New Wings Over Europe video:

Carrying out a fighter sweep in a US Navy F/A-18A Hornet at dusk.

Found and engaged some Soviet MiG-23P ('Flogger-G') and MiG-29A ('Fulcrum') fighters.

Great fight in the twilight of the Cold War with some spectacular kills.

Kiev lamenta: "#Mig29 non sono moderni e versatili"

Il portavoce dell'aeronautica #ucraina, Yuri Ignat, si è lamentato che i Mig-29 forniti da alcuni Paesi europei e tanto sollecitati da Kiev rafforzano solo parzialmente le capacità di difesa aerea in quanto si tratta di #caccia non particolarmente moderni e versatili. Nello specifico Ignat ha spiegato che questi #aerei militari non sono equipaggiati di stazione radar né possono trasportare missili tecnologicamente all'avanguardia.

President of #Ukraine, Volodymyr #Zelenskyy, has called on the heads of state and government of the #EU states to deliver modern fighter jets to his country. He is grateful to #Poland and #Slovakia for the decision to provide fighter jets of Soviet type #MiG29, Zelenskyy said on Thursday at an EU summit, to which he was connected via video. "This will significantly strengthen the defense of our airspace. But we need modern aircraft."

#Slovacchia
Il primo ministro slovacco, Eduard #Heger, ha annunciato che il suo Paese ha approvato l'invio di 13 caccia #Mig29 di fabbricazione sovietica in #Ucraina. La Slovacchia si unisce così alla #Polonia, che ieri ha annunciato che invierà quattro #jet dello stesso tipo.

The #USA and #Germany tried unsuccessfully to prevent Polish deliveries of #MiG29 to #Ukraine. Since the delivery of spare parts was politically permitted, not just #Poland supplied a huge number of spare parts from which Ukrainian mechanics were able to assemble entire #jets.

It just wasn't ready-to-fly but an extended assembling kit. 😁

Former #NATO Commander-in-Chief in #Europe James #Stavridis said on #ZDF: "I agree that we should provide fighter jets to #Ukraine." Specifically, he recommends providing #MIG29 from #Poland and #F16 from the #US. MIG29 could be delivered directly, Ukrainians know how to operate them. "Ukrainian pilots could be trained on the F16, which takes some time. It's a relatively simple aircraft that's easy to learn."

Absolutely incredible!
In the 80s #LookDown #ShootDown was the mantra for aircraft ability to shoot down #Cruise #missiles
#Ukraine says #HoldMyBeer and flies it's #MIG29 at low altitude to ensure survivability and interception capability!

La cessione di 28 #MiG29 all'#Ucraina potrebbe fare la differenza per annientare la lunga colonna di mezzi russi che staziona da giorni a 25km da #Kyiv. Ma la #Polonia vuole una decisione unanime della #NATO e rimane da vedere cosa dirà l'#Ungheria.
