I found this photo (probably from some printed aviation or army magazine) with Magic 2 under Slovakian Mig-29 wing. It must be quite an old photo because that particular Mig-29 per tail number was destroyed in a crash in November 2002.
This missile is supposedly
made backwards compatible with the Sidewinder launch hardware so my question is how hard it is to put such hardware on soviet made fighter. Per Wiki Romanian AF uses them till today on their Mig-21 fighters.
Our Slovakian Migs are supposed to be transferred to Ukraine soon and I wonder how hard it is to adjust them to carry western made weapons especially HARM missiles which may play a role in expected oncoming offensive of Ukraine.
