Mowag Piranha

The Bulgarian government swiftly approved an emergency allocation of $263.3 million towards the first installment for acquiring Stryker armored vehicles, set to be paid by December 15th.

The Bulgarian Parliament ratified an agreement on Friday for the acquisition of Stryker combat vehicles, marking a crucial step in bolstering the nation's defense capabilities. The decision, passed with 148 votes in favor, 53 against, and five abstentions, solidifies the acquisition process for the much-needed combat and service vehicles.

This proposed sale would support the foreign policy and national security objectives of the United States by helping to improve the security of a North Atlantic Treaty Organization ally.

The government would like to develop the national defence industry, Prime Minister Ludovic Orban said on Wednesday, adding that the association for the production of the Piranha 5 armoured personnel carrier is an example of good practice.
