The contract with "Rheinmetall" is a positive and strategic step. This is a chance for Bulgaria to develop its military-weapons industry even better.
This was said in the program "Osche ot dne" on BNT by former Minister of Defense Angel Naydenov, who commented on the contract signed today with "Rheinmetall" for a gunpowder and ammunition plant.
"The advantages of this deal are that VMZ-Sopot will receive technical and technological renovation, new jobs will be created, the region will develop and last but not least - there will be more revenue in the state treasury. "Rheinmetall's entry into Bulgaria is a sign of trust. This is a chance for our arms industry to partner with other companies, not just with Rheinmetall. In recent years, there has been a continuous increase in revenues from the arms industry," Naydenov revealed.
