Comments

Ukraine have received at least 43 AIM-9M (early 1990's variant) from Canada and set to receive more unconfirmed (no pictures of loadouts) but assumed to be operational on SU-27 and Mig-29 as an optional loadout More to be delivered (most likely AIM-9M/L) maybe even the new AIM-9X must have been pre-modified prior to delivery to be compatible with IRST and FCR of mig-29 and su-27

Please consider adding (I understand the lack of photo evidence) but keep tabs on this ticket if you can't add as a loadout as of now
