RECORDS
Russian “watch” blogger Fighterbomber, widely known in small communities, published a photo of a MiG-29 dashboard with altitude readings of 22,500 meters. According to the technical specifications, the ceiling of the airplane is not more than 18,000 meters.

Back in 1995 test pilot Roman Taskaev on his MiG-29 climbed to an altitude of 27460 meters. But there was a nuance: at that time it was a plane prepared just for the record - removed equipment, weapons and incomplete refueling.
But today it was an ordinary combat MiG-29 that reached such an altitude.
