very strange choice of priorities, they don't have a any modern air defense system, anti-armour systems and many other more useful things than subs

gosh, in B. Army even trucks from socialist age

for expamle look at the romanian navy's submarine - NMS Delfinul, forever stuck at the pier, no reasons for other result for Bulgaria

There's nothing quite as unnerving as a submarine or two protecting a coastal target. They do nothing for air defence but for a country like Bulgaria who fears Russia by sea, it makes all the sense in the world, especially considering Crimea. Look at the Argentinian San Luis during the Falklands War.

Will two subs be enough to make Russia think twice?

Even Poland hasn't got an operational submarine currently.

Actually most truck are Mercedes. As for AT - we make it here and manage to export weapons for over 2 billion lats year...to partners...that then send it to UA.
