Starting today until Tuesday, military convoys will move through the country to participate in NATO’s Steadfast Dart 2025 exercise on the territory of Romania. The alliance is expected to deploy 10,000 soldiers on its eastern flank for three months.

Bulgaria will be part of the exercise, which should test the capabilities of the forces with a high degree of readiness. From February 3 to 28th, units of the Spanish Armed Forces and NATO Rapid Deployable Corps in Italy will be deployed in the country with about 460 soldiers, their personal weapons and ammunition, as well as 95 combat and transport vehicles.

Steadfast Dart 2025 is NATO's largest exercise this year and will be held in the first quarter with the participation of nine countries on the territories of Bulgaria, Greece and Romania.
