00:00An Iranian MiG-29 fulcrum is still flying despite earlier claims that Iran's entire
00:04fighter fleet had been destroyed.
00:06The jet, carrying air-to-air missiles and marked with Iranian Serial 36305, appears
00:12to be conducting a patrol or demonstration flight.
00:14Its presence suggests Iran preserved part of its air force through dispersed basing
00:19and hardened underground facilities.
00:21While the MiG-29 is an aging, fourth-generation fighter, the sortie demonstrates that Iranian
00:26combat aviation remains operational and that reports of the fleet's complete destruction
00:31were most likely overstated.
