    And nobody in Bulgaria came to the very obvious solution? Hiring Ukrainian technicians to keep them in working order many years ago. Or giving some to Ukraine for such a maintenance contract for remaining ones more than 1½ years ago.

      From the article it seems like it isn’t worth the effort to try to maintain them in Bulgaria. Safety of the Bulgarian soldiers is important. Ukraine has greater expertise with these, and is willing to use them on the battlefield. Bulgaria is a NATO member. The same money spent on trying to keep S300 up and running could be spent on much better, more modern, safer, more effective weapon systems.
