The naval phase of the Breeze 2022 multinational maritime exercises is beginning with the participation of ships and technology from Albania, Belgium, France, Greece, Italy, Latvia, Poland, USA, Romania and Turkey.

For the first time the maneuvers are taking place in two locations simultaneously – in the vicinity of the coastal cities of Burgas and Varna. A total of 24 warships and auxiliary vessels, 5 aircraft, 4 helicopters and 1,390 naval personnel are taking part in Breeze 2022. Four Bulgarian ministries, agencies, organizations and private companies are also taking part with technical equipment.

The scenario of the exercises is that a republic called “Menak” to the North is preventing the European integration of “Devon” to the South, with “Menak” hampering the freedom of ship navigation and security in the Western part of the Black Sea.
