Bulgaria "to meet NATO standards" will replace the MiG-29 with "used" aircraft of Western manufacturers

Information Service RNS reports that the Bulgarian authorities approved the deal for the purchase of used aircraft in the West, which should replace the MiG-29, acquired in due time from the Soviet Union. The speaker of the Bulgarian parliament, Tsetska Tsacheva, announced that the country's defense ministry would purchase from the North Atlantic alliance countries before 9 second-hand fighters for a total amount of approximately 860 million dollars.

The idea to buy used planes from NATO partners was supported by the majority of Bulgarian legislators - the 123 man, with 29 opposed and the 4s who abstained.

It should be noted that the Bulgarians are preparing to purchase two warships for a total of about 470 million dollars. Official Sofia intends to make such a purchase through 5 years - in 2021 year.

At the same time, it is not reported yet about which particular ships and airplanes in question. According to one of the versions, the Bulgarian Defense Ministry intends to acquire used American F-16 or European Eurofighter fighters.

In NATO, Bulgaria is constantly blamed for the fact that its military spending does not reach the 2% of GDP required by the military bloc. On this occasion, the Bulgarian authorities have been puzzled over the past few years trying to please NATO partners. Apparently, the partners suggested how to do it - buy airplanes that are being prepared for decommissioning in the United States, Britain or Germany.

It’s not a matter of aviation, everything is written right there:

NATO constantly reproaches Bulgaria for the fact that its military spending does not reach the 2% of GDP required by the military bloc. On this occasion, the Bulgarian authorities have been racking their brains over the past few years, trying to please their NATO partners.

They can even buy condoms with this money .............. only if they are American

[Darkmor]

Well, this is a targeted loan - as if the Bulgarians were choosing something ...
In fact, this news should be read like this:
The NATO bloc lobbied for the shipment of its worn-out planes to Bulgaria, for which the Bulgarians will joyfully pay the cost of purchasing new planes in the same amount for Germany and the UK.
And everyone is happy.

You know, sellers of all crap go to apartments?
Like "buy our super knives, now with a 100% discount, just today!"
The EU and the United States within the NATO bloc act approximately the same, with one difference.
Not one seller comes to you, but 40 at the same time. And they tell you:
"Are you European, how are all your neighbors? So they already bought our knives for self-defense"
"Can't buy, because there is no money? We will give you money - especially so that you give it to us for knives" "but only the knives will be LUCKY, since you are so poor - and you will return the money to us with interest, paying each loan month"
And they stand, forty snouts look at you, and play with knives.
Mafia? No, the European family! Pay for family ties. You can’t pay right away - pay monthly. You can’t pay monthly - your children will pay, it doesn’t matter! The main thing is to buy our crap, otherwise we will be offended!

And finally, boys, it may be worth filtering the market, huh? I’m not to say that I’m terrible myself, but to the fact that the Bulgarians don’t need to turn away from themselves. We are already 15 centuries old, as everyone does not like. And we are. They’ll still come, we’ll still survive, and we’ll even get fluffy. Why do you need a lomat tale about friendship between Bulgarians and Russians? I don’t need anything.
Governments - they are like a commercial break - are long and annoying. But it ends. And blood - it is blood. The essence of fraternity.

[Astor]

The way it is! The gangster government (Chief Minister B. Borisov himself, a former security guard from the 90s) has already accumulated debts of 8 billion euros, it is not known for what, and for this rubbish they will take another billion. Of course, there will be a pullback, which is higher than the "usual" 10%. Sooner or later these bandits will run away somewhere to the west, and we will pay off. By the way, not everyone will be able to escape, the mafia's pension scheme provides for a transfer to the other world.

The US is so cleverly supporting the defense industry. They say that it is necessary that every NATO member country spends at least 2% of GDP. It is naturally impossible to buy weapons from Russia and China. Only Western countries remain, cheap fighter aircraft in the West are produced only by 2 US countries F-16 and Sweden Grippen. Most likely the US is lobbying its manufacturers.
Along the way, ousting Russia and China from the arms market.

No, not a typo. For this money, they will also provide spare parts that will be needed the day after the solemn transfer, train pilots, and deliver airfield equipment that does not coincide with MIGovsky. Well, podshamanit a little before the sale.
And what questions? Participation in the club of the richest countries can not be cheap.

