Ukraine’s Air Power Boost? MiG-29s in Azerbaijani Colors Cause Discontent in Moscow
Friday, 5 September 2025 () Amid the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, reports have surfaced that the Ukrainian Armed Forces may have acquired Soviet-era MiG-29 fighter jets previously owned by Azerbaijan. If confirmed, analysts warn this development could carry serious consequences for Russia. Evidence Points to Azerbaijani Jets in Ukraine On September 4, the American analytical portal The War Zone reported that photographs circulating on social media showed a Ukrainian MiG-29 painted in colors typical of the Azerbaijani Air Force—blue, gray, and violet-gray tones. The aircraft appeared armed with R-27 and R-73 air-to-air missiles, suggesting combat readiness. While the publication did not rule out the possibility of falsification, it noted that no convincing evidence of forgery has yet been presented. According to TWZ, Azerbaijan purchased around 15 used MiG-29s from Ukraine in 2007, which underwent major overhauls in Lviv from 2017 onward. It remains unclear whether the aircraft were officially transferred back to Kyiv, sold, or returned free of charge.
