The exercise was assigned months before. Prosecutors must determine whether the entire sequence of preparation has been followed. Whether he was the right person and whether he was sufficiently prepared, no one commented on him. The Minister of Defense could have started with that. This was said in the program “Speak Now” on BNT by Dimitrina Popova, wife of the deceased pilot, Lieutenant Colonel Valentin Terziev.
The training of absolutely all pilots is extremely low – 30 hours a year, and that of my husband is even less. If he was not prepared, the gaps are in the manager. There are a lot of supporting documents that need to be checked, starting with the safe minimum height below which it should not go down, whether the pilot is prepared for this shooting. The height for attacking the target is below the safety minimum and there is nothing more to investigate. The safe minimum is 2,000 meters, and when the target was attacked, it was 1,800 meters, Popova said.
All safety rules have been violated. According to the rules, if he falls below the safe minimum, he must be punished. And not only has he not fallen below the safe minimum, but a leader has directed him to the task, she stressed.
According to the wife of the deceased lieutenant colonel Terziev, her husband’s death is being used politically. It is used by absolutely all parties, Dimitrina Popova is categorical.
She said she was disappointed with the lack of political responsibility after the death of Lieutenant Colonel Terziev.
