Any pics of the Cuban or Ethiopian Hazes?
Never heard about Ethiopia operating Mi-14, but I have some Cuban ones from this forum:

…and the best one:
Too much energy wasted for a bloody PS. I thought the matter was solved by Stevoe’s post. I don’t see how adding the real c/n – which is well known and easy to find – to the faked picture would make it real.
Let’s make a few things clear:
Romanian MiG-29s never left our country – not while in service and not after. #54 was, together with #35, the last two airworthy examples, in mid-2002 before the retirement. In order to fly again, they would need a complete overhaul
#54, along other Ro Fulcrums was photographed on various occasions, at least a couple of times every year since the late 90’s – most of the NATO planes involved in exercises over Romania are based at Mihail Kogalniceanu, former home of the Fulcrums, there are also airshows there. Every summer the RoAF organizes a press tour trough its bases. In this conditions, it would be impossible for a plane to be missing and nobody from the outside notice it.
Blue is the colour of the RoAF ground crews uniforms since decades, and nobody can claim they are asians with tht kind of picture resolution.
I guess YG screwed up :dev2:
EDIT: found the “original”
The “Chinese” one is cropped so the fuel storage tanks, berms, building in the background can’t be seen – they can be ID’d in Google Earth
suflanker45:
Its possible that the Soviets got their hands on F-4s when South Vietnam fell in the early 70’s. We turned over tons of hardware over to the armed forces of South Vietnam when we pulled out.
South Vietnam never had any F-4s
fulcrum-aholic:
Fake. Here is the original:

Just like a pair of F-14’s just happened to crash for no apparent reasons on the same day four came under fire from Syrian guns and missiles.
Source? Date? Squadron? Carrier? Crews? BuNo.?…
Saudi Mirage 5 SDE
Singapore AF A-4S on 15 Nov. 1975
Zair AF MB 326 single-seater FG-479 in Italy
Moldovan Mi-17 with the old camouflage scheme in 1997 – now it’s white overall
First of all, The Lancer Program is a joint venture by Elbit Israel (the avionics) and Aerostar Romania (the airframe and engine) and is applied to the MiG-21M/MF.
The IAI upgrade program is named Mig-21-2000 and is based on the MiG-21bis. IAI does both the avionics integration and structure overhaul in Israel.
As for the roundel, it is not fudged over, it’s the same odd roundel seen before on Ethiopian Mi-17s posted on the forum some time ago
P.S. Excellent find on the BN, thanks!
