Bulgaria will negotiate with France and Sweden to use their fighter aircraft until the first US-made F-16 jets are received in 2025, Bulgarian Minister of Defense Dimitar Stoyanov said.
Talks with the French delegation are scheduled for today and those with the Swedish delegation are on Tuesday. The issue became important after it became clear that the delivery of the F-16 jets would be delayed, while the resource of the currently used MiG-29 jets expires in 2023. Meanwhile, Bulgaria is to buy two engines for its MiGs, while another six will be repaired in Poland.
"We currently have a resource until the middle of 2023, but in case of very limited flight activity. This is very disturbing", Dimitar Stoyanov commented.
