Borisov: It is time for a strong defense industry

During a briefing in Targovishte, GERB leader Boyko Borisov emphasized the need for the strategic development of the Bulgarian military-industrial complex. According to him, our country possesses significant potential in the production of drones and anti-drone systems, which currently remains untapped.

"We must develop our military industry; we are not developing it at the moment, but we have the potential," Borisov stated firmly.

Key security priorities:

  • Clarity on the incident: The public must receive accurate information about the origin and type of the crashed drone in order to avoid tension.
  • Respect and authority: Intelligence services and the defense sector must inspire professionalism and respect instead of appearing unprepared in critical situations.
  • Political unity: Given the proximity of the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, a consolidation of the political class is necessary.

Borisov stressed that the geopolitical situation requires adequate measures to ensure the security of citizens and state sovereignty.
