A Soviet MiG-29UB fighter trainer, painted white and carrying the red number 64, has been filmed in the United States. The two-seat aircraft was parked near hangars while its RD-33 turbojet engines underwent a check. Although the engines were running, the fighter remained stationary instead of taxiing toward the runway. The footage was published by the Voevoda Veshchaet channel.

The aircraft was built in 1989 and initially served with the Soviet Air Force. Following the collapse of the USSR in 1991, Ukraine claimed the fighter as its own. In 2005, an American billionaire purchased the MiG-29UB and arranged for its transportation to the United States.

The aircraft subsequently changed owners several times but remained airworthy. Despite its age, the Soviet fighter continues to fly and regularly appears at air shows.

This particular MiG-29UB is far from the only Soviet-built fighter to have reached American soil. Ukraine sold two additional aircraft of the same type to US buyers, while Kyrgyzstan supplied another two. Moldova, however, accounted for the largest shipment, delivering 21 combat aircraft to the Pentagon.

Many of these Soviet fighters are now held in private collections. However, their use in the United States is not limited to air shows and private aviation. According to some reports, certain aircraft are also deployed during military exercises, where they play the role of an opposing force.

There have also been reports of a Russian MiG-29 operating over the famous Area 51 facility. The fighter was repeatedly spotted flying above the site and was reportedly involved in programs aimed at developing advanced air-defense weapons.
