The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-29 (NATO reporting name: Fulcrum) is a Soviet, twin-engine, heavy front-line fighter of the 4th generation with trapezoidal wings. The mere number of over 1000 MiG 29s built between 1977 and 1992 demonstrates the potential capabilities of this aircraft. In fact, it must be included in the group of 3 or 4 most important, currently in service, 4th generation fighters in the world. The MiG-29 was designed in the 1970s as a construction that could match or even surpass the combat capabilities of fighters from the then hostile Western camp. And we must admit that in no way is it inferior to, for example, the F-16 and in many aspects, such as the powerful, twin-engine drive, it surpasses the American competitor. As the MiG-29 was designed to be serviced as quickly as possible, even in the field and by mechanics with minimal experience, any repairs can really be carried out at lightning speed. It is hard to imagine, but 5 mechanics are able to replace and test an engine in less than an hour! The Fulcrum's outstanding capabilities do not stop there. In case of problems with the electric motor, even when fully loaded, it can start using one engine and then fire the other in the air. The permanent armament of the MIG 29 is the 30mm GSh-301 cannon, known for its accuracy. The external nodes can carry AA-10, AA-11 or AA-8 and UB-32-57 air-to-air missiles or the unguided but larger S-8K missiles for engaging ground targets. not only the former Eastern Bloc countries, but also many other users who appreciated its great capabilities. Several versions of this successful fighter were created. The most important of these are, among others, the first mass-produced, namely the MiG-29 (Fulcrum-A) with the S-29 Topaz radar and the OEPrNk-29 optoelectronic system. Another development version is the MiG-29M (Fulcrum-E) with the S-29M Żuk radar with a longer range and a better guidance and targeting system. Instead of the RD-33, more powerful RD-33K engines were also used. A fly-by-wire system was also used. Technical data: length: 17.37 m, wingspan: 11.4 m, height: 4.73 m, maximum speed: 2400 km/h, rate of climb: 330 m/s, maximum range: 2100 km, maximum ceiling 18000 m, armament: fixed - 1 30mm GSh-301 cannon, suspended (version M) - up to 5000 kg of payload.
