Why do Bulgarian pilots refuse to fly MiG-29?

289
The Ministry of Defense of Bulgaria declares that the pilots from the personnel of Graf Ignatiev air force base of the country announced their refusal to perform training flights on MiG-29 airplanes. Information is confirmed by an information resource. "Russian Bulgaria".

The article says that all training flights, without exception, are “frozen”, since the flight personnel of the said airbase refuses to take control of the flight. The reason is quite banal. Pilots fear for their lives due to the fact that the fleet of "Bulgarian" MiG-29 fighter jets has not been properly serviced and modernized for a long time. In addition, the pilots actually lack the proper number of flying hours on these military aircraft.



Why do Bulgarian pilots refuse to fly MiG-29?


The deputy head of the Bulgarian military department Atanas Zapryanov is quoted. According to the general, the pilots are insecure due to insufficient flight hours.

Earlier, the commander of the Bulgarian Air Force Tsanko Stoykov accused representatives of the country's leadership that they are “trying to plant the Bulgarian Aviation to the ground".

General Stoykov on the BTV channel:
The scandal associated with the purchase of new fighters and the refusal to maintain existing ones has negative consequences for the motivation of our pilots.


Bulgarian media have noted that “the patrol of Bulgarian airspace continues.” It is not specified at the same time, by whom the patrol is currently carried out.

            Not everything is so simple, by and large, there’s nothing to spit on what and how "little brothers" will fly, there’s no air force in the Baltic states and nobody cares. Bulgarians, Balts, Romanians and others led to the modernization of airspace surveillance systems, like the RAI-Regional Airspace Initiative, and they were safely included in the air defense system of Western Europe. Amers / Westerners only need information from their radars, which you guess who is ready to sell - Lockheed Martin is correct, so everything is simple.
            The idea has already been voiced that the Americans will help the 404th modernize surveillance ...

                  I recall that about 4 years ago, the Bulgarians unilaterally themselves refused a contract with the military-industrial complex of the Russian Federation on preventive maintenance (repair) of Russian aircraft models from Russia - supposedly because of its "high cost" for Bulgaria (although the repair prices in Russia were already at the cost level and even lower) - and stated that military planes from Russia would be repaired by Poles in Poland. That Poland also supposedly "has" the appropriate specialists for their repair and repair of Russian aircraft models in Poland will cost the Bulgarians much cheaper than in Russia itself. But, apparently, this did not grow together with the Poles of the Bulgarians.
                  By the way, our then even objected to this and said that the Poles are unlikely to provide the proper quality of repair of our aircraft from Bulgaria.
                  It was then that military analysts and industrialists already said that the true background of the breakdown of this agreement between the Bulgarians and Russia is not in money, but much worse - the sabotage and political reorientation of the Bulgarian leadership towards NATO dependence with the loss of its national sovereignty from Western countries.

                      Do you seriously believe that repairing American planes is cheaper ?! It can only be cheaper if the seller has included part of the repair of the aircraft in the cost of its sale or has received any political or economic preferences from the buyer country. For example, building a buyer’s own foreign military base, or shutting down any strategic domestic production sector in favor of the seller’s country, refusing to partner with other countries, leasing his national territory for 50 years, etc.

                        I wrote about this in more detail to another place in the post. If interested, find and read. The Swedish offer from Gripennov contains all expenses for training, support, localization, etc., as well as 100% offset in the most important sectors of the Bulgarian economy. The leasing scheme with payment is also the best, as far as I can judge from publications in Bulgaria. Whenever there is competition, the buyer can obtain more favorable conditions for himself. In the case of MiGs, a monopoly is obtained and, accordingly, everything becomes more expensive.

