Hi Alfonz,
i’m from Bulgaria, i will send you info in the coming days who you must contact here. We still have flying Su-25, MiG-21 and MiG-29. We even send one MiG-29(static display) to the Izmir airshow this year.

MiG-29OVT in Varna, Bulgaria on the way to airshow in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. It seems that the pretty girls likes it. After take-off the pilot did few spins.

I am from Bulgaria and i can tell you that anything our prime minister says must be taken with HUGE bag of salt. And in this case it’s only empty talk and speculation. We don’t have the money and i don’t see in the near future that we will have something like 300-500mil for any deal. So it will be best if that the title of the thread is changed to “What if…..”

Best way is to bomb the **** out of Gaddaffi troops after estbalishing a NFZ and then use AH1Z or Appache to desotry the armour.

It’s easy for an armchair general to just throw a solution that means killing of thousand of lives. I wonder if you have the guts to face any surviver that was “bombed the **** out” and told him that it was deserved. I know that there is nothing in my post that will change the minds of such people, they spend too much time in front of TV and playing games.
And btw on topic, i hope that if Typhoon will become battle proven, it will be against any fanatic Kadafi follower, not a pilot dumping his bombs in the desert.

Maybe i missed that 20 million figure, i only saw this: “Bulgaria should be encouraged to realize savings through elimination of defense elements that are ineffective or incompatible with multilateral missions, such as its two submarines and an outdated Russian Surface-to-Air missile system estimated to cost over million a year.”

And who do you suppose will suffer most from this game?

We, the people that will pay for even more costly oil, our(NATO) soldiers that are abroad and will face much better prepared opposition. It’s so easy to give theories and play scenarios behind the computer screen.

And if MiG-25 engage in dogfight, then something has gone terribly wrong. The same can be said for Su-15 and Tu-128. To wonder if interceptor never designed for close-in combat is just pointless.
