The team is to carry out the so-called technical admission of the helicopter and its medical equipment, after which it will fly to Bulgaria which, weather conditions permitting, should take place by the end of February. The first of a total of 6 helicopters, commissioned by Bulgaria, arrived in this country in February, 2024.
