Read it again. Unissued airframes from earlier builds, never completed. Does that mean used to you?

"Unissued airframes from earlier builds, never completed."

Technically, this type of component is classified as 'NOS' = New, Old Stock.

No, but this does:

airframes from old MiG-29s that had been languishing in open storage at the Lukhovitsy factory.

That means they've been sitting outdoors, very likely corroding.

They may even have used airframes built for Iraq, way back in the late 1980s.

That means "used" to me.
