Krassimir Karakachanov


The exercise performed by the pilot is very complicated, he is adamant

“As far as I know, this is not a technical malfunction of the aircraft.” This was stated by the former Minister of Defense and leader of IMRO Krassimir Karakachanov to BGNES on the occasion of the incident with an Air Force fighter.

He stressed that the exercise, which was performed by the pilot – night shooting over sea space, is extremely complex.

Karakachanov did not rule out that the pilot had lost his bearings, but was adamant that an ongoing investigation would establish the causes of the accident.

“Let the competent commission appointed by the Air Force do its job, because everything else is speculation. The pilot is not an inexperienced person, but the night shooting over the sea is an extremely difficult exercise, “Karakachanov said.

He announced that Bulgaria currently has 8 MiG-29 fighters that have undergone repairs. We have more, but they need the appropriate repair of engines, delivery of units, etc.
