Bulgaria to build F-16s

Pratt & Whitney, the company behind the manufacturing, has been operating in Poland for around 30 years and as of 2002 has invested over $220 (zł.665) million in its plant in Rzeszów, creating 6,700 jobs. The Pratt & Whitney plant in Connecticut and the Rzeszów factory are the only producers of F-16 engines in the world, and Bulgaria claims that capacity cannot meet demand.
