to name a few others:

Honduras vs Nicaragua: P-38, T-6, A-26

Cambodia vs Vietnam: F-6 (perhaps don’t know whether Vietnam still had them)

During the Mid-East wars/skirmishes, Spitfires, Gloster Meteors, T-6s

China vs Taiwan, difficult to say, perhaps F-51s, F-47s or even ex-Japanese aircraft

Something I’d love to see is a 1960s Luftwaffe equipped with those indigenous aircraft of the developing world which were almost entirely designed by WW2 German engineers like Messerschmitt.

training/close air support: 200 Ha-200

Light fighter: 150 Pulqui 2

Medium fighter/interceptor: 250 Helwan HA-300

heavy fighter-bomber 150 HAL Marut

+ 30 double seater Maruts, specially adapted for the nuclear strike role

transport: 50 IA-38 Naranjero

Decembers AFM had a lovely pic of a Chadian SU-25 in it. Ive searched as many links as is proberly humanly possible, But someone somewhere, does have a his res image of it:eek:

BTW, the Frogfoot sports a new, amended version of the national markings:)

Please tell us, how does it look like? What’s the camouflage like?

As far as I know the complete Ivorian Air Force was destroyed by the French,so I assume that includes all 4 Su-25s

Several aircraft and helicopters survived, including some Mi-24s (ex-Bulgarian Mi-24Ds) an UAV, at least one Strikemaster and if I remember correctly at least one Su-25K.

Arte once aired a fantastic documentary called “The new mercenaries” with footage of Ivorian Hinds, including not only in action gun camera shots but also in flight footage of the single Ivorian Mi-24P. Unfortunately I lost the recording.

Edit: Just found out, you can download it in high quality unfortunately it costs 5,99 Eur. Perhaps everyone of us could pay some 50 Cents? 😀

Most of people here may agree with me that they’ve been keeping their fighter jets fueled and flying by immense sums of money generated from a huge influx of South korean tourists flocking to the Mountain Kum-Kang to enjoy the scenery annually.

Don’t forget drug trafficking, money laundering and missile exports 😉

A very interesting picture! So their Sukhois are painted medium grey and green, don’t have serials and some have those gibberish placards on them. I am convinced their Mig-29s look the same.

I just uploaded a video of the incident

Pretty funny, I used FANCI (Forces Armées Nationales de Côte d’Ivoire) as tag and now it is related to dozens of “fancy” videos 😀

Wow an Ivorian Su-25! In what numbers do they operate this aircraft?

Theybought two Su-25K single seaters and two Su-25UBK double seaters. The double seaters were heavily damaged by the French using ATGM after they had bombed a French base in 2004 killing nine soldiers. Look at gettyimages.com and search for Sukhoi Ivory Coast, there are several pictures of the two damaged ones. Unfortunately I don’t know whether they have been made flyable again.
