The Bulgarian cabinet proposes parliamentary approval of a revised SAFE air defence procurement project. It envisages five additional systems alongside the already contracted IRIS-T SLM, BNT reported on 7 October, citing the government press office.
The two stages total approximately €1.106 billion, including missiles, equipment and support. This is a proposal to the National Assembly, rather than an announcement of systems already delivered.
