Re: MiG-29 - Mr. Chiber

According to Kargil 1999 by Sanjay Badri-Maharaj (and also in the link posted by Luc Vervoort) FlLt Gaurav Chibber only acquired a lock on two Pakistani F-16s and drove them away, while escorting Mig-27 strike package.
Looks like translation/interpretation error that echoed through the internet...

Re: MiG-29 - Mr. Chiber

Hello Goran,

this website
https://migflug.com/jetflights/the-c...rently-in-use/
indicates the MiG-29 scored a total of only 6 kills (by 2018): 2 Brothers in Rescue incident (Cuba), 3 Ethiopian-Eritrean War (Eritrea), 1 Georgian border violation 2008 (Russia). Are the dates and the names of the scorers known?

Cheers,

Michael
