Ministry of Defense of Bulgaria: Repair and modernization of T-72M tanks will be carried out with the involvement of foreign companies

Reports come from Bulgaria that the country's defense ministry has signed a contract to modernize its tank fleet. At the same time, it is reported that the "modernization" will consist of repairs so far 44 tanks T-72M and three command armored vehicles MT-LB-U.

According to the latest data, the total cost of such a contract is about 40 million euros.

The state-owned company TEREM-Holding will carry out the repair of tanks. She will carry out renovation activities for 2 years. Earlier, the same company repaired 13 tanks of the Bulgarian army, which was also called "modernization".

Defense Minister Krasimir Karakachanov signed an agreement with the said company on December 16. From the statement of the Bulgarian minister:

The contract is aimed at improving the combat capabilities of the ground forces. This is a useful step in the right direction. We are restoring the balance in the modernization of our armed forces.

It is argued that the modernization is carried out, among other things, in order to improve the accuracy of fire from the 125-mm T-72M cannon.

At the same time, it was added that the modernization of T-72M tanks will be carried out with the involvement of foreign companies. What kind of foreign companies we are talking about, whether they are from Russia, has not yet been reported.

The complex of repair and modernization works will be carried out at the plant in the Bulgarian Targovishte.

Not otherwise will they negotiate with the Ukrainians. But these are their (Bulgarians) tanks, which means it is up to them to decide. Although 40 million euros are also not superfluous for us.

[Keyser soze]

Elbit systems. Ukraine does not have such technologies. Plus, IAI will supply, perhaps again through Elbit, new radar systems for the Air Force, worth 200 million euros, so Israel has a position among the Bulgarian military. And technology too.

Bulgaria is slowly starting to dry gunpowder, have you decided to restore the draft again?

[Keyser soze]

Yes, it turns out that way. So far there are no problems, but you don't have to be Wanga to see that the world is restless. So they started spending more on the army this year. Fortunately, there is money, only there would be a desire. And the call was restored and I suspect that this is a step to the obligatory call again. Otherwise, in this year began the darkness of military projects. If we continue this way for several years, we will quickly turn into a rather militarized power. Well, by European standards ....

[Pavlos Melas]

I hope that Skopje will not be the catalyst. It will be good if we don't repeat our mistakes and the Thracian front stands

[Keyser soze]

I hope that Skopje will not be the catalyst.

Pavlos, we say that the Macedonians are so stupid that they are undoubtedly Bulgarians. This is so, self-irony. Nafik they did not surrender to anyone.

The second joke we have is that "a Bessarabian Bulgarian in pure Russian will tell you that he is Bulgarian, and a Macedonian in pure Bulgarian that he is not a Bulgarian.

Thracian front ...

And are you Brutus? Leave Russian the perversion with the Greek letter Ѳ

[Pavlos Melas]

Well, given that we communicate in Russian, the letter Θ is simplified and so yes μετοπο στη Θράκη

With you. Let's take our 8 F 16s and bomb your garage to zero. In two waves of 4 aircraft.

Bro, I served in the Strategic Missile Forces .... There will be a zvizdets otvetka.

Strategic Missile Forces ... well, I could have hit an infantryman, well, with a driver, no chef, Strategic Rocket Forces ...

Oleg, I have beguiled the coast, but you and I can grind the little thing. I will grow you a garage of 7 floors and fill it with vodka and cucumbers until the 6th floor.

Bro, can you accidentally jump around our Parliament during exercises? Just be more careful, it’s between the monument to Alexander II and the Cathedral of Alexander Nevsky - jewelry work is needed!

So far, only voluntary service.
Voluntary military service introduced in Bulgaria (Dec 16, 2020)
Any Bulgarian citizen under the age of 40, at his request and provided that he meets the requirements of the law, can undergo a 6-month service in the country's Armed Forces. This became possible after the adoption by the deputies of the People's Assembly of amendments to the Law on the Reserve of the Armed Forces of Bulgaria, the press service of the Ministry of Defense said. The changes create an opportunity for compulsory military service in the voluntary reserve. An agreement will be concluded with everyone who wishes, providing for remuneration, social security contributions and medical insurance.
The amendments to the law enable employers to retain their staff by allowing them to take unpaid leave to perform compulsory military service in a voluntary reserve.
The changes will also expand the education of students who can acquire skills related to defending their homeland, surviving military crises, and knowledge of the missions and missions of the military.

