Paint Set 7010: UAF Ghost of Kyiv

In 2014, the Ukrainian Air Force (Ukrainian: PSU, Povitrjani Syly Ukrajiny) began using their own gray digital camouflage, developed independently from Russian standards. This camouflage was applied to aircraft at the Lviv State Aircraft Repair Plant, including the Mikoyan MiG-29.

Symbol of Resistance

During the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the MiG-29 with gray digital camouflage became a symbol of Ukrainian resistance. Stories about the "Ghost of Kyiv"—a legendary MiG-29 pilot who reportedly shot down six Russian enemy aircraft in the first 30 hours of the invasion—boosted national morale. Although it was later revealed that the "Ghost of Kyiv" is a myth, this story symbolizes the courage and determination of all Ukrainian pilots.

Gray Digital Camouflage

The gray digital camouflage helped reduce the aircraft's visibility during combat operations. This scheme was first applied in 2014 to various Ukrainian MiG-29s after their repair at the Lviv State Aircraft Repair Plant. Later, this scheme was also applied to other aircraft such as the Sukhoi Su-24, Sukhoi Su-25, and Aero L-39 Albatros.
