Ukraine counted 72 MiG-29 fighters

Ukraine has three brigades of MiG-29 fighters. This statement was made by the speaker of the command of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Yuriy Ignat. According to him, the Kyiv regime also has two brigades of Su-27 fighters. At the same time, Ignat stressed that these aircraft are already morally and technically obsolete.

The speaker's statement, apparently, inspired extraordinary optimism in the hearts of supporters of the current Ukrainian government. For example, the TV channel TSN calculated that one brigade includes three squadrons of 12 aircraft. Thus, three brigades should have at least 108 fighters. Where did the rest of the aviation technique, which, according to Yuri Ignat, is at the disposal of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, has remained a mystery.



Recall that some time ago there were reports of the transfer of 11 MiG-29 fighters from Slovakia to Ukraine. According to information spread by representatives of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, these aircraft are already operating in the Kharkiv region. In addition, four more MiG-29 fighters were handed over to the Kyiv regime by Poland. In total, it turns out that only 15 combat aircraft are in service with the Ukrainian Air Force.

One can only guess why Yuriy Ignat says that Ukraine has several dozen combat aircraft.

It should be noted that in recent months, Kyiv has been persistently seeking the supply of aviation equipment from its Western curators. But so far to no avail.
