Creating the necessary defence capabilities is a priority task of the Government, said Minister of Defence Atanas Zapryanov during a graduation ceremony at the Rakovski National Defence College on Thursday.
"The Bulgarian Army still has outdated systems that are unsuitable for modern warfare, and only the implementation of the rearmament projects will allow us to give you the necessary weapons to dominate potential adversaries," Zapryanov said further.
"We live in a time of dramatic change. A time when conventional war is raging in Europe. The early 21st century illusion that the military instrument has lost its importance in politics and humanitarian aspects will dominate, is history. You will be operating in a multinational alliance environment. Bulgaria is a member of NATO and the EU, and important collective tasks stem from this," Zapryanov told the graduates.
He said he is particularly pleased with the high results and the high success of the graduating class reported this year.
Zapryanov also talked about the funds requested under the SAFE mechanism.
