site.btaUPDATED Bulgarian Defence Industry Capacity is of Great Interest, Says Defence Minister Tagarev

At the 19th National Innovation Forum Innovations and Sustainable Growth held in Sofia on Tuesday, Defence Minister Todor Tagarev said that until recently, the traditional Bulgarian defence industry was considered obsolete, but now that an intense war is being waged not far from the Bulgarian border, the capacity it has in manufacturing ammunition, small arms and light weapons, repair of equipment and optical instruments is of great interest. He explained that there have been investments from the European Commission, for which decisions are expected to further expand capacity.
