I expect the Bulgarian government to consider all possible options for the purchase of 8 more planes for our fighter aviation, President Rumen Radev commented on the US approval for Sofia to buy 8 more F-16s, adding them to the 8 already paid for.
Eight more F-16s are needed for Bulgaria to defend its air sovereignty and to fulfil its commitments to NATO's integrated air defence system, where we have clear responsibilities, the President said.
