- MiG-29 fighters have arrived in Ukraine from Slovakia, according to the country's Ministry of Defense.
The Slovak government decided to donate 13 combat aircraft to the Armed Forces of Ukraine to counter the Russian invasion.
The first four fighters were handed over to Ukraine in March, taking off under the control of Ukrainian pilots, and Ukraine has now received the remaining nine MiG-29s.

I’m actually surprised Russia not got air superiority over Ukraine 14 months in to the war.
Well, the Russian navy has been chased away from Ukrainian shores, despite Ukraine not having a navy...........
I am sure the Russians were surprised too. 😂 Well played Ukraine.
@@jimmiller5600 a navy is also always vulnerable when it can be hit from the land
@@8fledermaus8 well, what the world have seen, Russia military on the battle field clearly sees they lack any military experience from land, sea and air. a much larger military forces from troops, tanks, aircraft and ships, and Russia still getting its arse knocked, and it will be interesting to see when Ukraine goes on the counter offensive. because Russia counter offensive that started in January, haven’t regained large areas of territory, so I feel Ukraine counter offensive will give Russia a good punch and Russia will retreat further back..
but I feel Russia will try invade from the north again from Belarus territory again, but I can’t see Belarus forces getting involved, because they will be up against battle harden Ukrainian forces, and Belarus will have seen Russian military being defeated on many fronts against much smaller forces.
Its just numbers not quality
Just a little pedantic correction. In this video it was said that those two nations were the only nations to give ukraine aircraft.
However helecopters are still classified as aircraft and the UK and the US have already given Ukraine aircraft, just not airplanes.
Su-25 delivered by Bulgaria
If we're including helicopters, then all three Baltic states, Croatia, and Poland have also donated soviet-made machines.
yeah you are technically right. they should have said "Fighters"
not mention Czechoslovakia donated aircraft as well
@@spectra2005 Slovakia did, Czechoslovakia stopped existing 30 years ago:) But that is mentioned in the video.
22 Migs is a good boost, but experts say they need around 60 to be a game changer. I'm no expert but I think 22 Migs armed with Harm missiles and JDAMS can be absolutely devastating
Mig-29s have been integrated to carry HARMs, but not JDAMs. JDAM integration is also not so easy as a plug-and-play deal. Particularly when you are talking about integrating the Western soft/hardware of JDAM targeting and dropping into a Russian military design.
Migs isn't game changer at any means. It is F-16
HARM is used and hasn't made a difference. JDAMS are a death sentence for the pilots trying to use them.
@@ftboomer1 and yet they keep using them and keep destroying warehouses worth of artillery and troops 🤕
@Jasper Percabeth mig-29 can't carry long range A-A / A-G missles, can't use full potential of GBU and anti-radiation missles, f-16 has on 30 years more modern avionics, radars, situation awareness system & missles, better maneuverability and less reflective sign. You wanna me to continue? 😁
Meanwhile, another 2 Mig-39 fighters and 2 more Su-25 fighters were downed by Russian forces. These fighters will not change anything.
You are sharing incorrect informantion. - The remaining 9 did not fly by ukraine pilots. They were transported on land and they wont fly, they will be mainly used for spare as most have not flown in over a 15 years. The first 4 flew though!
Good on you, Slovakia! Cheers from New Zealand!
Seriously? May I ask why do you support Ukraine? Just because US propaganda said so? Did you support Itaq, Lybia, Afganistan etc during Nato agression?
Good on them they give all fighter jets what they had and alot of of other missile systems tanks etc that will only be destroy... That is really good to leave your country defenseless, well they need to listen Nato, when i say NATO i mean US, the Weaker EU the better, and that Russia put you on black list that is also very good. Especially when you border Ukraine. What you can say about that? Would you say Cheers that your country give all fighter jets to other country as gift?

They need planes that can fire longer-range air-to-air missiles and better, more modern aircraft.
And air defense systems.
Lots of it.
They need planes they can use, supply and maintain now, not years in the future.
@@jorgecalero6325 Yep they do but currently the Ukrainians are outmatched by the Russian air-air missiles. Ukrainian Migs don't have the compatibility to fire Western long-range air-air missiles.
The Ukrainians have no way of fighting back and engaging Russian jets all they can do is evade.
