    I don’t think those are Floggers. looks like 3 MiG-21/F-7 and 1 F-6 Farmer to me – I believe the shadows tricked you. Also found 5 F-16s at Beni Suef. Anyway, here’s a .kmz file with more Egyptian stuff.

    Thanks, guys. I’m looking foremost for Bf109G pics, but S/CS-199 are also welcome. What was the camo of the Romanian birds (the ones with the star, not the classic wartime roundels)? Looks like light grey from that b/w pic…

    The photo gallery provided by tomcat1974 pretty much covers the subject. However, images entitled 40.jpg and 41.jpg show the cockpits of IAR-99 #712, which received a limited upgrade in the early 90’s, not the IAR-93 cockpit.
    Here’s a couple of pics of IAR-93DC (double seater) #600, with fixed canards for testing purposes (they were used to shorten the take-off distance). Now it is an exhibit at the Air Force Academy in Brasov.

    There were 7 Ugandan MiG-21s (6 bis and 1 UM). The Sole UM has a sand/green paintscheme, while the bis have a light blue/grey camo.

    Flanker finished the UB off with a 30mm gun after hosing off several R-73 or R-60 missiles at the UB

    Flankers never carried R-60s

    38 F-15K from the first batch to be more precise, as two already crashed.

    Just found a nice, large pic of the Rubezh-E (SSC-3 “Styx”). Enjoy!

    Looks like a BLU-82/B “Daisy Cutter” with the particular long stick fuse for use in case of soft soil

    the former Soviet Union was a summer resort compared to what is North Korea now in terms of secrecy. You just can’t compare them.

    As some already said, if you want high-res pics, just wait until the regime collapses. There is no other way.

    The MiG-29 in post #5 is a C model – watch the curved spine.

    Geez these Eastern European airforces are expensive jokes. They might as well scrap them all and put the money into worthy social projects.

    What they should do is demilitarise – scrap their armies and airforces (and navies if they have them) and replace them with Coast Guard type services responsible for fisheries protection, SAR and other peace time policing roles, counter terrorist police units and border police.

    Land locked countries such as the Czech Republic should simply have border guards and SAR aviation.

    Now this is cheap propaganda. Take this crap somewhere else, will ya?
