This decoy L-18 (MiG-29B) was built in 1999 during the Kosovo War. It was designed by Lt Col Ivanov, a pilot of 204.FAR and constructed by woodworking company Vojvodina. A total of 6 were built and 5 of them were destroyed in NATO airstrikes. This one survived a hit by an air-to-ground missile because it did not explode. It was damaged but not destroyed. In 2013 it arrived at the Muzej Vazduhoplovstva Beograd and by the end of 2017 it was fully restored.
