Aparently they are /will be overhauled in Belarus. This algerian MiG-29 could have been photographed there some time ago (note Su-17 in the background), but i’m not 100% sure.
Presumably, from take-off magazine , don’t know what year.
LOL why? so it could fly under powered and carry less while being more smokey at the same time? horrible idea.
the MiG-23’s current engine has way more thrust.
Al-31 MiG-23’s however are more doable and has been done on the 27
Like Fulcrum29 said the MiG-23s( both attacker and interceptor) are long out of service, so are MiG-21s etc .
One of the things i’m very interested is, what will be the next combat aircraft for Algeria ? More Su-30MKAs? Su-35? MiG-35? Maybe a western aircraft ?! Also wonder what’s gonna happen with their MiG-29, are they going to be replaced fairly shortly ( end of airframe hours?) or given a proper upgrade a la SMT/UPG?
Would assume that if everything goes well and current political trends continue, PAK-FA will be a given in the early twenties (even earlier , who knows)
3rd Air Defence Wing’s MiG-29 9.13, showing the unit badge, and also A-G loadout. Pictures taken at the beggining of the 2000s aparently.
Interesting MiG-23BNs (long retired at the moment ) sporting Mk82 bombs , aparently purchased from S.Africa. Source forcesdz.com
