And in peacetime, Bulgaria must prepare for war, but with a single goal – to be so good that we can keep the peace. General Yavor Mateev, Commander of the Joint Special Operations Command of Bulgaria, said this to bTV.
The Bulgarian serviceman is a peacemaker and has proven it over the years, Mateev stressed.
In his words, what is happening in the Middle East and the war in Ukraine are the most adequate response to modern threats. The world caught fire for different reasons – the reasons are ethnic, religious, confrontation between countries, commented General Mateev and added that this is how our special forces prepare so that we can have combat-capable formations.
He also explained what the teachings of the special forces themselves are. Special forces are the ones that the average person first says “wow” when they see them.
In the special forces, physical training is given first place, explained Mateev. It is very difficult to enter the special forces, as the personnel go through serious physical, psychological and medical tests, he pointed out.
However, what weighs on General Yavor Mateev is that people are getting stressed and there are not so many people who will become part of the special forces of the Air Force. It is extremely important that the Bulgarian military receives adequate pay because of the threats and wars. The payment in these conditions is not enough, criticized Mateev.
The salary for a military paratrooper is BGN 306, General Mateev shared his disappointment.
However, he disagrees that the risks that service members take do not merit the same modernization of military pay.
