Piloto de Combate (Su-25 / MiG-29)
The Fuerza Aérea del Perú operates a Soviet-era and Russian-origin fleet including Su-25 Frogfoot ground attack aircraft and MiG-29 fighters — making Peru one of the few Latin American nations operating Russian combat aircraft. The FAP also operates L-159 ALCA advanced trainers acquired from the Czech Republic. This mixed fleet creates a distinctive maintenance and training environment. Pilot selection enters through the Escuela de Oficiales de la FAP and is highly competitive. FAP pilots have provided close air support in VRAEM counter-narco-terrorist operations. The future fleet transition and Russia sanctions context create institutional uncertainty about long-term platform availability.
