Because of the coronavirus crisis two of Bulgaria's Su-25 combat aircraft sent to Belarus for repairs will be returned to Bulgaria with a delay of two months, the Ministry of Defence announced.  

The first aircraft is expected to be back in Bulgaria in July, and the second – in August. In 2018 this country signed a contract with a Belarusian company for the repair of 8 attack aircraft for the sum of around EUR 42 million.
