Bulgarian MPs approve purchase of 8 new F-16s from US

 

Bulgaria’s parliament has sealed a deal to buy eight new American fighter jets. The agreement is part of a plan to replace the Balkan country’s aging Soviet-built jets and to bring its air force in line with NATO standards.

 

Lawmakers voted 123-78 on Friday in favor of a government motion to buy the eight F-16 Block 70 aircraft, AP reported. This will be the biggest military procurement in post-Communist Bulgaria.

 

The $1.25 billion deal includes the jets, ammunition, equipment and pilot training. The six single-seat and two, two-seat F-16s would be delivered by 2023. The defense minister will sign the contract with producer Lockheed Martin.

 

Bulgaria joined NATO in 2004 and the EU three years later.

Beijing calls on US to ‘correct’ Iran sanctions

 

Beijing urged the US on Friday to “correct” sanctions imposed on Chinese companies accused of helping Iran acquire materials for its nuclear program, AP reports.

 

Washington’s pressure on Iran and its “long-arm jurisdiction” against companies in third countries is the “root cause” of tension with Tehran, the Foreign Ministry said.

 

“China has consistently and resolutely opposed the US imposing unilateral sanctions and so-called long-armed jurisdiction over other countries, including China,” said the ministry’s spokesperson, Geng Shuang. “We urge the US to immediately correct this wrong approach and earnestly respect the legitimate rights and interests of all parties.”

 

The US Treasury said on Thursday it imposed sanctions on what it called a network of front companies and agents. It said they are based in Iran, China and Belgium. The Treasury said the purchases violated UN restrictions on materials that can be used for nuclear programs.
