Bulgaria's MiG-29 aircraft do not have a Friend or Foe identification system and are operationally incompatible with NATO aircraft. Allied forces aircraft and systems would consider them as targets, explained to BNR prof. Todor Tagarev, former defence minister, military expert and lecturer.
"I have been saying for years that if there was a war, MiG-29s would be grounded. They cannot take part in operations," Tagarev said.
