Yes,romanians produce weaponry.However,the only thing we have "fully" invented ourselves are the IAR helicopters/planes.Most other war machines/equipment/weapons are still made by romanians,but are really heavily modified versions of Russian technology.I already said about the tanks and also the AKM is a romanian made AK,which is a modifed version of the AK47 ,made for NATO standads(fires different kinds of bullets,and some other specs which are imposed by NATO),and it is widely used in other countries as well,each with it's own small modifications.Also,we use some sort of modified Dragunov sniper-rifle callde Romak i think but i'm not sure.
Also,that romanian sub ,called "The Dolphin " (Delfinul in romana) can't even submerge,because the romanian navy,for some reason,does not want to use money to repair the subs under-water systems .Instead,they use the money to buy frigates from the Brits.How could they do that
To my joy however,the sub is going into some heavy repairs and by 2007 it will be participating in missions on(and hopefully IN the water).Wopee

Also,the Romanians had 7 submarines during the war...The Dolphin,the Shark and another one...can't remember it's name,which were Romanian,and 4 more which were actually u-boats.They fought in the war and showed gr8 heroism in the blocade of Crimeea and the Caucazus ,but they were confiscate by the Soviets...and only the dolphin was returned.Here's some old pics from the war i think :