                      We are talking with you about different things, and not just about selling a product.
                      I am talking about preventive maintenance and aircraft modifications. This is usually the privilege of the manufacturer in order not to lower the prestige of the brand of the product and its manufacturer in the relevant global sales market. In addition, otherwise, it involves transferring to the buyer-user along with his purchase by the manufacturer at the same time the manufacturing technology of this product and other technological secrets in the form of know-how to it. Technology is also a product, and a product of strategic importance to the country of origin. And its cost is also high. Hence the leasing.

                The first bombing was carried out in Russia in 1911 on the maneuvers of the St. Petersburg, Warsaw and Kiev military districts.
                But if you go further, the theory of targeted bombing was described in 1908-1910, in Bulgaria.

                  1) Bulgarian aviation in World War II, which here. 2) Voluntary provision of its territory for the actions of the German army. This is already enough. During the invasion, the invaders themselves carry the functions of power in the occupied territory. This is the protection of facilities, and the supply of the population, and the formation of government, and much more. All this time and resources. In this case, the Bulgarians themselves protected, maintained and transported, which, of course, helped the Nazis. We’ll also include police functions in the Balkan territories occupied by the Reich. Bulgaria supplied the Reich with food and raw materials, participated in the transportation and protection of military goods in the Black Sea. 3) One fact is enough that the Bulgarian transport Varna with a load of ammunition was sunk on 20 on August 1943 in the immediate vicinity of Crimea. Do not tell me what he did in the territorial water of the USSR? And what is the result? Did Bulgaria fight or not fight against the USSR in World War II? The answer is closer to me - yes, along with the rest of the Reich, Bulgaria fought against the USSR. As in the First World War. Why do we need this for modern Russians? At least in order to understand the psychology of decision-making at a high level and to know that next time Bulgaria will do the same. PS I stand out the Bulgarian people and their attitude towards the Russians. People usually go in the wake of their government’s policies.

                    As for the Bulgarian Air Force - they fought in their skies and defended their cities and villages. Not a single Bulgarian pilot fought over the territory of the USSR or somewhere else until September 1944.
                    As for the "voluntary provision of the territory" - Serbia and Greece provided them involuntarily with the same result. Bleeding after three wars, Bulgaria tried to avoid the Third National Catastrophe - did not have time. But she put all her efforts.
                    In your fact about the sinking of the transport ship Varna near the Crimea there is no more than a clarification that he was considered German, sailed under the flag of Kriegsmarine and was controlled by a German crew. Small things, and so - Bulgarian transport.
                    What exactly is closer to you as an answer has absolutely no significance. Bulgaria was included in the countries of WWII incendiaries due to the fact that it fought with the USA and Great Britain. And not for the fact that you are closer or not that she fought with the USSR.
                    Unfortunately, judging not only by your comments, but also by other “modern Russians”, you don’t understand / do not want to understand that RI / USSR as an adversary has never been considered. And participation in both wars was due to completely different reasons.

          They can’t get used to it - fourteen years ago Bulgaria said goodbye to the Kozloduy nuclear power station, built by Soviet nuclear scientists. At the insistence of the European Union, four workers and completely safe reactors were shut down, the remaining two will be shut down before 2020. The Russian project of the Burgas-Alexandropolis oil pipeline was closed. A few demonstrations by environmentalists, and it's over. The Bulgarians buried the new Belene nuclear power station. And before its construction, Bulgaria paid one and a half billion leva (750 million euros) to prepare the site for the construction of the plant. Plus, Russia has filed a lawsuit against Bulgaria in an international arbitration court for refusing to build. Well, the fourth reincarnation is the freezing of the South Stream to the detriment of itself. There is an expression that Bulgaria is a cemetery of the Orthodox fraternity, and it is difficult to disagree with this.

                An economy built on non-market principles cannot switch to market without loss. Reference - the loss of the Russian economy during the transition from socialism to capitalism. At sunset, in 1990, Bulgaria had only 300 million dollars. foreign exchange reserves and debt to repay by the end of that year 1 billion billion! The country went bankrupt. With 2007 g. / Entry into the EU / The Bulgarian economy began to revive. Now we have foreign exchange reserves in 27,1 billion dollars, GDP in 50 billion euros / which never happened, even in the "blossoming" times of Todor Zhivkov /. Fifth consecutive year average growth of 3%. In 2016, Bulgaria became one of the three leading EU countries in terms of economic growth. This is all the facts from open sources.

