I am asking this question is there is so much confusion regarding this in different sources I have encountered
Can someone please give a list of ways the 9.12B was different from the soviet VVS 9.12 version ?
Was the 9.12B version supplied to Iraq Yugoslavia and India?

How bad was the radar on the 9.12B ?
Can it be used for BVR combat ?

There were other things.. many early export birds lacked wet underwing pylons, for example..

Don’t know the answer but I was just in Poland and went to their Armed Forces Museum. Here’s a walkaround video of a Polish MiG-29 https://youtu.be/fXpFK30uhBY
I might even have a picture of the plaque

Yes, Yugoslavia received 14 Mig-29B aircraft plus two 9.51 two seaters. Striped down version of Soviet standard.
Last week Russia delivered 6 Mig-29 aircraft to help Serbian airforce stay flying until better times. Those are straight from Russian inventory and is question how much they will be stripped down first, brought to a current standard of Serbian other Mig-29s, and than upgraded in near future to SM hopefully. Process is under way. First official photos will be on the 20th of this month.

The 9.12B was the export version for non Warsaw Pact operators. It, IIRC had a less capable radar process, N-019EB radar, different IFF IIRC, no datalink and no nuclear strike capability. The 9.12A was the WP version which had the N-019EA radar and IIRC lack the nuclear capability as well.
