The United States is ramping up its military support to key allies by delivering F-16 fighter jets to Bulgaria and approving a major sale to the Philippines. Bulgaria has received the first of 16 F-16s, a move aimed at modernizing its air force and aligning with NATO standards amid heightened tensions due to the Russia-Ukraine war. Meanwhile, the US has approved the sale of 20 F-16s to the Philippines, reinforcing its Indo-Pacific alliance and countering China's regional influence. These moves reflect Washington's broader strategy to strengthen military ties with allies in Europe and Asia. The F-16 deliveries are seen as both symbolic and strategic in the current geopolitical climate.
