[31 January 2025]
Bulgaria has received its first Lockheed Martin F-16 Block 70 Fighting Falcon combat aircraft during a ceremony at the manufacturer's Greenville facility in South Carolina. The event on 31 January saw the first of 16 aircraft formally handed over to Bulgarian Defence Minister Atanas Zapryanov and other national dignitaries, ahead of its transfer to Bulgaria in April. The milestone came three months after the single-seat F-16C Block 70 aircraft performed its maiden flight out of the same production facility, and 12 months after the build began in January 2024.
