Great thread, Guys, and some really interesting info: thanks, Flex, Jeroen and Martinez.

Lets hope this is a start for some good research work 😀

Jeroen, what was the thought behind the list of Fishbeds you posted as I thought the current whereabouts/fate of almost all of those was pretty much known?

I had no “fate” of these Slovak MiG-21 aircraft in my database 🙂

The Fishbeds that I’m not aware of recent sightings for are the following:

7706 MiG-21MF
7715 MiG-21MF
9404 MiG-21MF
9406 MiG-21MF
9710 MiG-21MF
9714 MiG-21MF
9813 MiG-21MF
9814 MiG-21MF
9815 MiG-21MF

3176 MiG-21UM Sold Abroad (but to where?!)

Most of the MiG-21MF I’ve listed above are the ones that raised suspicions in certain people who follow such movements of hardware around the globe as much as they can.

I Am not yet up-to-date with all the new Mil, MiG & Sukhoi movements 😮

Any info you have on any of these would be very much appreciated, Martinez: many thanks in advance.
Keep up the good work, Chaps!

And not forget the mfd, del, wfu info etc. :diablo:

Jeroen Nijmeijer

7501 – 1st batch of 9.12A, ex-Czechoslovakia, 2. SLP, 4-tone brown/green/dark green/sand camo, later white/red/blue stripes, it is probably this machine, that has been damaged beyond repair whilst being pulled over 10 g
8003 – 1st batch of 9.12A, ex-Czechoslovakia, 2. SLP, 4-tone brown/green/dark green/sand camo

etc.

4401 – 1st batch of 9.51A, ex-Czechoslovakia, 2. SLP, 4-tone brown/green/dark green/sand camo, overhauled at LOT Trencin, given new white/grey livery
1303 – 2nd batch of ex-Russian 9.51, 1. SLP, 2-tone green/grey camo, later painted in Tiger scheme
5304 – ex-Russian 9.51, stars still visible under Slovak badges, green/grey camo, the green is somewhat darker than usually seen

All machines of 9.12 standard (2nd batch) can carry underwings bags, the 9.12A can only use underbelly tank

Thanks

But what about the yet unknown linenumbers, exact delivery dates and mfd info :diablo:

Regrads,
Jeroen Nijmeijer

Those twelve (batch/6pcs) ex-bulgarian L-29 Delphin underwent overhaul in LOT and were sold to Angola. The first batch of the L-29 left the Slovakia on the same train with the Su-22. The dates are correct.

No one Slovak Mig participated in the illegal deal with North Korea. The Czech company, the ex-Kirgiz(Kazakh) Migs-21 were involved into it. In case of missing Sliac Fishbeds, one pair has been sold to Australia, a few went to a private gatherer to Presov town, some others were scraped. The rest is staying at Sliac AFB and the VHU museum in Piestany(Trencin).
If you want to talk bort numbers separately, write those you are looking for, maybe I`ll be able to trace them down. I know people who spent years gathering information about Slovak Fishbeds.

Martinez

Thanks for the info Martinez!
Talking about Slovak serial numbers sounds good 🙂

And something about the L-39. Aero rebuilt six Slovak L-39 aircraft. The old airframe was replaced by a new airframe (c/n 5251, 5252, 5253, 5254, 5301 and 5302). Which six Slovak L-39 aircraft where involved?
And any tie-ups?

L-29

Helo Steve,

Yep, the UN register declarations.

The six L-29 aircraft are almost sure ex Bulgarian aircraft.
I have also seen a picture of an Angolan L-39!

We need so more digging 🙂

Jeroen

What is known about the N003z radar in a MiG-23ML?
