The Peruvian air force is to issue a request for proposals for the overhaul of 16 RSKMiG-29 Fulcrums. The prime candidates are EADS and RSK, with Belarus's Beltechexport also expected to tender. The work, to include system upgrades and airframe and engine overhauls, is overdue with 10 of the airframes time-expired. Belarus supplied 17 MiG-29s in 1996. These were subsequently upgraded to MiG-29SMT standard. Three others, acquired from Russia, are MiG-29SEs.
