Remarks
Two Yemen unified in 1990, but soon war was started - South Yemen (ex. Democratic Republic of Yemen) demand a "divorce". In 1994 Yemen buy 4 MiG-29 from Moldova, but only 2 of them fight against South Yemen, who loaned 12 MiG-29 from ... Moldova (in 1997 returned to owner). Four MiGs remain in Yemen (Al Rayan base).
Looks that Yemen is one of the few country having MiG-29SMT in version 9-18, rebuilded from airframes 9-12 of the ordinary MiGs-29. See MiG-29MST 9-18 prototype from the year 2003 to compare (note a type of camouflage also).
