“I discussed in the US the possibilities of deploying allied anti-aircraft and coastal anti-ship missile systems to strengthen Bulgaria’s defense capabilities.” This was stated by the Minister of Defense Todor Tagarev during a hearing in the Parliament.
“We asked this question. Of course, it will be necessary to reach a common understanding in both the Pentagon and the State Department. They are aware of the situation here”, explained Tagarev.
Tagarev: The APCs for Ukraine are still in Bulgaria
According to him, this topic will be discussed again in subsequent meetings.
“The bilateral relations between Bulgaria and the USA in the military field are of strategic importance. During the bilateral meetings, the American side also thanked us for the efforts made to increase defense funds from the state budget and aid to Ukraine,” explained the Minister of Defense.
It also became clear from the hearing that the minister had informed the Americans of the plans to build infrastructure for deploying the multinational NATO battle group on our territory.
