Unlike the MiG-29 the MiG-21s did not fly that day. Some aircraft were in long time storage. Neither the MiG-21MF were in flyable condition ...

... nor the US ...

... and UM trainers.

The Slovak MiG-21 fleet at a glance. Eleven MiG-21 are said to be operational.

The stored MiG-21R ...

... F-13s and Ms have scrap value only. They were not or only for a short time flown by the Slovak Air Force.