          As for Gripenov, the total value of the offer is about 1,5 billion levs / 750 million euros / for the 16 fighter, which includes support for the entire operation cycle and personnel training. Payment must be made under the leasing scheme for 15 years. The first 5 years of 50 million euros. The offer includes a full 100% offset in the field of defense, communications, energy, healthcare and the automotive industry. In addition, the price of one flight hour for Grippen costs 4000 dollars. , and for comparison, F-16 has 8 thousand. , F-18 - 14-18 thousand. The offer of the Swedes is quite within the power of the Bulgarian budget. hi

              You obviously don’t know ... In Bulgaria, for 20 years, how it works currency board. 2 BGN always = xnumx evra. For each printed 1 lev, 2 real euros in cash cost. Formally, Bulgaria is not included in the eurozone, but in fact the Bulgarian currency is a euro currency sign with a “different” appearance and design. Such an emission policy has both advantages and disadvantages. Under Bulgarian conditions, the currency board is more than useful, since no government, no government has the right to emit a "penny" without currency coverage. To illustrate, I will give such an example - the Bulgarian budget receives, for example, 1 euros of profit and brings them to the BNB. And the BNB has the right to imitate 1000 leva and put them into circulation. The euro is in warranty as security for this 2000 lv. Of course, in reality, everything is more complicated, but I think the example is clear.

                  I agree. I said that currency board has negatives as well. The positive thing is that it does not give politicians the opportunity to print uncontrollably unsecured money on "raising salaries" for populist purposes! By this, inflation remains within a narrow framework and under control! Knowing our politicians, I’m sure that they would immediately take advantage especially before the elections! hi

        From the adversaries to defend themselves? What for? The Bulgarian defends the 5th article of the NATO treaty - just a few sneezed at Bulgaria, then NATO, in the person of the United States, throws a dozen hydrogen bombs there, and the brave gadgets with the Poles rush to the site of the explosion in a pedestrian attack. And if there is something left in the district where you can marauder, then the Romanians with the Turks will catch up. And the Bulgarians will watch it all on TV.

But be so kind as to answer the following question: since Bulgaria has been a NATO member since 2004, in the event of a military confrontation between Russia and the alliance, it will be forced to use its armed forces, and certainly not on the side of Russia. In this case, do you count on mass desertion from the army and mass protests? I think this is unrealistic.
          And as for Serbs, I have no Serb friends yet, I have two in my life, I specialized, you know, in the first (civilian) university on the constitutional law of the Republic of Yugoslavia, they made friends there.

And here is what I will answer - there will be both one and the other and the third, but most ordinary Bulgarians will always be on the side of the truth and the Russians.

      Yes, it seems the article clearly states .... request
      The reason is quite commonplace. Pilots fear for their lives due to the fact that the fleet of “Bulgarian” MiG-29 fighters has not been properly serviced for a long time and has not been modernized. In addition, the pilots actually lack the proper number of flying hours on these military aircraft.

      Negotiations on the supply of MiG-29 begin in 87, and deliveries begin 88-year. First, they supply 4 (product 9-12А) at the price of a single copy of 11 600 000 transferable rubles and 2 couples (product 9-12А) at 12 300 000 Of the originally agreed 24 fighter, 18 are delivered due to an increased intertemporal price. Almost all MiGs currently have extremely small residual resources. The debate over their modernization, which has continued for 10 years, rests against the lack of money and the high cost of operating this model. All the same, the Bulgarian MiG-29 from the first series and special complaints are caused by high fuel consumption, and the equipment that has become obsolete morally and physically. In view of the absence of spare parts, there is a risk from an accident. Therefore, Bulgarian pilots refuse to fly on the MiGs. There is another point ... Since for a very long time everyone has been waiting for a political decision to upgrade the air fleet of the Bulgarian Air Force, the pilots decided to "push" the politicians like that! And already there is a principle decision on purchases of the newest version of Swedish Grippen. It is ideal for a country with mountainous terrain like Bulgaria. Moreover, in terms of price, operational and technical parameters, it really surpasses all competitive offers!

