So let them now be friends with the United States and others, but they don’t turn to Russia when they close it.

And silently swallow losses from such a "friendship."

- Eh, "bros", brave guys, where is your hut?
- Our hut - leftovers from the table of the adversary. That's where our hut is!

[Pete mitchell]

No, Pasha, they can’t get used to losses, they’ve already been thoroughly “bent”, but they can’t walk with the proud either. The poorest country in Europe, of course the cheapest on the list, quite by accident the F-16MLU. Just for some reason, the usaf pilots themselves call them darts arrow .. What kind of Russian bros are they, let .., no further censorship

[bouncyhunter]

I realized what you wanted to say, Tramp. I can only say one thing - the Bulgarians have chosen their own path. And the whole responsibility of this choice lies with them.

Let’s not pay attention to the old merits, but pay attention to the fact that most likely F-16s will appear in Bulgaria ... And it is these aircraft that are being remade under the carriers of tactical Raman weapons and modernized atomic bombs. This is what should worry us more now. American "seals" in Burgas, now here is the possible appearance of nuclear carrier carriers ... Apparently, they gathered to fight with Daesh.

Right Moreover, so thoroughly, after having preliminarily drove transports from BC to BV. Not otherwise - for yourself. By the way, money for the purchase of aircraft, plus "Hohloexpress" is also a topic. To whom did the "brother" ship 2c1 ship there recently?

[Dembel77]

Hello to my ex-brothers ... when you cook again - contact us, the Russians will save your asses again - we are generous ...

Probably with Iran. The Yankees have all the ABMs in the geyrop against Iran. Why come up with something new.

[Private Starley]

It’s for sure that the FShastas with their nata have already climbed into all the holes ... there are several dozen airplanes in each country, but in general there are already enough of them to get on the rampage ... oh, they are not friends with their heads ...

[sychiov]

svp67. There is a bludgeon for NATO over weightier than the F-16 with nuclear weapons.
Experienced tank "Object 292" of the design bureau of the Kirov Plant (Spetsmash OJSC) and VNIITransmash scientists.
On the basis of the chassis of the T-80U tank, a new turret with a 152 mm gun and a new MZ was installed.

And if you install on the object 292 not smoothbore, but a rifled 152 mm gun unified with the self-propelled guns Msta-S and Akatsiya, etc.
It turns out HERE such a pill at the European theater of V.D.



It is relatively easy to destroy any self-propelled guns, but a tank firing 2.5 kilotons of ammunition compatible with Kaolitsiya-SV and Msta-S is not so easy to destroy, especially if there are about 500-600 of them.

[Thunderbolt]

Gripen looks beautiful in this tender, but most likely the Romanian example will be contagious and they will fly to the F-16.

[Cutter]

And now the trash will be bought all over Europe and will be satisfied. They forgot how they were freed from the Turks, in fact, Erdogan will come soon!

[Walanin]

And what did they have to do, buy a rusty Mig-29?

[Spartanez300]

Russia also sells modern weapons abroad, and since they were related to NATO, the road to Russian weapons is closed to them.

[Walanin]

They need acceptable weapons for reasonable money. What can Russia offer compatible with NATO standards in this class of weapons?
Here, the path to Russian weapons is more likely closed to them, and not vice versa.

[Topotun]

Rusty MIGs only in / in Ukraine. And so God bless them even though flying on brooms.

[Cutter]

Yes, I’m not talking about rusty MIGs, I’m just talking about the incompatibility of standards (NATO and Russian), I’m saying that this "fraternity" is crawling into the bloc, I realized I’ll have to buy junk stuff, there’ll be no money for a new one! This is not a BROTHER who constantly defended them when there was a bloody yushka on his face and armed him with modern weapons! "THANKS" we observe repeatedly!

[Topotun]

But is this their money? And as for the brothers - God bless us from such "friends", and we will defend ourselves from enemies. How much the Union has invested in their development ... Everyone has lowered ...

[Altona]

Forever cheating on us "little brothers" who once even wanted to become the 16th republic of the USSR.

[gurzuf]

Decorative "bros". Two world wars and in both against Russia.

[alatanas]

Only in the WWI and in the territory of Dobrudzhi, which, according to the San Stefan Treaty, is Bulgarian.
In WWII, the USSR declares war on Bulgaria on September 7, 1944.

[but still]

Yes, it makes no sense - they have such a program ... they press on their feelings ... They want thanks, trying to arouse guilt ... Nothing new ... :)

And how to enter the territory of the country, officially in war with the Allies since December 1941? Two submarines were sunk at war, and which brought the loss of the Soviet Army ... Fought in Yugoslavia, with the partisans Broz Tito, freeing German troops to transfer to the Eastern Front?

You forgot about the Balkan wars, where they fought against the allies of Russia.

[alatanas]

And these allies, even before the outbreak of hostilities in the second part of the Balkan wars, accepted a secret agreement against Bulgaria (Serbia and Greece), and Romania also hammered a knife in the back. Then the Turks calmly returned, contrary to the London Treaty, and those Bulgarians in eastern Thrace who did not manage to escape, were cut to the last, and villages and towns were burned. And under what agreement were the opponents of Bulgaria then allies of Russia?

Serbs responded to the aggression of the Bulgarians. "Great Bulgaria" - this is the idea - fix, pursuing this country, pushed for war with its neighbors. This infection comes from the genetic memory of the Bulgars, from the Urals to the Ob.

[alatanas]

Have you heard about the "Inscription" by I. Garashanin, written back in 1844? This is precisely the "Great Serb Doctrine." You need to read more history, not someone else's propaganda scriptures.
In your opinion, probably “aggressive” Bulgaria attacked the “Serb brothers” in 1885.

[Incvizitor]

Couldn’t break the flies of lackeys at fu 35, the poor are very, well, as they say, "with a black sheep, even wool tufts" will be bred at least at fu 16.

[Vasyan1971]

Let Fe-35 take on how much money is enough. How much is not enough, they will borrow. This season is the trend!

[Oleg7700]

Allegedly already chosen - Gripen .....

[but still]

Well, as usual - a couple of dozens of colleagues require gratitude from the Bulgarians ... And they bring water to the offended ... :)

[Alex rad]

Bulgarian washers again all the junk on the cheap bought from the owners and again betray Russia, ungrateful .........
