Bulgaria has released a letter of request (LOR) for a letter of offer and acceptance (LOA) for a second batch of eight F-16 Block 70 multirole fighters, Defence Minister Georgi Panayotov told a parliamentary hearing on 20 August.

Panayotov expected the US response within the next six to eight months, explaining that this is the only way to obtain a specific offer from Washington with a firm and fixed price, payment schedule, and delivery schedule.

Bulgarian legislation requires a structured investment plan for each defence procurement project exceeding BGN100 million (USD60 million). This plan requires government and parliamentary approval before an actual deal can be reached, including an agreement with a binding signature.
