Russia is delaying the implementation of contracts for the repair of MiG-29 fighters, Defense Minister Krassimir Karakachanov said. Bulgaria relies on these aircraft to protect its airspace until the delivery of the American F-16s.
“We have already requested the penalty in one of the contracts, but there is a delay in another of the contracts. Unlike the contract with Belarus for the SU-25. There are no problems with the repair of the SU-25, there are problems with the MiG. -29, the fault lies with the Russian factory. “
The framework agreement for more than BGN 81 million for the repair and maintenance of 15 aircraft was concluded 3 years ago. Karakachanov does not allow the possibility to take place in Poland.
“Only the Poles have a factory where they repair their MiG-29s, but their license is granted only to their equipment. They have no right to repair equipment in Bulgaria or in any other country. So we can buy engines, but we cannot are repairing there. “.
