Bulgaria will still rely on Russian MiG-29 aircraft –

/ world today news/ For just a week, I lived the dream of combat aviation for new fighters.
The government intends to reject the proposal of the Ministers of Defense Nikolay Nenchev and Ministers of Foreign Affairs Daniel Mitov to start the project, writes Sega, referring to its sources from the Ministry of Defense.

The proposal was tabled last Tuesday, and the Ministry of Defense was quick to boast that the process had begun. The very next day, the point was postponed to this Wednesday, but according to unofficial information, the cabinet will not deal with the draft decision at all.

The publication’s sources explained that Prime Minister Boyko Borisov was most angry at the second point in Nenchev’s proposal – to request joint protection of our skies with another NATO member country. The issue of joint security is particularly sensitive for the leadership of combat aviation, which was completely unaware of Nenchev’s ideas. That’s why the prime minister asked to solve the issue of protecting the sky within the framework of restoring the airworthiness of the MiG-29. “With this growth of the economy, after 15 years we will be able to buy a new squadron ourselves. Now we have a problem with the fact that we have already paid over BGN 3.6 billion under the KTB,” said Boyko Borisov on Friday.

For now, Poland appears to be the most likely salvation for the Bulgarian Air Force. According to sources from the Ministry of Defense, a delegation from Warsaw visited Bulgaria at the end of last week, with which the repair of the fighters was discussed. The Poles have promised to help extend the airworthiness of the machines for at least another 15 years. That is why the Air Force was surprised by Nenchev’s decision to land the Bulgarian fighters and ask for help from another country.