        Bulgarian pilots are right - these are already flying coffins. It’s better to write them off and sell them for spare parts, so far they can even go to taxiing. Repair already does not make sense. The Russian Federation must be offered at a residual price, in offset of the debt for arbitration for Belene. Maybe they will ... Or for those 8 German radars that in 1941 worked against the USSR from the Bulgarian coast.

I sincerely regret it, but ... again, we ... Then the German Empire! Allies in the vehicle! WWII and the end ... German Reich! No comment ... There is no ego, and here we are. THE USSR! We were his own faithful ally! He lasted a long time ... It's hard to believe, but he collapsed because of us ... By the end of the 90, we became allies with the United States. And they, right away, it went badly, and it has been worse since time ... And so, as soon as we entered the EU, and HE started pounding ... Guess who is to blame? Who else if not us? I am tormented by vague doubts about the fate of the United States, NATO and the EU! I suspect that if they themselves do not run away from us in time, they will end badly ... laughing

    The leadership of the little brothers chose the European Union and NATO, and we must not forget that the Bulgarians fought under Hitler against the USSR .... at one time. While in Europe, including Bulgaria, I peered painfully at the graves of our Russian soldiers who gave their lives for the independence of this country. Pleven, Shipka who does not know these blood-soaked places and their Russian heroes who defended Bulgaria from Ottoman rule. Lord, how many Russian graves are in Europe !!! ???? The weak historical memory of the newly-arrived Bulgarian elites, who, like Hitler, follow the instructions of their masters from across the ocean, betraying and selling our bonds held together in centuries of blood. Having betrayed Russia more than once, it would be blasphemy to wish this country so that God forbid these bros sow death on our land on our Mig-29 planes and do not flatter ourselves that the Bulgarian pilots would not fulfill the order to fly against Russia if he will do it. So maybe this divine punishment for such an anti-Russian policy is better to sit on the ground and think with your head, and not ....., but not fly in the clouds of Russophobia. It is better to be friends with Russia, as the Serbs do, they have the very new Mig-29, and not the junk that the Poles supposedly modernized or repaired. I understand the pilots, they can’t fly in an ice-hole and it’s scary to fly. And what, nobody thought about it, spit on Russia ???

        Frontex EU Border Security Agency officers will take part in guarding Bulgarian borders against illegal migrants. This was stated by Vice Prime Minister and Interior Minister Rumyana Bychvarova.

        “We expect that 200 Frontex officers with the necessary equipment and service dogs will arrive in Bulgaria in the near future,” RIA Novosti quoted Bychvarova as saying.

        She also noted that Bulgaria sent an official request to the European Commission for the allocation of an additional € 160 million to protect the borders of the state. These funds will be spent on the purchase of technical equipment, the development of a video monitoring system and operational costs.

        “Our Bulgarian-Turkish border is so complex that it is practically impossible to provide its physical protection and surveillance at the moment. Therefore, today our main efforts are focused on controlling the extended perimeter in the border area and in populated areas, including in Sofia, where we regularly detain illegal migrants, ”said the Deputy Prime Minister.

