In addition to the above information, Lasatania is currently looking for a buyer for four of its five Tu-128 Fiddler long-range fighter squadrons. Offers should be posted below.

Drabikstan is interested in purchasing the four Tu-128s although we have some reservations about the maintenance costs involved due to the age of these aircraft.

What is your asking price?

Well, its four squadrons, totally 48 aircraft, though we are retaining a squadron for testing and spares if need be.. The aircraft are still airworthy and have only just been retired from service..
