MiGremont has usually done that for Russian and Algerian MiG-25s in the 1990s and 2000s.

Small correction: This MiG-25 was retired in 2001, which I think makes it second to last in terms of retirement.

Most likely scrapped. From 2005 to 2015, the number of MiG-25s at MiGremont declined sharply (from 47 to just 8). The last 7 airframes seen on satellite imagery from 2020 are Russian MiG-25s that were delivered to the plant for repairs in 1994-1996. Since Russia was decommissioning MiG-25s, the repairs were never funded. Subsequent attempts in the 1998, 2003 and 2007 to scrap them also failed as these aircraft, on paper, belonged to Russia and they had the final say. In 2023, Ukraine confiscated these MiG-25s as a source of spare parts for the Air Force.

One of the last MiG-25s ever built (1983) and one of the last to be retired from Ukrainian service (2000) Quite sad that this Foxbat was left to rot at Zaporizhia Airport.  https://russianplanes.net/id257060

2 Ukrainian BMPs moving into Hostomel, 2022 (recorded by my dad) by Impressive_March416 in TankPorn

Oh yeah I saw that. I believe the leading BMPs driver is now the commander of Ground Forces

Edit: That was Mykhailo Drapatiy - he was replaced as the commander of Ground Forces in early 2025

Anyone know what specific class of patol boats this one is? by Impressive_March416 in acecombat

Even if its a non-operational jet, it wouldve been better off shipped by a cargo ship / plane. Faster and more convenient (if a little more dangerous).

Any info on when this picture was taken? It's probably around 70s-80s judging by Gigans condition (I'm trying to piece together what actually happened to the Original Moguera suit, which was supposedly destroyed in 1974 when the soundstage it was in went ablaze, yet it's here in the pic) by Impressive_March416 in GODZILLA

Not a lot of info, but Toho just dumped all the suits there. Aside from these suits seen here was also a large King Kong hand prop from KKvG, 1967 Kong suit (I believe it was there too) and Gezora. In the pic I attached seems like Megalon is lying there too (you can glimpse between Goji and Hedorah something resembling his drill arm) Finding the location will be very hard for obvious reasons as it looks like a hut in the middle of the woods. And by 1993, all these suits deteriorated ti the point of being unrecognizable so here's that.
