A pair of M1A2 Abrams battle tanks have arrived in Bulgaria by plane, the country's Defense Ministry has said.
The vehicles, flown into Bulgaria from the American Rammstein Air Base in Germany, are due to take part in the Power Shock drill at the Novo Selo military ground near Sliven.
The exercises is part of NATO's war games unfolding in Eastern Europe to reassert allies on support against what it calls prospective "Russian aggression" in the reigon.

The latest developments come after NATO Supreme Allied Commander Europe Philip Breedlove said in an interview with the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung last week that the alliance was planning to deploy 250 tanks in Eastern Europe, including Bulgaria and five other states.