[Maxom75]

Them? There is nothing, with such a rate of outflow of the population, Bulgaria in a couple of ten years will be approximately comparable in population with the Volgograd region, and this is about 2 miles. person. Such a population size, in principle, will make it impossible to defend the country on its own. And considering that there is a "Bosphorus" (Erdogan) nearby with his new Ottoman imperial ideology, it puts the very existence of Bulgaria into question. The American habit of throwing its allies, in my opinion, is no longer in doubt by anyone. Only the crazy leaders of Ukraine and Georgia still harbor illusions that the Americans will fight for them. The rest already understand that nothing like this will happen. The presence of air junk made according to NATO standards will not change this trend in any way. In short, it's time for Bulgaria to learn Turkish.

For that kind of money, it seems that the Bulgarians opened a scrap metal collection point.

[pytar]

A little clarification on this novelty directly from the source from Bulgaria:
Now the Bulgarian Air Force includes 19 - MiG-29. Of these, 15 with modernization measures taken to extend the resource to 2028-2030. Soon, the rest of the 4 MiG will be continued. All MiGs will remain in service until the end of the specified period. In two stages, it is foreseen to purchase another 16 aircraft. 8 until 2018-2020 and another 8 to 2022-2023 g. Their final cost will be clear after receiving specific price tags from the requested countries. Bulgarian media reports indicate that Bulgaria will choose from the new MiG-29M / M2, used from Portugal F-16 MLU or from the USA F-16 block 25. It does not turn out that another proposal will be accepted and some other, if it proves to be more profitable from the point of view of the economy. The amount of the proposed contract includes the purchase of ground facilities, training and more.
Toest in question is not about replacing the Soviet MiG-29, but about the ego addition with another airplane. By the end of this period, Bulgaria intends to have at least 35 fighters capable of fighting.
As for the purchases of patrol ships, two options are examined. There is a proposal from the side of the Dutch company, as well as the use for the construction of ships of Bulgarian shipyards. Bulgaria intends to acquire two new multifunctional ships of a modular type.

Do not forget the Mig-29, which are being repaired in Poland.

[Talgat]

Neither Bulgarians, nor Serbs, nor Greeks will be allies for Russia because of their geopolitical location. Probably many have heard the names of Mac Kinder Mahen, and so on and about such a science as geopolitics. The best is considered to be English and Amerian - because they made it real science and put it into practice

I apologize for the repetition - but still: There is Europe - but there is Eurasia and there is China - and the confrontation

And the desire of every world civilization to consolidate is to unite. And vice versa - to divide - to defeat the enemy

So after the death of our homeland of the USSR - Eurasia was divided. Europe, on the contrary, is consolidating in NATO and the EEC

Orthodoxy unites Bulgarians with Russians - but still this is not enough - "geography is a sentence" either Bismarck or Napoleon

The allies of the Russians were and will not be Greeks and Bulgarians - but Tatars with Yakuts, Mongols with Tuvans, and we, Kazakhs. etc . In fact, all those peoples who have stood together against Europe for thousands of years under Atilla and Nevsky - who actually make up Eurasia - are the union of the Slavs and the great steppe

[Berkut24]

Yes, they are brothers, brothers. As you know, each family has its own. And when the brothers behave like that, then it just feels more painful. If dates bought this stuff, we would not even react to such news.
You just need to accept that not all brothers will live to see the victory of Russia. It's all according to Putin: if someone wants to drown, then the rescuer is powerless. I think Russia is already tired of saving everyone. We must survive and win ourselves, and then we'll see who is left. In general, "European civilization" is simply programmed for suicide. Not only Bulgaria. It must end sometime. There is no need to interfere with the natural historical process.

Here, probably, there are not enough MIGs at all, so they are trying to avoid conflicts.))

Those pilots are already retired. The former pilots of the National People’s Army of the GDR, as well as several pilots of the Bundeswehr, began to fly on the MiG-29 in Germany. Studies conducted in Germany showed that German pilots on the MiG-29 successfully conducted training air battles with aircraft of NATO countries. The squadron commander Manfred Mengue, who flew 1994 hours by 3300, of which 1000 hours on the F-I04 and 1800 on the F-4 Phantom II: “This is the best fighter I took to the air.” He knows everything. Easy to manage, unpretentious to maintain. MiG-29 has excellent rocket-cannon armament. But the aiming system is rather weak, and we replaced some of the avionics for better interfacing with the ground radio equipment of western airfields.

