The bill on the ratification of an international agreement on the acquisition of another eight F-16C/D Block 70 fighter aircraft, ammunition, training and maintenance equipment is to be discussed in parliament today.
A few days ago the manufacturer Lockheed Martin announced that the first F-16 Block 70 fighter jets Bulgaria has commissioned and paid for are already in production. The contract for the purchase of a second batch of eight F-16s has already been approved by the caretaker government.
