Bulgarian Defence Minister Georgi Panayotov announced that the country has released a Letter of Request (LOR) - in response to a Letter of Offer and Acceptance (LOA) - for a second batch of eight F-16 Block 70s for the Bulgarski Voenno Vzdushni Sili (BWS, Bulgarian Air Force) during a parliamentary hearing on August 21. According to the minister, the request also included air-to-air and air-to-ground weapon packages, training, maintenance, and logistics support. Bulgaria signed up for an initial eight F-16C/D Block 70 fighters in July 2019. The BWS's current development plans call for a single type-equipped squadron to be fielded within its order of battle.
