Terem-Letets will repair Ukrainian helicopters, MP Hristo Gadzhev, chairman of the parliamentary defence committee said for the BNR.

“A contract was concluded not long ago – we shall see how it will be put into practice – between Terem and a Ukrainian helicopter repair company, the aim of which is to bring the repair of helicopters from Ukraine to Bulgaria. It will obviously bring economic benefits and will help the Ukrainians,” Hristo Gadzhev said, and added that this does not include Ukrainian helicopters only, but the maintenance of different kinds of aircraft from other countries as well. A question by MP Ivo Ruschev to Minister of Defence Todor Tagarev makes it clear that the agreement in question is probably a 30-year contract between the Bulgarian Terem-Letets plant and the Ukrainian company AvioGrade for the maintenance of Mi helicopters.
