"The Russian fighter aircraft arrived in Libya, from an airbase in Russia, after transiting Syria where it is assessed they were repainted to camouflage their Russian origin" africom.mil/media-room/pre…
This excellent May 7th, article by Joseph Trevithick has good details about the condition and paint schemes of Syrian Mig-29's. I get that "Patina" is in for hot rods but...damn Vlad. thedrive.com/the-war-zone/3…
Follow up on various geeky things related to Russia's Mig-29s. Like...nobody wants to buy a used one. So what better person to sell them to? thedrive.com/the-war-zone/3…
Suitably bad Mig 29 deesco deesco video.

"In today's episode of "Pimp My Jet", Vlad shows up at the Damascus shop with a new MIg 29 that needs an emergency make over. The team only has 24 hours to give that shiny jet an old school Syrian patina. Will they make it in time for the big show?"
