Bulgarian Interest in Missile Defense

October 16, 2003 :: Bulgarian News Network :: News

Bulgarian Army Chief of Staff Nikola Kolev recently expressed interest in missile defenses for his country. “If some countries are not dispossessed of their capabilities to build such weapons, we’ll have to build such a system sooner or later,” he said according to the Bulgarian News Network. Last month news reports suggested that the US was looking into cooperating with Romania and Bulgaria for a Europe-based missile defense system to protect from attacks by Iran.
        The increasing interest in missile defense points toward a likelihood of a global transition from purely offensive deterrence regarding the ballistic missile threat to one which includes missile defenses, a transition from doctrines of assured destruction to doctrines of defense.
