“The purchase of the F-16 fighter aircraft has nothing to do with the MiG-29s and they will remain in service in the Bulgarian army until 2030,” said Minister of Defence Krasimir Karakachanov for the Russian TASS news agency.
"Yes, they are getting old and the number of aircraft which remain flightworthy is going down, but that is only logical. Some of them are more than 30 years old, but Bulgaria does not intend to sell them," Minister Karakachanov said.
Commenting on the modernization of the MiG29s, Krasimir Karakachanov stated that the Russian MiG aircraft corporation was in no hurry to fulfil the commitments it has assumed and that he hoped this delay was not intentional because it would call into question any further cooperation.
