Russia - Some 70% of Russia's MiG-29 fighters unable to fly

Many of us grew up fearing the Russians, only to find out that their propaganda was regurgitated over and over by our illustrious media.
I don't know if anything has changed; however, we now have more access to information like this.
If, of course, one can trust their illustrious media...

This is from ROA Novosti:

"MOSCOW, February 6 (RIA Novosti) - At least 200 MiG-29 Fulcrum fighters, or 70% of the total in service with the Russian Air Force, are too old to take to the skies, a Russian business daily said on Friday citing military experts.

Following a MiG-29 crash in East Siberia last December, the Defense Ministry admitted for the first time that Russia's MiG-29 fleet was mostly outdated and not capable of performing combat duties."
