No Scuds were fired, the only SRBM that were fired that I recall were those Al-Samoud 2 missiles. The ones that were going to be destructed under UN supervision….

The only news I can recall about Laos is that they ordered 12 Ka-32 and 12 Mi-171 but that only 6 or 9 helicopters were delivered before they ran out of funds. The mix of which type got delivered in which quanity is a big questionmarkt to me

saw them last week at Hurrica (DE), as expected no interaction with the crowd, but music was good though

The only intresting thing is that the UK and USA are not participating in this deal. But both countries have frequently used AA’s services to support the war against terror. I wonder why they don’t want to be included.

There hasn’t been a confirmation that any MiG-21Bis have been upgraded to the 2000 standard, but plenty have received refurbishment and maybe minor radio, IFF and other upgrades.

Steve, if I use the African MiG’s book as reference then I can find that bort 511 black has been seen with a similiar camo in seen in 1997. Does that fit your time line.

Intrestingly is that a number of higher bort MiG-21Bis received a overall light blue-grey camo, also seen in 1997

A third intresting point is that the MiG-15UTI 101 has been printed with a different roundel then in the African MiGs book. I think its safe to say however that this new roundel has been applied after it flew with the older roundel.
