Mikoyan MiG-29 aircraft first flew in 1977.  They remain one of the premier fighter aircraft of today.
 
Terms such as light weight, extremely capable, high performing and highly maneuverable are often used to describe the Mikoyan MiG-29. 
 
The Mikoyan MiG-29 is one of the most heavily exported aircraft of Russia and one of the main fighter aircraft of the Indian Air Force.
 
The Mikoyan MiG-29 features unfinished landing strip capability enabling it to operate closer to front lines.   
 
The Mikoyan MiG-29 radar system is capable of simultaneously engaging up to ten enemy aircraft at distances of up to 150 miles.  Also present is the ultra high resolution tracking of ground targets enhanced with look down, shoot down capability.

Some claims have been made that the extreme maneuverability of the Mikoyan MiG-29 and its unique weapons systems puts it at an advantage over the American F-15 when the aircraft are within visual range of each other.  It is said that the American aircraft can only lock its missiles on to targets within a narrow field in front of the aircraft. The Mikoyan MiG-29 pilots can lock their missiles on to targets by swiveling their heads up to 45 degrees on either side of the nose of the aircraft.  
 
Mikoyan MiG-29 aircraft have been seen performing at air shows since 1986.
 
Indian Mikoyan MiG-29 aircraft were used as bomber escorts over Kargil and to counter encroachment into Indian air space by Pakistani aircraft.  
 
Yugoslavian Air Force Mikoyan MiG-29 aircraft were used against NATO aircraft in 1999 resulting in the loss of a number of Mig-29 aircraft.   
 
Mikoyan MiG-29 aircraft served with the German Air Force from 1988 through 2003. 
 
Poland has employed the most Mikoyan MiG-29 aircraft of any NATO country since 2003 with a total of 44 aircraft.
 
The United States purchased a total of 21 Mikoyan MiG-29 aircraft from Moldova in 1997 under international treaty.  The Mikoyan MiG-29 aircraft were carefully evaluated and now many reside at museums and exhibits throughout the United States.
