SOFIA (Reuters) - Bulgaria's defence minister said on Friday he has asked the government to cancel a 1.46 billion euro ($1.74 billion) tender to buy 150 armoured vehicles as offers by the two short-listed bidders far exceeded the estimated budget for the order.
Krasimir Karakachanov said he has asked state arms company Terem to deliver a report on whether the Bulgarian arms companies could carry out the project, including assembling the machines and importing some of the equipment from foreign arms producers.
Bulgaria had short-listed U.S. General Dynamics and Finland's Patria and started assessing their offers in October

WTF? How the hell did they end up with a 1.74 billion $ bill for 150 APC's?!? We paid 1 billion $ for 227 Piranha5....( including local manufacturing for the vehicles and turrets)
