I'm not sure, but could the blue-grey aircraft be a MiG-29K Fulcrum-D (the ship-borne fighter)?

The grey-green aircraft (blue ?06, maybe 506???) could be a MiG-29M Fulcrum-E.

Never seen a Sue live, so MiGs it is then. Just a very quick look of what I've got:

here is a mig-21R

mig-21-1.jpg

are you sure it's an R?

yeah it does carry the recon pod on the center station but pods can be changed IIRC, while one of the most visible external modifications to R version was small "bullet-like" pods at the wingtips, which are not present on the example of that pic...

You can also identify the MiG-21R by the missing aoa vanes on the pitotube.

I personally checked the constructionnumber of this aircraft and can confirm it is positively a MiG-21R, indeed missing the RWR pods on the wingtips!

It's not NATO compatible, and the upkeeping is extremely expensive compared to the new Gripens which are NATO compatible. As Hungary is member of NATO, it has to keep up to the requirements.
