Changes in the modern security environment, along with the emergence of
non-traditional risks and threats, pose new and unexpected challenges to
national security. Its direct impact is on the unstable situation in the
Western Balkan countries, the Black Sea region, and the crisis in Ukraine, the
Middle East and North Africa. The counteraction of the "hybrid"
warfare model, combining conventional means with unconventional methods,
requires the search for multilateral approaches to addressing security and
defense challenges.
The Republic of Bulgaria builds its defense policy within the framework of
NATO's collective defense and the Common Security and Defense Policy of the
European Union. In this sense, the Armed Forces capability objectives are an
essential tool for fulfilling the tasks of protecting national interests,
implementing allied engagements and contributing to national security in
peacetime. They are used in accordance with the established order of the
Constitution, the laws of the country and the observance of international law.
The National Defense Strategy defines the following missions for the Air
Defense, Support for International Peace and Security and Contribution to
National Security in Peacetime.
In order to find an acceptable balance between the available resources and
the development of the necessary capabilities to implement the missions and
tasks of the Armed Forces, taking into account the changes in the strategic
security environment and the medium-term priorities for acquiring new
capabilities and upgrading the Armed Forces, we conduct a review of the defense
capabilities.