They need aircraft like the Gripen as they were built specifically for this task + to fly off temporary airstrips and they have the missile compatibility to reach Russian jets. Not many Gripen aircraft are in service and Sweden needs them. F16 is compatible with over 1000 weapon types and there are lots of them available but needs better runways and more maintenance
Unfortunately for air to air engagement the missiles that the Ukrainian migs carry (R-27ER1) range up to 100 km and the radar on the MiG29s is about the same 100 km. Russia's air-to-air missiles ranges in excess of 160KM. They need AMRAAMs (AIM 120s) or the newer Joint Advanced Tactical Missile (AIM-260) both are said to outrange Russian missiles. The only way they can get those is if they use F16s, as the missiles need western radars, data links and computers for course correction updates.
Or the European Meteor missile.
These MiGs have been upgraded and are compatible with NATO missiles.
@@BingoPaletot That's not correct. To fire the AIM-120 you need to replace the MiG29s radar which is a different shape to the F16s (not to mention completely different wiring) and replace 60% of the electronics. MiG29s have mostly analogue controls where as western jets are mostly digital/computerized. Slovakia kept both the Mig 29 and F16 because they wanted to run down their stocks of Russian ordnance. It was never upgraded to fire the AMRAAM .
@@dexterplameras3249 These planes flew in NATO air forces and were rewired by Elbit Systems. Just sayin'. Also, Ukrainians mated AIM-120 to their Soviet issue MiG-29 so it can be done.
@@BingoPaletot This is wrong.
These will hold the line for a while, but Ukraine needs a lot more than this to successfully counter the VKS. I think France was looking at getting 40 Mirage 2000-9s from the UAEs to send to Ukraine. But the most plentiful fighter to send to Ukraine is the F-16.
They need AMRAAMs to counter Russian air-to-air missiles which exceed 160KM in range. The Mirages carries the MICA missile which only has a range of 60KM. Given that their Mig 29s carry R27-ER1 which have a range of 100KM, I'm not sure that Mirage 2000s are going to help?
Yes, but they need jets which their pilots can fly now. They need immediate deployment. They don't have years to wait for a new generation of pilots rated on western planes, missiles and bombs. Eventually, yes, they need a good combo of F-16 and other western planes to go with a pilot core (re)trained in western doctrines.
@@jorgecalero6325 the main goal now is western jets, Ukraine have sufficient number of soviet jets, but their increase won't change anything strategically unlike F-16. Ukrainian pilots are ready to complete training on that jet within 3 months, but the main problem is that some pilots from this group already dead so without waiting for F-16 for Ukraine decision
@@Extirpaterussians what about training the huge numbers of maintainers and establishing parts supply lines etc? The amount of maintenance each bird requires per flight hour is ridiculous.
I rather be in a su35 sending you to hell
correct adjective is Slovak, so Slovak MiGs, Slovak Ministry etc etc., not Slovakian
what are the Slovak pronouns?
@@sergeipetrov_rzn Not much different from English, we just have extra 'you' / 'yours', making a difference between 'you' as a single person and 'you' as a group.
We do not need to tell Russia what is really going on.. Just keep them guessing.
I can't help but wonder if these jets got a few additional upgrades before being sent. It would certainly make sense.
all Migs and sucov aircraft are upgraded by russia. .all planes return that for upgrading ..
A waiting for:
Poland 20+ to deliver
Bulgaria 10+
Bulgaria won’t deliver any for some time as they’re waiting for F-16s as well.
MORE of these military analysis videos please!!
Since 2014, these aircraft have not been properly maintained. The ukraenienes collect, by all in the world, the flying bins.
I'm sure it must be a pilot issue too, Give these fighters more lethal, western aircraft
Christ
even tranche 1 Typhoon would teach Russian Sukhoi and Mig aircraft how to dance.
Yeah, but they suck in stones from the roads from which Ukraine Air Force operates from. You do realise that these aircraft will not operate from normal airbases, right? They will.take off from improvised airstrips on various country roads or highways to avoid being hit by cruise/ballistic missiles! That's standard in this way MiG-29 has the possibility to take off with main site intakes closed to avoid sucking in debris (there are some auxiliary intakes over the wings)
Ukraine need F-16
@@gigikontra7023 Ukraine has sufficient number of airfields that are ready to function with F-16, that the words of Ukrainian fighter jet pilot
@@Extirpaterussians they don't operate from airfields anymore. They operate from various roads in villages, completely distributed. Airfields are prime targets for Kinzhal, Kalibr, Tochka-U and Iskander.