Who will let us get to these tanks and 40 million euros?
The maximum that we will then be told how great the T-72M tanks were modernized by Israel

[Keyser soze]

By the way, the Belarusians received 40+ million euros from us for the modernization of the 8x SU 25. They coped just in time, perfectly well. And they will probably get a job for the rest of the drying.
By the way, they stuffed everything that is possible inside:

Belarusians produce only part of the equipment for SU 25, and the rest has to be purchased from the Russian Federation. I wonder why Bulgaria drew attention to Belarusians, and not to Ukraine? Those also take up the modernization of any equipment! Starting from L-39 and ending with Space Shuttle

[Keyser soze]

This is clear. You were also at the tender. The Belarusians won.

This is a military tender. Obviously, the Belarusians have, as it is in Russian .. otorization, licensing from you, to carry out these repairs and upgrades.

But was it once a problem for NATO countries, as far as I remember not!

[Keyser soze]

I don’t know, dear, I’m not an expert on NATO countries. Each country has its own policies and laws. At our tenders, especially aviation ones, guarantees are needed, to prove the possibility of repair / modernization, and so on.

As an example, our Mig 29s are capitalized only by you. And what we can and do ourselves. Otherwise, RSK Mig received from us, in the last 10 years, probably about 140 million euros.

PS In a moment, another copy will appear, which misunderstood something, accuse that we are repairing Migi in Ukraine and completely apoplelect ...
PSS Unfamiliar friend! If you are reading this and in the village store in Zadryuchinsk they said that Bulgaria is repairing its Mig 29, in Ukraine, please give a contract to the studio or shut up forever! It was not the Bulgarians, but the Croats, and not with Mig 29 but with Mig 21 ...

[Petroff]

What's the point !? Wait three years, as one southern country waited for Oplotov !? It's easier to give it to the Poles. They 72 to their Solid can upgrade. Both are members of NATO and the European Union. Why give orders to the side.

[knn54]

The Serbian M-84AS1 tank is considered by many to be the best foreign modernization of the T-72 family vehicles, especially since Serbia is very close.

[svp67]

What kind of foreign companies we are talking about, whether they are from Russia, has not yet been reported.

Russia and the "cannon shot" are NOT ALLOWED. It is clear that it will be either Israelis, or French, or Italians ... Or maybe all together

[Petroff]

Well, yes, the French and Italians are specialists in the modernization of Soviet tanks ... Maybe all the same Serbs and Poles !?

[alex neym_2]

Brothers with Shepetovka agreed? At that plant, spare parts have been in the sump since Soviet times! Or maybe they already drove to Limpopo? Here the dogs will be offended!

Israel. There "is a quarter of our former people." And they are the legal successors of the USSR.

[Petroff]

And the factories for the modernization of Soviet tanks were taken out !?
Rather, I believe that Serbs, Poles or Chinese will modernize.

[Quadro]

Throw a link to the document that Israel is the legal successor of the USSR

[Doliva63]

"... to increase the accuracy of fire from the 125-mm T-72M cannon."
And how can this be done without replacing the barrel, I wonder?

[Petroff]

Replacing with another 125mm gun. For example, replacing 2A46 with 2A46M increases the accuracy of fire on moving targets on the move by 1.5 times. And then there is M2 M3 M4 M5. The latter are already mainly on the T90. Poles have M, they put it on their firm. The Chinese have an analogue.

It was about accuracy, not accuracy. But I didn’t know that our "friends" had our gun in production. And do they have delta B zero like ours?

Bulgarian journalists rewrote the inscription on the fence and translated it here, and so it rolled through Google ...
They will install new sighting systems and thus increase accuracy.

Bulgaria, as a NATO member, is obliged to repair its own only for members.

The German tank school was created in Kazan, bypassing the Versailles treaties. In 1932 Guderian was there, with a German commission. And Willy Mesery was supplied to the USSR in 1940.

[Gennady Fomkin]

I have seen many patients from Bulgaria (Germany) lately. Mostly refugees and social workers of all kinds. So they look far from Slavic and often speak Turkish, and the names are also strange: Mustafa, for example. How so?

[Vincenzo]

these are Gypsies and Turks with Bulgarian passports! In Bulgaria, they are offended if they are told that they are Bulgarians. But when they abroad they always represent themselves as Bulgarians! And if you break your head with any of these "freeloaders" with Bulgarian passports, you will only get congratulations from Bulgaria!

Yes, I was passing there You were not invited there, your generals were hanging around the Duce experience, so to speak, adopted And he also sold krupp equipment with machine tools and sent engineers back to the design bureau on a business trip where they worked for the good and increasing the defense capability of the USSR
