Mig-29SMT a Laghouat

Nice :-) Is this one still in Algeria or also returned to Russia like the rest?

Google Translate:
Agréable. Est-il encore en Algérie ou est retourné en Russie comme le reste?

Merci.

This picture was taken in 2006 or 2007 before the cancelation of the contract of SMT.... I think they are assembling the airplanes just after their reception

I don't know how i missed them , great shots of the MiG-29SMT/UBT on the previous pages, many thanks for sharing.

Regarding the SMT , a few days ago i swear i saw a picture somewhere (can't recall where!) of perhaps half a dozen SMTs in a hangar, taken from above, but for the life of me , i can't find that picture again! Anyone knows which picture i'm talking about ? Merci beaucoup!

est ce qu'ils disent qu'ils leurs a fallu deux ans pour les remettre à niveau et qu'ils n'ont pus récupérer qu'une quinzaine qui soit vraiment potable ???

[Palmier Dattier]

Ils disent tout simplement que la base aérienne russe a été fermée pendant deux ans pour travaux et que maintenant cette base aérienne est à nouveau complètement opérationnelle et qu'elle s'est vue adjoindre les MIG 29 smt ex algériens :hadarat:

[Palmier Dattier]

Cela confirme une chose que l'ont sait depuis bien longtemps sur ce forum. Si les russes voient dans les SMT algeriens une des meilleures variantes de MIG 29 ayant existe dans les forces aeriennes russes (au dela des defaillances de malversation constatees sur nos ex appareils), cela veut tout simplement dire que l'AAF exige sur le plan technique le meilleur sinon rien ! MIG MAPO est maintenant au courant !!!

MiG-29 Fraudster Gets Suspended Sentence

05:17 07/06/2013
MOSCOW, June 7 (RIA Novosti) – A Moscow court has given a four-year suspended sentence to the last defendant in the criminal case over deliveries of low-quality equipment for MiG-29 fighters that were rejected by Algeria in 2007, Russia's business daily Kommersant said Friday.

The Moscow city court announced the sentencing for Mikael Kazaryan at a closed session on Thursday. The suspended sentence is a result of a plea bargain between the defendant and the prosecutors.

Criminal charges against Kazaryan, former general director of the Rezon company that sold the MiG Aircraft Corporation outdated equipment using forged certificates and tags, were brought in 2012 as part of a broader case involving several MiG officials and businessmen.

Kazaryan, 58, had initially fled to Armenia but later returned to Russia and surrendered to the authorities, Kommersant said.

He had given a detailed account of his criminal activities and fully admitted his guilt, the paper said citing case materials.

MiG: between Past and Future

Russia’s state arms exporter Rosoboronexport signed a $1.3 bln contract to deliver 28 one-seater MiG-29SMT fighters and six two-seater MiG-29UB combat trainers to Algeria in March 2006 as part of an $8 billion military cooperation agreement.

However, after receiving 15 MiG fighters, Algeria refused further deliveries in May 2007. It then froze all payments under contracts with Russia in October 2007, requiring that Moscow first take back the 15 MiG-29s due to their "inferior quality."

Three Russian businessmen involved in the MiG-29 fraud were convicted by a Moscow court in May, 2012. One of them was sentenced to a 5-year prison term and the other two received hefty fines.

A year earlier, Musail Ismailov, the head of the Aviaremsnab company that supplied MiG with faulty parts, was sentenced to two years in prison while serving a 5.5-year sentence for a fraud involving deliveries of inferior quality equipment to the Polish air force.

A criminal case against former first deputy director general of the MiG Aircraft Corporation Sergei Tsivilev and his deputy, Oleg Fadeyev, was closed in December 2012 as its statute of limitations period had expired.