@@gigikontra7023 surely you know better than current UAF pilot, especially I like some reflections about 120km Tochka-U, couple of Kinzhal missiles and main factor of reconnaissance of these airfields to be capable of striking them
Better make that 12 lost 2 mig 29`s this morning to Russian air defences . Ukraine lost more than that they had 727 aircraft of all types prior to jan 2022.
Poland will being supplying another 20odd exGerman Mig29s. Poland has had them for quite a few years but needed Germany's permission which it has just given.
Russia just needs to finish up already.
Uuuuu, sound scary 😳
S-500 will wait for them. 🇷🇺
I actually had a cheap way they could upgrade them
This’s definitely really great news so far.👌🏼 We just need to MAKE SURE they get F-16s ASAP as well. Well done though to Slovakia and Poland for giving Ukraine these MUCH NEEDED better MiGs.
Who is paying for Ukrainian F-16?
@@misterbig9025 I am through my US taxes comrade .
Ive herd reports from experts that the gripen would be a good fit for Ukraine. Rough field capability easy to work in the field. Logistics would be easier
Yes, but how many are available? Spare parts? Would Sweden really go it alone?
Quantity, parts, and the fact that many countries have them are the factors that sway the discussion towards F16. It's easier to form a 'coalition' of donators.
There are not many Gripen available, not nearly enough. Upgraded legacy Hornets are a better option. Hornets are available in large numbers from multiple countries and have similar or better capabilities to operate in rough conditions. Upgraded radars have been already added to many of these.
Fair point. I know the f16 are plentiful and the Ukrainians have adapted to using equpmnent on short order. I just dont know if the f16 would work for them though
The f18 might work though. Still thise big air intakes that can suck up and fod though
@Jeffrey Honafius I'm pretty sure Ukraine has thought long and hard about what they want and why. There's obviously some very good reasons for settling on the F16, and they're probably along the lines I mentioned (quantity and multiple countries who can contribute).
F18 suffers the same issue as Gripen (to a lesser extent). Limited potential suppliers.
In addition, Ukraine wouldn't ask for F16s if they had no places to operate them from.
Thank you Slovakia!❤️🙏🇺🇦💪🇺🇸
❤❤❤
Anyone else find it ironic Russian made Jets sent to fight Russia
Lots of incorrect info in there. 9 of those MiGs were not in flying conditions, so they were transported on land, not flown out. Further, all Slovak MiGs were stripped of all NATO avionics before being shipped to Ukraine for obvious reasons. Last but not least, the MiG 29 has never been a ground attack aircraft. It is a fighter and can only fire unguided rockets and cannon at ground targets. Try to hit a point target with that from a jet. So unless the ex-Slovak MiG 29s will be modified to carry guided bombs and HARM missiles, they are only usable against air targets. And, as already mentioned here, the air to air missiles they can carry are too short ranged to give them a chance against modern Russian fighters. They can be used for shooting down guided missiles and bigger drones though.
Should have been last year
I hope Ukraine is not in any danger of running out of pilots.
It isn't, but some of them in the group reserved for F-16 training are already died
We must give Ukraine jet fighters so they can defend themselves.
We have nothing to give them that they can use. That's why they are scavenging soviet planes from wherever they can.
Slovakia gets shiny new airplanes! When is the delivery date? There's a pretty long backlog.
We should have already got them, but pandemic shuffled the schedule a bit... Hopefully next year. For now, friends are protecting our skies (Czechia, Poland and Hungary).
2024 for the ordered F-16Vs
War Thunder R-27 and R-73 lmao 😂
Mig 29's are probably better if caught in close quarters dog fight than f16, if you can get close enough. Other newer aircraft have longer range radar and can deploy missiles first but they know how to fly them well and will be useful just how long will U.S keep funding this war.
R-77 magnets LMAO

"The only other nation to give Kyiv aircraft."
So apparently the UK didn't give Ukraine Sea King's or the US UH-60's according to... the UK.
All depends how good their pilots are. Great Plane + Mediocre pilot = Mediocre performance.
We seeming as they have no been fitting in actual war for the last year against a much larger country, I'd say their pilots are doing fairly well. People need to understand that the Ukrainians are in a type of war that NATO hasn't been in since the Korean War.
The US has made the JDAM bomb hookup able to be launched from a Mig-29 . They will do a lot of damage with them . Kerch bridge is on borrowed time . They only have to get within 80kls of the target to release a JADAM from high altitude . F-16's would be nice but a MIG-29 can also do a lot of damage . Both sides have lost a similar amount of aircraft but Ukraine's antiaircraft capabilities have grown steadily in recent months so Russia knows it can't just keep loosing aircraft at an ever increasing rate . It's holding back it's air force to try and conserve aircraft for a later date . That may or may not be a winning strategy .
