The hull of the Bulgarian Navy's first multipurpose modular patrol vessel (MMPV), Hrabri, was launched in front of the MTG Delfin shipyard in Varna on 4 August, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) announced on its website later the same day. The ministry noted that the keel of the Hrabri was laid 14 months ago (in June 2022).

The Bulgarian MoD signed a BGN820 million (USD446 billion) contract in 2020 with German shipbuilder Lürssen Werft (which has since been renamed NVL Group) for two MMPVs, the Hrabri and Smeli. The ministry said the first-of-class Hrabri should be launched in 2025 and the Smeli in 2026.

NVL Group staged a steel-cutting ceremony for Smeli in December 2022.
