Iliyana Yotova on F-16: When it comes to Bulgarian aviation, I trust the president and Air Force General Rumen Radev  - 1

Vice President Iliyana Yotova commented on the tension surrounding the new F-16 fighter jet and the information that has emerged about a problem with it.

Yesterday, Defense Minister Atanas Zapryanov described as "absurd and cynical" the accusations of sabotage against the personnel who received the first of the aircraft in our country and stated that a technical problem has turned into a domestic and foreign policy problem.

"When it comes to Bulgarian aviation, I trust the president and Air Force General Rumen Radev", said Iliana Yotova.

BNT: Do you think there is really a problem?

"I can't say, the experts will say that, I hope Bulgarian society knows it too, because the speculations that have appeared in all directions do not do us any honor. I also think that this is a matter of national security. And it seems to me that we are being too frivolous in front of our partners - not only European, but also overseas", said Iliana Yotova.
