The existing 16 single- and two dual-command MiG-29s of the Rumanian Air Force are up for sale (article in 'Adevarul' newspaper, in Rumanian only):

Funny, the article is illustrated with a MiG-21 photo.

As politics are much more important than the price and quality of the military equipment, I think we will witness the continuation of the shrinking of the sales markets for Russian weaponry.
Romania is just a piece in all this world puzzle. Worse for the Russians, they sold shares from their own military factories, in some cases losing the decision control.

Not to go off topic but, speaking of Russian plane sales, there was an article in my local news paper about people in Texas buying Mig 15s and Su-2? trainers and flying them around here for fun.

There are 16 private owned jets and even a jet training course for civilians now. They said the jets sell for around $200,000. The only rules by the gov't are that the arms be removed.

I bet it's a hell of a sight for the F-15's flying around Bush's ranch here in Waco!

I remember an actress who some years ago paid 2.5 million dollars for an operational American jet fighter just to install it as an exhibit in her garden.
