Previously, it was planned to modernize the MiG-29 in one of the countries, but it would cost tens of millions of dollars.

Yury Ignat, a spokesman for the Air Force Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, said that it was theoretically possible to modernize Soviet aircraft to Western standards, but it would cost a lot of money and take too much time. . He said this on the air of the telethon.

“We found a way to install HARM missiles, our fighters have been using them for several months, which hit the enemy’s air defenses. The missile was installed on a Soviet fighter, it did not have all the functionality that could it has if it is Launched from the F-16. It will be many times better, work better, be more accurate and destroy more air defense systems,” said Ignat.

According to him, the reconstruction of missiles is not a simple process. In the past, it was planned to upgrade the MiG-29 in one of the countries, but it would cost tens of millions of dollars for just one aircraft and would take too much time. That is, it is theoretically possible to modernize Soviet aircraft – to replace the on-board system, to adapt them to Western weapons. However, no one will do this.

“The equipment is physically old and even Slovakia and Poland have not invested such funds. There has been little modernization of the aircraft, the communication system has been somewhat adapted to NATO standards, GPS navigation, a friend or foe system,” Ignat said.

At the same time, according to him, it was not a significant modernization for the wartime.

Recall that the head of aviation of the Air Force Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Brigadier General Sergei Golubtsov, said that Ukrainian pilots can master Western fighters in less than six months.

It was earlier reported that Slovakia donated MiG-29 fighter jets to Ukraine.
