+1 ! One more Su-24M restored and upgraded for Ukrainian Air Force this week. Currently it must complete few test flights, after it this aircraft will be painted in pixel camo and be ready for usual duty.

DETAILS - http://militaryaviation.in.ua/uk/2017/0 ... -1-su-24m/

I wouldn't be surprised if this was getting parts from that Mi-8 that defected from Russia. IIRC they were carrying Su-24 parts.

  Two planes publicly presented in flight, are ex-Danish #80-3596 and #80-3599, according to c/n appeared on photo:
  
• Hornet's comment - https://x.com/hornetysfs/status/1820115366061945249

  80-3596 and 80-3599
  ex-RDAF F-16 (E-596 and E-599)
  other F-16s (that are standing during presentation - ed.) are the F-16 ADF model, there is no operator in Europe now.
  Maybe ground training frames?

  Some adds that "ADF seems to be non-airworthy ground trainers or decoys".
  So, at least 2 airworthy + 2 ADF (unknown state or decoy) has been presented.