MiG29, one of the best aircraft of all time.
That is completely wrong it is one of the worst
Im not the brightest button the coat but I reckon the donated migs will do the same job as their own mig 29 s
Well they will be a slight improvement because of the NATO compatible systems installed. Will make communications a bit better if nothing else.
Are the Slovak and Polish MiGs modified for NATO standard weapons?
Slovak MiGs are not... :-/ UA will have to do some modifications first.
That’s not what they need.
They NEED about 50 A-10 Wart HOGGS.
That what the aircraft was built for an Eastern Block attack by Russians.
It’s a sad testament to this Highly Available, War Proven Flying Titanium BathTub.

More like an outdated, friendly killing, slow and vulnerable piece of target practice for any SPAA
Malaysia got 18 of them, if only US would sponsor F18 Super Hornet for Malaysia.
USA itself is closing its production
It's not what the jets can deliver to the Ukraine. It's what they can deliver to Russia that counts 💀☠️💀
Thank you Slovakia!
MiG-29 is not a perfect fighter jet - it has a small combat radius, bad radar, and is not effective with NATO munitions.
The mig 29 looks cool but it is one of the worst modern fighter jets
Thank you so very much Poland and Slovakia.

Only 60 Ukrainian jets, that’s a very big lie. They have lost more than that
Russia got Nuks as candy 😂..
In spite of this very welcome donation , the Ukraine needs to regain control of its airspace and that will require more than currently being supplied , the attrition rate seems far higher than supplied , this coupled with training programmes on more NATO standard planes only being offered at the start of this year, a huge gap in training time and being able to get more modern planes active . The UK also needs to look at its own pilot training which is chronically short, a report informs us , of trained pilots also?
Yes from a UK perspective we should not train a single Ukrainian with the current mess we are in. At some point we need to put ourselves first.
Without listening to this I’m gonna go ahead and say the Ukrainian‘s want at 16s they don’t want these planes. But what they really knew those A6 is they need those AZ 130 gun shifts that’s what they need so they can get those blown out of the sky frig

Aside from fix wing aircraft the west has actually given a large amount of helicopters. Roughly 40 mi 8 or mi17s
Well...they better bury them before the get all blowed up. 💥🤭🤫
I think this is a massive mistake by NATO and her allies. Countries close to Ukraine have been donating equipment for the Ukrainian war effort in a piecemeal manner for over a year now, all the while making themselves weaker in the process. Who's to say this war isn't a ruse by Russia to weaken all the old soviet block countries before Russia launches a massive blitzkrieg style attack? We keep hearing reports of how Russia is running out of munitions, manpower and equipment. But the fact is Russia has not committed any of her professional forces, or any of her latest equipment to this fight. She is obviously holding these back and only committing old equipment and her least well trained forces including reservists and private military personnel. This leads me to believe Russia still possess the capability to launch a massive attack on weakened NATO eastern countries. The Ukrainian war has only served to galvanize the Russian people against NATO, and Russian properganda has constantly been telling its people that they are already fighting against NATO. We are falling into a trap, and I fear it's already too late.
Russia has been using its best equipment in Ukraine, T-90 and T-80 tanks, Su-35 and Su-34 fighter bombers, soldiers from the first guards tank army, all have been destroyed in large or small numbers depending on the situation. There isn't much Russia is holding back other than nuclear weapons. The west sending old equipment to Ukraine is indeed weakening it slightly, but these weapons are also draining Russia's ability to fight without a cost in NATO manpower.
Russia could still attack NATO, but it has nowhere near the capability required to defeat it. Sending these weapons reduces Russia's capability, if you understand what I mean.
@@jamiegray6931 Small handfuls of modern equipment though really. Up to now I believe the Russians have lost a total of 15 or so of their modern T90M tanks, which is a token number given the type of warfare and the time scale! America had 23 M1 Abrams knocked out during the gulf war and that lasted a fraction of the time and they weren't facing an adversary armed with up to date weapons. All things considered they aren't losing many modern vehicles compared to their old stocks. And manpower isn't an issue for Russia, they don't care about their crews not being as well protected, their strategy is to flood the battlefield with cheap, rugged, easily transportable armour be it old or new. At the end of the day conscripts cost nothing to replace, I think people forget how Russia fought during WWII.
