From what I have gathered, the Mig 29 provided by Bulgaria, Poland, and Slovakia are the earliest/original version. It’s unlikely that they have had any refit/upgrade. They are compatible to use 80s and 90s era Soviet/Russian weapons and there’s no indication that they were adapted to use western weapons. Luckily, since Ukraine too uses a lot of Soviet/Russian equipment, they probably have a stock of compatible spares and weapons.
Slovakian Mig’s are modernised. Ukraine knows how to use such jets, thats the point. Munition is munition to a large degree. They can absolutely shoot down jets despite not being fancy. You dont need Western weapons.
I have no idea he said but I’m assuming it comes down to Western aggression and blatant lying. I do wonder how these people live with themselves. I’d happily round them up and send them to Mars with Elon.
Truly. I’ve been watching all the major networks since this began and like I said, mostly talking heads and a few cutaways to reporters in Kiev etc but very little in the way of footage of the war, or situational updates. I mentioned before that CNN had ‘Breaking news’ a couple of hours ago. Was stuff posted by @Magnus and thus known by us yesterday.