            Well, let's add, since you are so restless.
            Polish border guards started working on the Bulgarian-Turkish border

            08:53 23.10.2017 Bulgaria
            On October 19, during the operation GDBOP (Main Directorate "Combating Organized Crime") and the National Security Agency (DANS) at the Malko Tarnovo crossing point, under various pretexts, they collected three shifts of customs officers working here and detained them until clarification.
            This was reported by Nova TV, citing a statement by the press secretary of the chief prosecutor of Bulgaria Rumyana Arnaudova, reports Вourgas.ru.
            We are talking about the corruption of the Bulgarian customs and extortion towards drivers of vehicles that cross the Bulgarian-Turkish border here.
            As it became known, the employees of the Bulgarian special services searched the workplaces and places of residence of customs officers at the Malko Tarnovo checkpoint.
            The Bulgarian Criminal Code for such crimes provides for a sentence of up to 6 years.
            The checkpoint was blocked for seven hours, which resulted in a multi-kilometer queue, writes Russian Bulgaria.
            After the end of the rally, the officers of the Polish Border Police intervened, the BNT television channel reported.

              Once you are so restless I will explain! Your info is based on a mistake made by the BNT correspondent! We are talking about the detention of 20 CUSTOMS, all day and night shift customs in Malo Tarnovo, on suspicion of corruption / bribes /! On the morning of the next day, they were all set free. No Poles from Frontex did not replace them! From the word at all! Employees in Frontex UTB border guards! Frontex has nothing to do with the case. A mistake was made in the messages from the BNT, as the correspondent was not in the place of events and mixed up the concepts of “border guards” with “customs officers”! Subsequently, the BNT reports on its mistake.

              Initially Information per share, distributed from the BNT, says that you have to work on the point of singing from the side of Polsh, the co-worker in the country through the European border agency for frontier and coast guard - Frontex. The trace of the camp on Arnaudov’s camp is known to me as the wife of the arrest of the borderlands, and the mitts.

              You are quoting the site “Russian Bulgaria”. I read it often. But it is based almost 100% on other primary sources. BNT is a serious media, but sometimes it also makes blunders.

              The usual action, which is carried out very often by the Bulgarian special services among the customs! I do not remember eta the third or fourth was in a year. Indeed, these are areas with increased corruption risk.
              And here is your comment: Berkut24 "At first, the" allies "removed the Bulgarian customs officers, replacing them with their own, now they are patrolling the sky for them. These are they, freedom and independence under" democracy. "

      The external borders of the EU along the path of the movement of migrants are protected on a rotational basis. The reason for this decision lies not in the degradation of the state and society, but in the idea of ​​accumulating the experience of border guards in protecting the real border under the conditions of a migrant wave in those EU countries for which there is no such border due to geography.

    Oh! There is no comrade Stalin on you. He would have put you all on the "counter" ..... He wouldn’t buy airplanes, Sunny Beach has been repaid for debts

    1. What are the "records" of GDP and do not tell me any nonsense? In the first, in 1988, the GDP hit about 40 billion leva, and now they say that there will be 100 billion leva. The ratio of leva then and now in terms of real purchasing power is at least 5 to 1 in other words, from 1 lev 1988 you can buy more than 5 levs in 2017 or 40 billion GDP in 1988, which is more than 200 billion today's levs.
    In the second, where do your 50 billion euros go if 100 billion leva and nothing remains for the army and aviation? Remember which army beat 1988 and which now? Or maybe a bit of youth do not know?
    2. Comrade Kane, do not scare us with Comrade Stalin. During the time of Comrade Stalin, the Bulgarian army was the strongest and the aviation was the most powerful in the entire history of Bulgaria, and the economy grew at the fastest pace and prices decreased. So, from a friend of Stalin and the USSR, our NRB had an excellent relationship.

