On November 19, we mark the Day of the Bulgarian Land Forces. Land Forces Day is celebrated on the 136th anniversary of the Serbian-Bulgarian War and the victory at Slivnitsa. On this occassion, Major General Mikhail Popov, Commander of Bulgaria’s Land Forces, said that the project for the acquisition of new infantry vehicles must resume, which is of great importance for the modernization of the Bulgarian army.
