The Bulgarian authorities approved the supply of “faulty MANPADS”

The Bulgarian authorities approved the supply of “faulty MANPADS” and other anti-aircraft missiles of various types to the Kyiv regime. Earlier in the fall, a bill was introduced into the country’s parliament on the transfer of non-operating S-300 systems to the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

In total, the Bulgarians have S-300 launchers, as well as Osa-AKM, obsolete Kub and S-200 launchers. However, now Ukrainian formations are experiencing a shortage of ammunition for Soviet air defense systems, so they will willingly accept even old missiles.

📌 The authorities in Sofia also promised to help Ukraine train flight personnel for the F-16. The country's air force does not yet have aircraft of this type in service (they were only ordered last year), so most likely we are talking about providing airspace with infrastructure for training.

It is curious that Bulgaria also intends to train up to four Ukrainian companies with a total number of 160 people per year. Such a meager number can only be explained by the desire of the Bulgarians to report “for show”, avoiding greater participation in the direct training of Armed Forces personnel.