Now the policy of Bulgaria is aimed at good neighborliness and cooperation with all countries on the Balkans. Our relations are the best with neighbors in history since 1878. Thanks to this, we managed to save money on other sectors of the economy. Of course, under capitalism, it steals ... Vesda it is. And in Russia too! It is impossible to close our eyes and on threats. For this, we must gradually restore the army. The resumption of discussions on updating the fleet is a step in that direction! And Stalin ... You obviously did not understand that he had long died.

    but everyone should suddenly be ... still pay the "debts" of the USSR.
    It seems that all the friendship of peoples was based on principles: we fraternally have a military plane and rocket, oil, gas and gasoline at an internal price in the USSR of 4 kopeks per liter .... and in response to us a wagon of apricots at the price of gold bars.
    Or chemical equipment from the GDR at times inferior to the best Japanese models ... but at a price almost equal to Japanese. Brothers!

      Exchange rates and, in general, the principle of evaluating the trade turnover between the CMEA countries, was determined by the older brother. Fact. As for the prices for the supply of military equipment, I recall one such episode! The 80 MiG-4R was based at the 25-tychna aerodrome in the town of Tolbuhin / northwestern Bulgaria /. They were the property of the Bulgarian Air Force. During the VET, someone forgot the rubber hose on the strip. When starting the engines in the parking lot, the hose was sucked into the turbine and the engine was damaged "incompatible with life." New engines from the USSR put on the price 2 500 000 of the left. Lada Kopeyka stood in Bulgaria at that time 6000 lv. The average salary was somewhere 160-180 BGN. Convinced of the guilty aircraft engineer went to suicide ... So, you obviously do not know what you are writing. wink

    I didn’t understand anything from your opus - in the elderberry garden, and in Kiev, uncle. Salary 160-180 lv? So what? In the USSR, an engineer received 120 rubles. And what is this talking about? About nothing. Blah - blah!
    Was a new airplane engine expensive? So the plane at that time was new in Russia, I think it cost no less.
    So I wrote that the Union delivered you everything at domestic prices. What is not true?
    Guilty Technician Suicide? So with us he would go to jail for such negligence. And under Stalin, such a pest would have been shot at all.
    Lada was expensive? So in the USSR, it cost 5500 rubles. Almost the same as yours. Also - delivery at an internal price in the USSR.
    You yourself do not know what you are writing. All blah - blah!
    And about chemical equipment: In Novgorod, the Japanese set up a huge new ammonia production workshop and proposed building a small argon production workshop nearby - the total price will only increase slightly. Ours refused and placed an order for the argon workshop in the GDR.
    As a result, the productivity of the German workshop was several times less, the equipment was unreliable, the automation was less ... but the price corresponded to the Japanese workshop. In addition, the Germans constantly frustrated all the launch dates ... If it were the Japanese, they would pay a forfeit. And with fraternal GDR - bribes are smooth ... fraternities, understand! I know what I'm writing.

      Well, we at "internal prices" kept the enemy farther from your borders! What is incomprehensible here? Mutually beneficial economic cooperation on non-market principles and the distribution of sectors for general defense. Bulgaria firmly held the defense on its site, removing the load from the SA. As for examples from chemical equipping, you obviously do not know anything about similar cases in other CMEA countries. In Bulgaria, the development of domestic aircraft industry was stopped, and in the automotive industry they closed extremely profitable cooperation with Renault, in the crawl of AZLK / Muscovites /. In fact, there are many such examples.

    Children and grandchildren would pay damage to the state - to the last cent. There are such precedents!

They still remember. Across Thrace, we collected abandoned Turkish banners. We gave the Germans the teeth at the end of WWII. The ratio of losses 2 / 1 in our crawl / 32 thousand killed and wounded Bulgarian soldiers against 78-82 thousand German /. A good result, as if not to look at it! And their collection was replenished with German banners. With the Italians did not meet., Although they walked along the Western Bocans a little. We had problems with the Russians in WWI, when they, due to a clear mistake, came to help our enemies. As a result, several Russian banners ended up in Bulgarian museums. We keep in storage, so as not to offend the brothers. The British and French / their captive banners also filled our museums / got so good that even after signing the Noi Treaty, they handed down hats to General Vazov and gave him "for honor". He is the brother of the great Bulgarian poet and classic Ivan Vazov, who wrote the best poetry of gratitude to Russia, which every Bulgarian now knows. Here is a situation ... bully

