    before the war they 37 of them, but also Poland and Slovakia gave a lot of them to Ukraine, the thing about the mig-29 is that they were made right before the USSR collapsed which made them outdated real quick

      Yeah but i meant how they even had this many left with Russia ability to bomb everywhere. Were they hiding them in civilian infrastructucture and using roads as runways or something? And Mig 29 isn't even that outdated, it's roughly equivalent to F-15 or whatever EU countries had, if properly modernised.

        yeah, that's why it's outdated, it's not properly modernised

        They were probably spread out and hidden. Don't forget the Mig-29 can operate on roads or dirt runways. It was designed as a frontline rapid response fighter.
