The G-91s were used in Guinea Bissau as COIN fighters. There seem to have been some engagements with Guinean (Conakry) or Nigerian Mig-17s, which supported the local rebels, but unfortunately no more details about these are known. It is also possible that G-91s flew some combat sorties against RENAMO and UNITA guerillas when they were in service with the airforces of Angola and Mozambique shortly after independence.

shindand march 2006 – nice to see a su-22M3! 😀

Actually this one seems to have been captured from the Taliban in 2001.

Indeed very disappointing… 😡

Azerbaijan
Syria Mi-24D
Turkmenistan
Uzbekistan Mi-24P

currently involved in combat operations are:
Chad, Nigeria, Sudan,Dem Rep Congo, Uzbekistan, Afghanistan, India (?), Sri Lanka
perhaps currently used in combat are
Peru/Cuba (drug busting)
Rep Congo (don’t know whether there are still some Ninjas out there)

There are several new modern versions for example the Mi-35M or also the Israeli Mission 24 upgrade

The same applies to every country on earth. Even the what we regard as western states, many of which face no strategic threat at all, and yet deploy far more expensive weapons systems, every country has within it situations that could be improved, yet just becouse a state is poor relative to another it does not mean it does not have the right to buy weapons.

Of course Bangladesh has the right to have an army and to purchase weapons but that doesn’t change the fact that this procurement is just absolutely senseless. They already have several F-7s to control their airspace. The biggest threat to the Bangladesh military aren’t intruding enemy fighter jets but drug addicted child soldiers somewhere in Congo.

Bangladesh should rather consider buying Mi-24s and Mi-17s to support their UN operations. What do they need F-7s for?

Did you ever see some operational Afghan Mig-21s?