MiG-29 is a very reliable car. Never technology did not let the pilots in the air. Technicians from the former army of the German Democratic Republic have high professional training, and those who have retrained from other parts of the Bundeswehr have no difficulty in preparing a fighter for flying. ”In 2003, the Luftwaffe ranged 13 MiG-29. The experience gained by this company came in handy already in 1999, when Poland and Hungary were admitted to the North Atlantic military bloc as part of NATO's eastward expansion. At the same time, one of the most important requirements of NATO is the integration of weapons, including the Air Force. The taxpayers of these countries had a choice either to spend a lot of money and purchase overseas equipment, or to modernize Soviet one.

[The stranger]

No, of course, everything is simpler.
After the 90s, they simply destroyed our army, fearing it. Dumb - not dumb, but there they read history enough to not trust us in principle. They knew that they would drive us into NATO, and even more so did not trust. It would seem - the stronger the ally - the better for you, no? So no - they carefully destroyed both the army and any potential mobilization resource. Including - intellectual and emotional. In their understanding, we are forever the Trojan horse of Russia, even if we were all already burned in the Buchenwald furnaces. Or there guantanamo, no difference. For someone will rise, being accidentally forgotten in a hurry, and will again become friends with the Russians.
What exactly is up to the Migs - so at first you also ruined them. Then they became outdated, especially since we never got really good rockets for them. In this sense, the best aircraft that we once had were five Mig-23s of the Afghan modification, with BC, which you handed over to us in exchange for the four remaining Mig-25Ps. Their crews also cried when the planes flew away, amused only by the fact that they went home. Then they washed down on black.
Then they broke Migov-23, also without bothering with explanations. Like outdated, and there were no questions, because at least some planes were still there. Although they still had an almost endless resource. For that, they knew how to shoot down f-16s, and it turned out to be outdated. They were replaced by the Mig-21, and so we came to be the first, and probably the only state in the world that replaced Kalash with muskets. Like a more formidable weapon.
Then even you stopped trolling our Mig-29s - you haven’t been a weapon for a long time. A dagger is a beautiful thing, but not an infantry weapon. But they did not forget, they have plans to finish them off. And God forbid! Bulgarians - they are a wild tribe, and not their own. You never know what they will do to them.
Here is such a "non-standard NATO". Better to have an F-16. Disconnected the SIM card - the airplane fell.
To the question "who will then fight the Russians, since you are afraid, but I am not" - the answer is silence.

Yes, still here. In Grippen, there would be at least some sense. Well, according to the performance characteristics, the main thing is the operation, it’s really interesting there. But here they crushed him in the bud. What will happen - no difference, still against yours without a piano. Meet - do not shoot down. They probably came to you at a rendezvous point for a common task.

It is worth mentioning that used aircraft are not good. These are usually devices with a half-exhausted glider resource, with old avionics and electronics (which naturally affects the combat effectiveness of the application in modern realities) and an engine with obviously not new resources, but already used (engines are very expensive in% of the total cost aircraft).
If, for example, buy an F-16 "ushatany" for half the price and estimate how much it will cost in the near future to upgrade the engine, chassis, avionics and electronics. Cheaper may even buy a new plane will be released.

F-16s are too old. Bulgarians still think what to buy. In addition to the F-16, they are offered on lease the new Eurofighter and Gripen E.

And recently the Bulgarian government has been assiduously confirming this. Now only "leftovers", alas.

Bulgaria received the first MiG-29 fighters in 1989. Now their age ranges from 20 to 27 years. Why raise a wave? At this age, the fighter, renewing the life of the glider every year must be done. What about the engines? They also need to buy. Plus we are a likely adversary for them.

Now they would have a rich country, they wouldn’t give it. They would grow peppers with tomatoes, they would have cheap gas. A little later they would make the F-35 buy and then complete the economy. This is the case with everyone who wants a jet and a bright European future .

where any NATO partner with such an application will shove the equipment that in fact and in appearance should only take off leaving behind the best, and there will still be a question about age.

By joining NATO, Bulgaria itself determined its fate.

Bulgaria "to comply with NATO standards" will replace the MiG-29 with "used" aircraft of Western manufacturers.

The word is retained, you can safely replace it with not yet reclaimed. The disposal site for the decommissioned equipment has been determined. In NATO, these are junior squire partners, which is a pity to throw out to the owner and sells to servants.

[LÄRZ]

Quote: Arkan

that the owner is sorry to throw, sells to servants.

