Damn, if the guy can get Russian MIGs to support US troops, is there anything he can’t do??

LOL, you’re the kid who finds a dump truck load of manure in the driveway and starts digging, saying “oh boy, there’s a pony in here somewhere!”.

There is a commercial company that offers military adversary training using foreign jets, including MiG-29s in Soviet/Russian markings.

https://air-usa.com/aircraft

So, technically, the MiG-29 in the campaign ad could marybe, possibly be a US -owned and operated aircraft.

But the more truthful answer probably is that the production team was on deadline and someone was not as careful as they should have been grabbing images from the archives/off of the Internet.

Not the first time it has happened. Won’t be the last.

Germany inherited some MiG-29’s from the former GDR upon unification. I believe Poland has some too. So there are or were MiG-29’s in NATO and the USAF used to train against them. Probably if you go out to some of the desert training ranges you’d see one or 2 sporting US markings.
