The exact number of MiG-29s supplied to the YAF is not clear to us but in Google Earth footage of 21 Fulcrums is proof of their delivery. Some of them, if not most, were upgraded to the state-of-the-art SMT-version.

The south-east side of Sana'a houses the HQ of 128 Squadron which is operating multiple different helicopter types. This unit has detachments on Al Anad, Al Hudaydah, Taiz and Aden and operates the Kamov Ka27/28 shown here.

The unit that operates the Su-22's from the main air base of the YAF in Sana'a is 26sq. They are a great sight!
