Please get real. Bulgaria is a NATO member. You are living in a fantasy land. Russia is hamstrung over Kosovo. It is not going to war or confrontation over this issue.

Greece, NATO country:

MOSCOW.(Military commentator Nikita Petrov for RIA Novosti)- The Athens authorities have decided to buy 415 BMP-3 infantry fighting vehicles from Russia.

Greece is a NATO member, and so its decision to buy military equipment in Russia could be seen as sensational. However, it is not the first time Greece has bought weapons from Russia.

Nearly all of its air defense system consists of Russian-made weapons, such as the portable Igla missile system, the Osa-AKM, Tor-M1 and Buk-M1-2 short- and medium-range systems, and the S-300PMU-1.

Moreover, Greece also has the Russian-made Fagot and Kornet antitank guided missile systems, and the world’s largest military hovercraft, Zubr (NATO reporting name Pomornik).

But this time Greece is buying many infantry fighting vehicles for more than 1.2 billion euros.
