Bulgaria will receive the most advanced F-16 fighter jet at the best possible price, US Ambassador to Sofia Eric Rubin said. I think the price is reasonable. I understand that it is a high price, but we will be supporting the needs of Bulgaria in the realities it is in. I assure you that when the deal is completed you will have the most advanced combat aircraft. This will improve both the security of Bulgaria and NATO and thus Bulgaria would become a strategic partner. Take a look at the whole package and you will understand that the US commitment is to support the Bulgarian army and aviation, Rubin added.
