The Director General of the Russian Aircraft Building Corp RSK MiG Ilya Tarasenko has said that at the end of last year Bulgaria signed a contract with RSK MiG for the repair of its MiG fighter jets. Earlier, in late 2015, the Bulgarian parliament ratified an agreement with Poland for the repair and maintenance of MiG-29 fighter jets. Despite the protests of RSK MiG the Polish side carried out repair works for six MiG-29 engines at the cost of more than 6 million euro. Last November Bulgaria’s Military Prosecutor’s Office indicted Defense Minister Nikolay Nenchev of preventing the signature of a contract for repair of Bulgarian MiG-29 with RSK MiG. In data from the Prosecutor’s Office Nenchev kept the contracts with RSK MiG in his safe and did not do anything about them.
