systems, power supplies, and Raytheon SM-3 interceptor missile variants. The Deveselu site has been upgraded to use the SM-3 Block IB interceptor. The SM-3 Block IB has additional capabilities compared to prior SM-3 versions in identifying and tracking objects during flight.
This paragraph almost directly matches a paragraph found in Source [1], I would suggest rewording it.

The same launchers can be used to fire a range of surface-to-air missiles as well as Tomahawk cruise missiles and other offensive weapons,
I would recommend rewording this sentence found near the bottom of the first capabilities paragraph as it directly matches [2]

Done both. I can further reword them if needed.

Second one is fine now, top paragraph is still showing as a match so that one will need a little more rewording.

Alright, slightly reworded it. I think it should be fine now, unless the C4I definition has something to do with it.

Infobox

Little thing I found, was reading through Source [3] and I noticed it mentions a Colonel Veronel Vavura who served before Razvan Bratulescu. You may want to mention him in the "Past Commanders" infobox section

Done Also changed the source to an official one and changed the years of use for the base to match its establishment in 2012.

Spotcheck

Will be checking 5 random sources later to make sure there's no original research

Source 17: Y Verified.
Source 6: Y Verified.
Source 16: Y Verified.
Source 2: Y Verified.
Source 7: Y Verified.

Spotcheck Notes

Just want to check, is roaf.ro the official Romanian Air Force website? [4]

Yes. You can also check the official sites with the site of the Ministry of Defence - [5]

Brilliant, thank you.
