Hm. I guess if the Russians basically stopped maintaining most of their MiG-29s after the Soviet Union collapsed, that would explain why they had to scrap so many of them. I wonder why the Germans offloaded theirs so fast (IIRC, they sold almost all of them to Poland). It's not like they were replaced right away, 1-for-1 by, the Eurofighter Typhoon.
I also read somewhere that India lent a couple of MiG-29s to the Israelis. I too would really like to see a MiG-29 souped up by the Israelis.
