Bulgarian government and Italian Alenia Aeronautica are to sign the contract for the purchase of Tactical Transport aircrafts, Defense Ministry's press office announced.
For this purpose Minister Vesselin Bliznakov met Thursday with a Vice-President of the Italian company in Sofia.
Alenia Aeronautica will now deliver five transport aircrafts C-27J Spartan Tactical Transport Aircrafts. The Italian company won in April 2005 the government's tender for the purchase.
Bulgarian army is to be revived with eight C-27J Spartan Tactical Transport Aircrafts, which are developed by Lockheed Martin Alenia Tactical Transport Systems (LMATTS).
One C-27J aircraft costs about USD 30 M.
The C-27J Spartan has the same logistical and maintenance characteristics of the Lockheed Martin C-130J Hercules Medium Tactical Airlifter, and also shares commonality of the cargo capacity.
The primary roles of the C-27J are cargo transport, troop transport and material and paratroop air drop. Other missions include maritime patrol, tactical operations, medical evacuation, ground refuelling, fire-fighting and aerial spraying.
