Descripton
As a response for the American 'F-X' project, the Soviet Union starts to develop their new fighters family, to replace their old MiG-21 and MiG-23 planes. The 'Prouct 9' designated MiG-29A was developed by the Mikoyan design bureal in 1974, and flew for the first time in 1977. The Soviet VVS received the first units in 1983. The Fulcrum's design ensured great maneuverability and capacity for close combat.The MiG-29 has significantly improved the results of BVR (Beyond Visual Range) aerial combat and initiated the use of high-precision weapons against surface targets.
