Russian MiG-29 Collides with Pole and Airfield Fence in Armenia

Combat aircraft not seriously damaged

During the transportation of a MiG-29A fighter of the Aerospace Forces (VKS) of Russia from the Erebuni airfield in Armenia, an element of the rigid coupling failed, causing the aircraft to roll back. The video appeared online.

The aircraft itself, as well as the fence, were not seriously damaged, and the transportation process continued. Fortunately, the MiG-29 did not crash at full speed into the Ural truck standing behind it, and that when ramming the fence, there was no cliff from the bridge to the highway or into the river below it.

It is likely that the MiG-29 was being sent for decommissioning, as the specific fighter with tail number 15 red was last seen in the sky back in 2022.

The MiG-29 is a multi-role front-line supersonic fourth-generation fighter developed by the MiG Design Bureau. It is the first fighter in the world to combine effectiveness in maneuverable air combat with the ability to attack with medium-range and close-range missiles.

Earlier, www1.ru reported that the first video of the MiG-31B interceptor flight at an altitude of 22 km appeared.
