According to the state chief's communiqué, the parliamentary commission has decided to open tenders for selecting the types of planes needed for the country's air force.
Radev has said the Bulgarian aviation is 100-year old.
In May 2015, the Bulgarian Parliament's Defence Commission approved the plan to modernise the armed forces, among other things, with the purchase of new fighter planes. Now this tender has to be repeated.
