Moldova has 6 MiG-29 fighters based at the air base in the village of Marculesti, in the northern part of the country. According to official data, all of them are in working condition, but the planes have not taken off for a long time.
In the first days of the war, Ukraine turned to Moldova with a request to sell or transfer MiG-29s on its balance sheet, European Pravda sources report.
There are 6 MiG-29 fighters in Moldova, based at the air base in the village of Marculesti, in the northern part of the country. According to official data, all of them are in working condition, but the planes have not taken off for a long time. Chisinau tried to sell them for a long time, but the auction failed.
However, the publication’s sources claim that Kyiv, in response to its request, received a categorical refusal from the Moldovan government, with the explanation “we do not want to irritate Russia.” Moldova believed that the Russian Federation would consider this a violation of the principle of neutrality.
Recall that Moldova banned the St. George ribbon, as well as the symbols Z and V, which Russian troops use during the invasion of Ukraine.
