Bulgaria's parliament voted to authorize the United States military to use the country's Bezmer Air Base in support of American operations in the Middle East 1. The measure passed on Wednesday with 136 votes in favor, 13 against, and 2 abstentions 1.
The deployment will include eight KC-135 tanker aircraft, 250 military personnel, and associated equipment, beginning Friday and extending through October 1 1. The Bezmer Air Base, located 260 kilometers from the capital Sofia, operates as a shared facility under a 2006 bilateral defense agreement, which requires parliamentary approval each time the United States seeks to use it for new purposes 1.
Prime Minister Radev emphasized that the decision does not permit combat operations in the Middle East to be conducted from Bulgarian soil, characterizing such a scenario as "categorically out of the question" 1. Defense Minister Stoyanov stated that the government "requested and received guarantees from our strategic partner aimed at minimizing the risks to our national security" 1. The deployment is intended to support logistics operations such as air refueling rather than direct military action 1.
