Charged last Bulgarian submarine

On November 1, 2011, in the main naval base of the Bulgarian Navy Varna a ceremony was held to lower the naval flag at the last Bulgarian fleet submarine - "Glory".

The average diesel-electric submarine of the 633 "Slava" project was built at the Red Sormovo shipyard (No. 112) for the USSR Navy in 1959-1960 as С-36 (factory number 343) and entered the Soviet fleet 30 September 1960 of the year. December 28 The 1985 of the year was transferred to the Bulgarian Navy and became part of the Bulgarian 8-th separate submarine division as "Glory" (tail number 84) based on Varna. As a result, "Glory" was the last submarine of the Bulgarian fleet, the path of which ended November 1 and 2011.

The second similar Bulgarian submarine “Nadezhda” (tail number 83, former Soviet C-38, transferred to 20 in January 1983) was excluded from the Bulgarian Navy 27 in June 2008. In April, the 2009 of the year “Nadezhda” was formally transferred to the city authorities of Varna to become a museum, but in fact nothing was done in this direction and the last two years the decommissioned boat has been rusting, being moored to “Glory”. The Slava itself was also transferred to the Varna authorities after the flag was lowered to be converted into a museum instead of Nadezhda, while the creation of the museum on Slava is planned to be done by selling the former Nadezhda for scrap. Whether these plans will come true - time will tell.

Yes, to see the Bulgarians were completely impoverished. They’ll disappear with this EU. A foreign fleet will be lumped if peas and pepper are enough!

Yes, it’s quite impoverished that the Bulgarians see

And when they were rich without Russia?

[Aleksey42]

Bulgaria is a NATO member. In fact, the occupied territory, in case of war (it is not clear with whom) will supply cannon fodder, weapons and equipment will be provided by "friends of Bulgaria".

[Rashid]

Probably, they are like the Balts, they hope that NATO will protect their country from the attack of Russia, therefore there is no need to maintain the boats, although it seems like a sea country (I almost wrote "power").

Their task is to demonstrate the "aggressive policy of Russia" and knock out some money on this account.

[Varnaga]

Who knows, Bulgaria is a member of NATO? if so, then it becomes already touching.

[mitrich]

Varnaga,
Right Bulgaria is a member of NATO. Since 2004.

[almost demobil]

Bulgaria is a country prostitute, now it doesn’t even smell like little brothers. One can only be glad that NATO includes such formidable allies, there would be more of them. Well, a traitor who betrayed one day will betray the new owner without problems.

thrice prostituting: both world wars + NATO

[Aleksey42]

Unfortunately, this is the fate of many peoples in Europe. There, and the attitude to wars is different from ours. When I read "Schweik", I was surprised that the Czech soldiers almost gladly went prisoner to the "Russian brothers". So in the event of a mess, such NATO members may play into our hands.

[almost demobil]

Yes, in NATO there are many MEMBERS who were accepted to make us more offended. They showed their true face, well, let’s draw our conclusions. Their attitude towards the war is really peculiar, however, I noticed like in most countries where they enjoy wine and dances (Bulgaria, Moldova, Romania, Greece, etc.). From the Slavs, the warrior-people are Russian, Ukrainians and Belarusians. We’ll shut all together, let’s shut them up.

[mitrich]

And they were, Bulgarian little brothers? In the First World War, the Bulgarians - on the side of Germany, in the Second - again for Hitler, although they did not take part in the campaign to the East.
They paid us "good" for liberation from the Ottomans ...

[SIA]

Well, now they are left without a submarine fleet. So to speak, retribution for treason.

[almost demobil]

Looked at the photo, the devils are smiling! Looks like a movie remembering "Raise the periscope". The boat looks awesome.

Here is the price for joining NATO.
It was during the USSR it was possible to pay vegetables for a submarine and get installments by 20 years. Now you have to pay with your own money and the price will be ................ here you will not be given discounts

[dred]

Bulgarian submarines are painfully poor

[Mesniy]

And in the normal countries, no one holds what is not really necessary in the normal countries, for nafik boats in the boat? With whom to fight?

[Ostwind]

"Bulgarian submarine fleet" sounds interesting.

[Foamas]

It is necessary for the Bulgarians to offer our samples.
Central Design Bureau "Malachite" has several ready-made projects of small boats.
Nothing, especially supernatural, but inexpensive and for action in the Black Sea will do.

Do you think the Americans will allow the Bulgarians to buy submarines from us? With Korea, everything will be like with tanks for Iraq, they ordered them on their own, and at such a price that even loyal parliamentarians began to resent!

Europeans have what you say.

A sad sight !!! Sorry for the boat ...
