The last flight of the fighters took place at the Malacky-Kuchina air force base during the international air show Slovak International Air Fest (SIAF).

The last flight of the MiG-29 fighter took place in Slovakia. It was a farewell to the planes before their likely departure to Ukraine. The Slovak Air Force reported this on Facebook.

“Farewell, our MiGs. The whole airport is silent. Everyone is waiting for the arrival of our MiG-29s. And the moment has come. There are many tears in the eyes. Many are crying. You will remain in our hearts forever,” said the military .

The last flight of the fighters took place at the Malacky-Kuchina air force base during the international air show Slovak International Air Fest (SIAF).

It is indicated that Slovakian pilots in MiG-29 aircraft flew 20,246 flight hours. They trained 52 pilots.

Recall that talks about the possibility of transferring Slovak MiG-29 to Ukraine have been going on since the beginning of the war against Russia.

And last week it became known that Slovakia is decommissioning its MiG-29s. Instead, the country will receive F-16s from the United States in 2024, and until then Poland and the Czech Republic will guard Slovakia’s skies.


The MiG-29 fighter is a fourth-generation Soviet multipurpose development. The aircraft is designed to destroy all types of air targets with guided missiles and fire from onboard guns in simple and difficult weather conditions, as well as to destroy ground targets.
