Some questions for our European friends:
(a) I have seen a photo of Slovak MiG-29 carrying a Python AAM [1], but I can't access it. Is there such a photo on the web? I would like to post it to a forum, as evidence that the aircraft can really carry this weapon.
(b) Is there any news about the question, whether Slovak 9.12 can employ R-27T missile, and why/why not? It seems odd that it should be able to employ heat-seekers of foreign manufacture, but not Russian.
(c) Did the Slovak MiG-29 receive some special upgrade to use Python?
