Proposals for upgrading Ukrainian MiG-29s in the late 90s

At the end of the 90s Ukraine looked at a possible upgrade of it's MiG-29. Three companies submitted proposals:

- Russkaya Avionika (Russia)
- Sagem (France)
- IAI/LAHAV (Israel)

The table shows a summary of requested changes and proposals by the companies. Russkaya Avionika had the advantage of working with RSK MiG, the official manufacturer. This was an advantage when structural work was required (adding pylons/extra fuel tanks).

Nothing was ever heard of the upgrade. Later on Ukraine settled with the more modest MU1.
