R-13M/13M1 and R-24R/T on MiG-29s?

[PhantomHans]

Just curious but has there been any evidence of the use of older AAMs on MiG-29 series aircraft?

I always wondered this as there are many third world nations (DPRK...etc...) with large stocks of older Soviet built hardware, and with the crazy stuff that Iran has done (Soviet AAMs or US made SAMs hung on F-14s, even if only for show) was there ever any usage of older Soviet AAMs with newer platforms?  Things like MiG-21/23 era weapons like the R-13 and R-24 series hung on MiG-29s?

That's all I had ever seen it carry in photos.  I was hoping people in here would know for sure.

I wondered if any of its 3rd world users had ever been forced to bolt on older weapons though.

Is there any evidence Magic-2s were actually operational (or at least fired) on MiG-29s? You'll often see a bunch of photos of weapons being mounted onto aircraft, but that's about it.
Sort of a cool concept with mounting western AAMs to fulcrums.

This aircraft in particular was wired the fire the missile. Their is a key.aero topic where they mention

But what we've been saying is that it is simple in relative, not absolute terms. When you've got a large and experienced engg. and support structure, it should'nt be such a problem. You already know that the Slovaks integrated the Magic-2 with the MiG-29 (no MIL-STD-1553B), quite easily. We did forget one thing though - an appropriate supply of liquid nitrogen for the seeker. The pylon interface may need to have been tweaked to get it to properly get the supply from the master pylon and the pressure may need to be adjusted for a different missile.
