Four defence companies have responded to requests for information regarding the potential supply of multirole fighter aircraft to the Bulgarian Ministry of Defence (MoD) and a fifth is to do so imminently.
A series of presentations took place on 22-24 August following a request by the Bulgarian MoD for detailed proposals on aircraft capability, prices and timeframes for delivery.
Gripen International presented a case for its JAS 39 Gripen C/D, Dassault Aviation is offering the Rafale C and BAE Systems is lead consortium partner for a Eurofighter Typhoon bid.
Boeing made its presentation on the F/A-18 in June and Lockheed Martin is due to make its presentation for the F-16 in September.
