Russian and Syrian Air Force conduct joint air patrols over Syria
The Russian Defence Ministry has reported that the Russian Aerospace Force (VKS) and the Syrian Air Force (SyAF) conducted joint air patrols in Syria.
The aircraft took off from the bases of Hmeymim, Seykal and Dumar, flying over the Goland Heights and the southern frontier. VKS deployed Su-34, Su-35 and an A-50 AWACS aircraft, while SyAF fielded MiG-23 and MiG-29. Note that one of the Syrian Fulcrum could be a 9.13 version donated by Russia in May 2020.

On top of that, MiG-29SMTs were seen in SyAF base T-4, located in Tiyas.
This could be evidence that the aircraft have been donated, as VKS
already deployed them in Syria and has no further interest in acquiring
more. References:
