A secretive Russian arms deal could be set to save the struggling MiG aircraft company – but the buyer remains unknown. Jul. 20 2016 — 11:18 — Update: 11:18 By Matthew Bodner m.bodner@imedia.ru @mattb0401 After years languishing behind competitors at home and abroad, Russia’s iconic MiG aircraft manufacturer has been thrown a lifeline. The company is now building 46 brand-new MiG-29M fighter jets in a contract reported to be worth at least $2 billion dollars. Yet despite the hints which have appeared in the Russian press over the past year, official confirmation remains elusive. The jets are being built for an unspecified buyer. Only a shareholder’s report released by a MiG component supplier has confirmed that the order is real. The document outlines a deal for 92 engines used in the MiG-29. With two engines in each fighter, the contract corresponds with reports of a 46-fighter contract in the works. Yet the key question remains – who are these fighters for? Forty-six combat jets represents a large arms deal, and one that the MiG company desperately needs. The company has lost several major contracts to both foreign and domestic competitors over the past two decades, and is struggling to keep up with the competition. It has also failed to deliver on signed contracts to major Russian customers such as India. “Russia has not formally announced the deal because of previous delays on contracts. When you announce a deal and something goes wrong, the damage to your image as a reliable procurer is enormous,” says Yury Barmin, an expert on Russian foreign affairs. Who’s Buying? The leading candidate for the 46 MiGs is Egypt. Speculation is largely fueled by enigmatic statements from Russian defense industry officials at trade shows and press conferences over the past year. The official line is that the MiGs are going to North Africa, and that the exact customer cannot yet be named. Russia’s Vedomosti newspaper in May last year reported that the jets were going to Egypt as part of a $3.5 billion arms deal signed by President Vladimir Putin and Egyptian President Abdel el-Sisi in April 2015. Any potential deal with Egypt would make good, geopolitical sense. Moscow is working to solidify its role as partner and arms dealer to Sisi’s government: taking advantage of a void left by the United States, which began distancing itself from Egypt after Sisi came to power in 2014. Given that Russia’s export catalogue amounts to some $14 to $15 billion annually, a $2 billion MiG contract – which appears to be scheduled to be fulfilled over the course of 2016 to 2018 – is a big win for Russia. |

lionel4power: is it me or this article is taking us backwards? I thought "Egypt" was confirmed. Interesting why the Migs would be secret for Egypt when all other deals are declared. ... ... If its true that the deal is secretive, are we looking at Iran? |

Henry24o:well from the article it appears that Egypt might not be the ONLY customer for the new MIGs, from the WHOLE article which I didn't paste here because of the lenght, the writer assumes that the UNKNOWN customer is from Africa. so your guess is as good as mine as to who the AFRICAN country might be... as of now... right now this EGYPT AIR FORCE DOES NOT HAVE ANY MIG 29s 1 Like |

lionel4power: We know Egypt is ordering 46 MIG-29M and MIG-29M2, it's not new news. I can even post photos of Egyptian MIG-29Ms currently been built by MIG design bureau. Algeria rejected the MIG-29, Sudan cannot afford the MIG-29M at the moment either. The other countries fly American planes. They are the only customer according to Janes defence. |