                        Against the Bulgarian army, the Turks concentrated 80% of their army. The whole of Bulgaria in the union is about 50%. The main theater of operations in the PBB was Thrace. We reached 37 km. from Constantinople. And Bulgaria attacked the "first" on the former allies, because they entered into a criminal conspiracy and in violation of the union treaty occupied Macedonia. All military operations were conducted in the territory where the Bulgarian population was the majority. These territories were part of Bulgaria under the San Stefan Treaty between the Ottoman and Russian empires from 1878.

                        Who argues with this? And as a fact, it "contradicts" the fact that 360 soldiers and officers of the BGA were awarded Soviet orders, 120 thousand - the medal "For the victory over Germany in the Second World War" by the Commander-in-Chief of the 1-BGA, Gen. V. Stoychev took part in the Victory Parade on Red Square. Yes, take an interest in how many times in Moscow they saluted the BGA problems against the Wehrmacht! Surprise probably!

                        You demonstrate amazing exclusivity of perceptions! "Yours are always right!" Typical mentality. Russia fought on the side of the worst enemies of the Slavs - the Anglo-Saxons. As a result of this war, their main rivals, Germany and Russia, were destructed for a long time. As for our participation, after the occupation of Serbia in Macedonia, where half of my relatives now live, there was no choice for us! You would not leave a third of your people under someone else's slavery, right? It is true that our dynasty was then German, but our people were in Macedonia! We are fighting the Serbs of the 12 century! Somehow I can’t imagine that someone could force the Bulgarians to fight for the Serbs, a year later after they occupied Macedonia, suppressed several uprisings of the local Bulgarian population and drove out tens of thousands of our sonarodniks from their homes.
                        Only now the Neuilly Peace Treaty was not the most successful for you. And I did not speak about victories IN BATTLES, but about victories IN WARS.

At that time, it was already signed by Germany, Hungary, Romania, Slovakia and Bulgaria, dependent on Germany. Fearing open aggression by Germany in the event of refusal of accession, the Yugoslav leadership was looking for possible ways to “move away” from the proposed pact, but after long attempts to maneuver and look for other ways, Yugoslavia signed a protocol on accession to the pact on March 25, 1941.

    RAI -Regional Airspace Initiative, and they were successfully included in the air defense system of Western Europe. The Americans/Westerners only need information from their radars, which guess who is ready to sell - that’s right Lockheed Martin, so everything is simple.

    What does "sell" mean? Bulgaria will buy them or something.

      The lure is simple: for the development of the system, the Americans donate equipment worth ~10 lams: this is a dozen workstations along with a server and software. They themselves must connect the radars and ensure data transmission to regional centers and beyond. Everyone has old radars, good guys will offer new ones. At one time, Romanians were promoted to 80 Lyams, Estonians and Latvians were so far promoted to 14, well, the story is not over yet. No one will give anything for free, no matter what, and no one has canceled financial interests.
      By and large, a buffer is being created, a kind of early warning system for the air defense of Western Europe: there is no signal, then wait. To put it simply, something like this

      On topic, recent news Lithuania will spend 110 million euros for the Norwegian medium-range air defense systems. Do they really need it that much?

        They are screaming about possible Russian aggression. Of course, Russian electronic warfare systems will crush them in the event of a conflict, but with these air defense systems they are probably safer. Now they apparently have no air defense.

    Oh, right, replaced? Ohhh !!!

    On the border with Turkey, the Poles were appointed for the elders. It's a shame.

    On the border of Armenia with Turkey, the Russians were put in charge. Shame too?

    Bulgarians. Romanians and Moldavians almost always "slightly under the hood" acquaintances from these nations always emphasized that they have been drinking wine since childhood and simply instead of water

      Any whim for their money, even conversion to the SMT model. You can also sell the MiG-35, with the index "E".
