Dmitry Rogozin, director of the Russian space agency Roscosmos, said his agency could "win a little war" on its own during his conversation with Moldovan President Igor Dodon.
"I can say how many aircraft we have. We have 10 fighter planes and three helicopters, three of which are Il-76 [planes], six Tu-134, two An-24, one An-26 and one An-12 ", Rogozin told the Moldovan President.
"But why do you need fighter jets?" Dodon asked.

"[They are used] for the training of cosmonauts. [They are] The 39, Rogozin replied. "In principle, if necessary, we are ready to win a little war," he added jokingly.
As for Moldova, it had 34 MiG-29 fighter jets, but the maintenance of all jets after the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991 was so expensive that it was sold to D & # 39; Other countries such as the United States, Eritrea and Yemen. At present, the country does not have active combat aircraft.
Aero Vodochody is an aerospace company that manufactured the Aero L-39 Albatros. It was the most successful training jet developed so far in Czechoslovakia, but is now based in Odolena Voda, Czech Republic. In 1972, L-39 was chosen as the main training aircraft for the Warsaw Pact countries, including the USSR. The plane is two-seater because trainees fly with an instructor.
"They are pragmatic," Rogozin said of the United States. "If they can not do the same thing cheaper and with higher quality, why reinvent the bike?"
