These Migs planes arrived in Zagreb (Croatia, former SFR Yugoslavia) at the end of 1989 in
order to be repaired. With the beginning of the war in Croatia 1991, during the withdrawal
of Yugoslav air forces from Croatia, these plains were transported to Moma Stanojlovic
institute in Belgrade. |
Due
to war and sanctions in Iraqi it was impossible to get the plains back to Iraqi. Mig-23
and four Migs-21 bis have been in Yugoslavia for almost nine years and they cannot fly.
The future of these planes is uncertain. |
