Syria may take delivery of 12 MiG-29M/M2 fighters by late 2017 under the contract with Russia signed in 2007. It was stated by the CEO of Russian Aircraft Corporation MiG (RAC MiG), Sergey Korotkov, at KADEX-2014, ITAR-TASS reports.

"The assembly of four airframes has been completed. However, the contract was signed earlier and we are not in a hurry", - Korotkov said. Speaking about the delivery dates and the number of jets to be delivered, he confirmed that Syrian air forces should take delivery of 12 MiG-29M/M2 fighters in 2016-2017 under the contract signed in 2007.

Syria paid for MiG-29M2 jets before 2011 and Russia refused to deliver them. MiG-29M2 is an advanced version of MiG-29 which Syria bought in the 1980s. MiG-29M2 is ordered by Egypt and Iraq, two former USSR client states as is Syria.

They say Syria don't have money. Which is true. However, that is not a problem. Russia and Indonesia barter goods for Su-35.

The deal was announced after Indonesia said in August 2017 that it would seek to trade palm oil, coffee and tea for Russian fighter jets, saying it wanted to capitalise on international sanctions on Moscow.
