Dronele rusești atacă nave în Marea Neagră, dar doar România le doboară. De ce nu ridică și Bulgaria avioanele F-16

Romania's second-hand F-16s have successfully intercepted drones over the Black Sea, while Bulgaria's new F-16 Block 70s face operational delays. Romania invested around 1 billion euros for 49 used F-16s, which have already engaged in combat, whereas Bulgaria spent over 2.5 billion dollars for 16 new jets, half of which are still not operational. Both countries sought NATO support following drone attacks on commercial vessels, but Romania was able to respond immediately with its F-16s, while Bulgaria remains reliant on NATO assistance. Romania's F-16s will also patrol Bulgarian airspace in 2027, highlighting the disparity in operational readiness between the two nations.
