We intend and are in negotiations to request an increase in the protection of Bulgaria's airspace with the means of the allies, announced Defense Minister Atanas Zaprryanov during his hearing in the relevant parliamentary committee. This statement, made within the framework of parliamentary control, underlines the growing concern for the security of the national airspace.
Minister Zaprryanov, taking the necessary measures, emphasizes the importance of precautionary actions. The atmosphere in the committee was tense, as the deputies carefully followed what the minister said. Obviously, the topic of security is of particular importance to everyone.
In mid-September, Minister Zaprryanov noted that actions had been taken to strengthen the surveillance of airspace in the northeast direction. This step was taken after an incident involving a drone that violated the airspace of Romania during a Russian attack on Ukraine. Tension in the region has escalated, and such cases require quick and decisive action to ensure security.
The situation in the region is being closely monitored, especially after Poland announced that it had scrambled fighter jets into the air for a "preventative" operation due to the danger of drone strikes in nearby Ukrainian areas. This step underlines the need for vigilance and readiness to respond to potential threats. Obviously, the situation in Ukraine directly affects the security of neighboring countries, which necessitates taking the appropriate measures.
