Hi Tango,

When is that image from if i may ask, is it recent? Is that MiG-29 a gateguard somewhere in Iraq? Looks in fairly good condition.

Thank you.

Yes, it is recent days but I'm not sure where in Iraq.

Here is another one.

It is 29040, one of the modified aircraft.

I believe its the "MiG29B" modified as buddy-buddy refueller

Last known location of the 29040 and 29062 was Taqqadum/Tammuz AB.
Perhaps the display is somewhere on the airbase area.
MiG-29 modification: just take a look at where the APU-470 launchers for the R-27 are mounted - on the intermediate
wing hardpoints (#3 and 4).
The launchers do not fit in that position by default (the mounting points of the launcher are spaced more widely).
Iraqi technicians made a indigenous adapter for the rear-mount to make it fit to the stations 3+4.
The stations 1+2 (innermost) are said to have been modified to take external fuel tanks.

هل استعملت الميغ-29 في اواخر الحرب مع ايران؟

هل استعملت الميغ-29 في اواخر الحرب مع ايران؟

المصادر اتفقت على ان استخدامها كان محدود وقسم ذكر انه تم اسنعمالها ومصادر تقول انها كانت تحت التدريب حيث وصلت للعراق عام 1987 ..

شكرا علي المعلومات أخي
