This project for the purchase of the F-16 is entirely based on a project by Rumen Radev from 2015.

It seems that now everything is focused on the fighters, which prevents us from looking at other problems of the army.

Everything on the topic:

The Russian invasion of Ukraine 3994

This is what the former Minister of Defense Todor Tagarev said in the program "Offensive" on NOVA NEWS

Todor Tagarev is Minister of Defense from March 12 to May 29, 2013. Tagarev was born on April 18, 1960. "The assessment was prepared at our request by the caretaker government, the team was appointed by President Radev. I am surprised that there are four two-seater planes from the new eight, they will also be used for training, "he added.

"The amount of the new F-16s should not surprise us. The price is not determined by political principles. It depends on what the package itself includes. The principles of the purchase are not determined by certain behavior of our country," said the former military minister.

According to him, we can go for second-hand planes at a relatively low price, as Romania has done.

"The training of pilots is difficult, our pilots have already been sent to the United States, some of them will become instructors," Tagarev said.

Resolved: We provide free helmets and body armor for Ukraine

As for the war in Ukraine, for him a victory for Russia will not only be a loss for Ukraine, but also for all humanity and democratic society.

"Providing only helmets and bulletproof vests on our part seems frivolous, but this is again a decision of President Radev," said Todor Tagarev.

Todor Tagarev was Minister of Defense from March 12 to May 29, 2013. Tagarev was born on April 18, 1960. "There is no such thing as neutrality in this situation," he said.
