Not a MiG-29A but SE. I read that Sudan proved 3 combat aircraft to the mission I wonder why the MiG and not their Su-24s or Su-25s? The MiG-29s will be limited in the Air to ground roll.

Please be more careful when posting pictures of an ongoing conflict a lot of yours aren't current. While I haven't checked every single one I recognized those two. The first is from 2012 the second one showing the Saudi F-15 is from 1992! Some of the others are from 2014. Try to post captions which not only convey necessary context concerning what is depicted but probably even more important also provide vital information pertaining place and time.
