Last night, during the transportation of the Russian Aerospace Forces MiG-29A fighter from the Erebuni airfield, a rigid coupling element failed, causing the aircraft to roll back at about 2:15 and crash into an iron pole on Arshakunyats Avenue, then into a fence. The aircraft itself, as well as the fence, were not seriously damaged, and the transportation process soon continued. Probably, the MiG-29 was being decommissioned, since this fighter with the tail number 15 red was last seen in the sky in 2022.
