In the Crimea called "pathetic" remaining on the Peninsula to the Ukrainian MiG-29
About ten MiG-29 Ukrainian air force, remaining in the Crimea in 2014, irretrievably lost as a fighting unit, told Last news the Deputy of the state Duma of Sevastopol Dmitry Belik.
After the reunification of the Crimea with Russia in the Peninsula were several dozen Ukrainian courts and about ten in the MiG-29, located at the airbase " Belbek ". All Ukrainian military equipment remaining on the Peninsula are not serviced and have not been repaired since 2014. Russian Soldiers only guard and provide fire safety of Ukrainian military equipment.
According to the Deputy, " the Ukrainian aircraft are on the grounds near the sea, they 5 years without practicing preventative anti-corrosion work, have not run appliances and motors ".
"Today they are not hawks, and lame ducks - the landing gear and the wheels are outdated. At the moment they are cheaper to sell it for scrap than to repair ", - the Deputy added.
However, he ruled out the possibility of using Ukrainian aircraft in the form of donors for the restoration of Russian aviation.
"in principle, it is impossible to take components from the car to the junkyard and put them on a modern armoured car class. Our pilots fly on modern machines, which are periodically served, and anyone's donation, the more Ukrainian, we don't need, " concluded Belik.