Why should it be lost? I flew myself, let another. An interesting picture turns out: "to comply with NATO standards" the planes of the satellites must be used, right?

[97110]

Already 2 hours as the publication has passed, and the Bulgarian conferences are silent. Has it gotten sick yourself? So let’s continue about "not to confuse the Bulgarian people with the government."

[The stranger]

And what to say? If without a mat, then there’s nothing to say.
Upload portraits of our "politicians" - you won't believe it at all, there is no such thing even in Country 404.
Lord, when will it all end ...

[wagner72]

I’m wondering where this Tsatska will take the money for scrap metal? Bulgaria is barely making ends meet, most likely they will beg for the ECB.

[Waroc]

And it’s a pity to sell normal ships to all sorts of little things — we ourselves need to, and they’re still normal - they’re still swimming ... after 5 years they will grow old to the state of complete scrap metal, then they will sell scrap metal to fools at the price of new ships !!!

[K-50]

The speaker of the Bulgarian parliament, Tsetsk Tsacheva, announced that the country's defense ministry will purchase up to 9 used fighters from the countries of the North Atlantic Alliance for a total of approximately $ 860 million.

Lope, lope?
Yes, with that kind of money, they could also get novies from Russia and still have the change left!

[Stinger]

Why waste time on trifles? Buy a decommissioned aircraft carrier and close the issue with both the fleet and aviation forever. And swim in shit. Forward "brothers"! That's what NATO is for.

[masiya]

"Brothers", as always, gave the heat - the fact that they are racing to the amers in the ass is nothing surprising, only sorry for the life of our soldiers sincerely going to death for the release of these figures from the Turks, and the Fritzes, although in WW2 they were on the side of the 3rd In recent years, these Bulgarian deputies have done a lot of shit, right, as if they were smeared with honey in hell, for their tricks in the country.

[RedBaron]

This contract includes maintenance and repairs for the entire period of operation, this time, a NATO member country cannot possibly have weapons of a potential adversary, in which case who will supply spare parts? And now this "loan" will eventually be written off as And the Russian Federation $ 14 billion Syria

[andrewkor]

The German pilot who flew on the GDR MiG-29 cried when he drove them to Poland for an exchange.

[scaramaks27]

I didn’t read the comments as soon as I read the name, letter ... change the letter of the TOTAL one in the name !!!!

[kaban7]

How "correct" is the NATO bloc treating its partners - it makes them buy leftovers ...

[Enoch]

There is no silver lining - tapery clearly fuck brother. Nothing good in their pamidors.

Well, it’s you for nothing, they had a good night.
Well, now why, the Phantoms will drive them to the sixty shaggy year of release, if they find of course, no one will ask them. They will now be in Oyrop instead of Indians. And they’ll go to shed blood for the striped ones, that's just where, really again on us, oh yes bros. Yes, with such brothers and enemies is not necessary.

[podgornovea]

Bulgaria "to meet NATO standards" will replace the MiG-29 with "used" aircraft of Western manufacturers

A moment like "in oil", do I understand correctly how this news is presented?
Well, ask them where they’ll throw them out, and put a post there so as not to miss!
Take back (without even taking it out of the package) and deal with the end.

Or maybe they are in such a state as Ukrainian?
Somehow an article about paga (nd) naya.

PS nothing personal

[Pitot]

It's not that they are changing MiGs. And in the fact that again Bulgaria got into an alliance that is directed against Russia. Then again they will cry .....

[The stranger]

Cry Again?
Please remind us when we did this last time.
Anti-Russian unions disintegrated not without our help.
Filter the market, okay?

I agree that you can’t say anything about Bulgarian politicians without swearing. And it will end when we finish them off. You can't do it with just swearing.

[Zaurbek]

Why do the Bulgarians need fighters at all? The maximum is to buy Czech L-159 or Yak-130 (or Western analogues) for airspace control, adapt them to air defense tasks as far as possible and let them fly. Operation is cheap, pilots can be trained and maintained in flying condition (so that there is a NATO reserve).

[Zheka40]

What could you expect from goats?

[Putnik_16]

And why, for that matter, Bulgaria has an army and aircraft, after all, it has no one to fight

and not why ...

[Goldsberg]

Not only will the United States save money on disposing of its old F-16s and floating vessels, but it will also extract a lot of dough from the Bulgarians, so sorry for the Bulgarians... they are still suffering
