Following Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, a NATO multinational battlegroup was formed and led by the Italian Army, with recent troop contributions from Albania, Bulgaria, Greece, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Romania and Türkiye. Based in Novo Selo, the group regularly trains in combined arms manoeuvres, learning how to simultaneously use artillery, heavy armour and mechanised infantry to leverage their full combat power. If necessary, it can absorb thousands of additional troops and grow in size to a brigade. Ready to rapidly deploy and defend the Alliance, the battlegroup is a strong symbol of assurance for Bulgarians and other Allies in NATO’s east, as well as a potent deterrent against aggression. Bulgaria is also further protected by the new NATO activity ‘Eastern Sentry’, which boosts NATO’s vigilance along its entire eastern flank with more air, land and sea-based military assets. The activity also includes innovative technologies to tackle new challenges, like the ones we see from drones. Additionally, it helps to better connect the military assets that are already available, from the High North to the Black Sea, and elsewhere in the Alliance. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ SUBSCRIBE to this channel https://bit.ly/NATOsubscribe SUBSCRIBE to NATO News https://bit.ly/NATONewsSubscribe SUBSCRIBE to NATO History https://bit.ly/NATOHistorySubscribe Connect with NATO online: Visit the Official NATO Homepage: https://bit.ly/NATOhomepage Receive NATO updates via email: https://bit.ly/NATOemails Find NATO on FACEBOOK: https://bit.ly/NATOfacebook Follow @NATO on TWITTER: https://bit.ly/NATOtwitter Follow NATO on Instagram: https://bit.ly/NATOinstagram Find NATO on LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/NATOlinkedin Find NATO on Flickr: https://bit.ly/NATOflickr #NATO #OTAN #Bulgaria Tue, 09 Jun 2026 08:07:16 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://tube.home.franssen.xyz https://tube.home.franssen.xyz/client/assets/images/icons/icon-1500x1500.png https://tube.home.franssen.xyz/videos/watch/9f410033-4d6a-441d-84c9-638188a079f9 All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://tube.home.franssen.xyz/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
