It will be the first official mission carried out by the modernized IAR-330s

I do not see what is the problem regarding the priests? Isn't God the same as He was in 1940? Traditions need to be revived and preserved, especially after 50 years of Communism.

As I said, I have nothing against it, actualy it is a good things for those soldiers. But that's not the point. This way we are not better then the Musslims who fight in the name of Alah. The bllesing was somethig official and not a request of the participants. Religion is for people and not for politics. All the factions involved in the European theatre in WW2 were fighting in the name of the same God. No army in this world is the Army of God. We should have learned from this and move forward.

As far as I know the army isn't involved in politics.
