Mikoyan MiG-29 Russian air superiority fighters first flew in 1977. They remain one of the premier fighter planes of today.
Terms such as light weight, extremely capable, high performing and highly maneuverable are often used to describe the aircraft
The MiG-29 is one of the most heavily exported aircraft of Russia and one of the main fighters of the Indian Air Force.
The aircraft features unfinished landing strip capability enabling it to operate closer to front lines.
The radar system of the MiG-29 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.
A helmet mounted system allows missile tracking that is directed by the pilot's line of sight.
Some claims have been made that the extreme maneuverability of the MiG-29 and its unique weapons systems puts it at an advantage over the American aircraft when they 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. 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.
The aircraft have been seen performing at air shows since 1986.
