Your answer is most likely a big NO......Armenian military budget has other priorities, unfortunately.

Countries with weaker economies than Armenia have been buying mig-29s lately

Remember this ?


Lebanon Glad about Free Russian MiG-29 Fighters, but Wants Helicopters Instead
26.02.2010

Lebanon is grateful for Russia’s MiG-29 fighter jets, which Russia promised to give to the Mideastern country as a gift. However, Lebanese officials wonder whether the country really needs them. Lebanon tries to find out if Russia could replace the fighters with something else.
Lebanese President Michel Suleiman, who is currently visiting Russia, said that Lebanon would have to evaluate its technical opportunities to understand where the jets could be deployed and decide if Lebanese pilots and specialists would be ready to service the Russian aircraft.
Moscow announced its intention to deliver ten fighter jets to Lebanon free of charge in December of 2008. It was said that the jets would arrive in the country in 2010. One Mig-29 costs approximately $30 million. The gift therefore totals $300 million.
The Lebanese president stated that the Russian initiative showed a very positive influence on the morale of the Lebanese army against the background of the informal embargo in the world to deliver military hardware to Lebanon.
“Special committees of the two countries are investigating the issues of the delivery of the planes and decide whether they are needed in Lebanon,” the Lebanese president said.
Russia and Lebanon also try to find out an opportunity to replace the MiG fighters with something else.
“Maybe, the Lebanese would master a different model of the Russian aircraft faster and easier,” Suleiman said.
He added that Lebanon considered other planes or helicopters as an alternative.
“We need combat helicopters indeed. Most likely, helicopters will be our choice,” Michel Suleiman said.
Speaking about the issues of the regulation of the conflict in the Middle East, Suleiman said that Lebanon was expecting Russia’s assistance at this point too.
The president of Lebanon also spoke about the disarmament of Hezbollah, a non-governmental armed organization.
“The members of Hezbollah are our citizens. The question of arms is quite solvable. They do not carry arms openly. Of course, the arms will be left in Lebanon, for the governmental army. However, it will happen only after there is no threat to the country,” he said.

FOR the first, we need to change the idea of our air forces to get Fighter jets.

Right now the role of our air forces is to attack enemy on the ground and defend our ground forces from air. We will not have any use for Jets. Right now we are planning to get Yak130 and modernize our Su25s.

The Russian Aerospace Defence Forces: Russia will not build a new radar station in Azerbaijan

Russia will not build a new Voronezh type radar station in the place of Daryal radar station located in Gabala, Azerbaijan and does not consider it expedient to build such systems abroad, said Deputy Commander of the Aerospace Defence Major General Anatoly Nestechuk, APA reports quoting RİA Novosti.

Why you think I blame Russia....they do not want us to have Mig-29s. They want us to stay only defensive and not grow stronger by liberating our lands.
