F-16 negotiations continue and there is no final offer yet

Following the approval of the US Congress for Bulgaria buying F-16 aircraft, Lockheed Martin said negotiations continue. The 1.6 billion USD estimate of the Congress should not be considered the last. The US government is yet to send its offer to Bulgaria. The framework set by Congress allows for further extension of the program without requiring re-approval. We are confident that the F-16 Block 70 is the best combination of operational capabilities and the lowest cost to meet the requirements of the Bulgarian Air Force," explained director John Neilson.
