Poland to fix Bulgarian MIG-29

Polish, instead of Russian specialists will repair Bulgarian MIG-29 jet fighter aircraft, Polish Radio reported. “Due to high price, Bulgaria will turn to Poland on this matter,” The Defense Minister of Bulgaria Nikolai Nenchev said. According to Nenchev, Bulgaria and Poland have been in talks and the agreement is to come into force in September when the deal with Russia expiries. As many as six planes are to be fixed by some Polish company. “Poland has got capabilities and it guarantees good conditions for this kind of procedure. Another argument for [changing the partner] is that Poland is a NATO member,” minister Nenchev said. It has not been revealed what company will be the executor of the project.
