The modernization of the old T-72 tanks using Israeli technology in a Bulgarian state-owned company would cost 85 million euros, cabinet spokesperson Lena Borislavova said. Separately, 36 million euros are provided for new radio equipment of tanks according to NATO standards. 30 million euros will go for the completion of the project for off-road and armored vehicles of the special forces.
