Ukraine's reliance on aging Soviet-era MiG-29 fighter jets has become a glaring vulnerability in the face of Russia's advanced precision weaponry. In 2024, multiple MiG-29s were destroyed by tools such as the Zala Lancet loitering munition and Iskander missiles, highlighting the challenges of maintaining an outdated fleet amid modern warfare. The scarcity of spare parts, limited pilot readiness, and exposed airbases further complicate Ukraine’s defense strategy. While Western allies focus on providing new aircraft like F-16s, the interim dependence on legacy systems underscores the urgent need for tactical innovation and upgraded capabilities to counter Russia's sophisticated military technology.
