The MiG-29 is a state of the art single-seat all-weather air superiority fighter developed in the 1970s by Russia's world famous Mikoyan Gurevich design bureau and becoming operational in 1983 and was given the codename "Fulcrum" by NATO. Since the initial introduction of the MiG-29 the design has been regularly improved, the latest versions being the MiG-29SMT and MiG-29M1/M2.
Surprisingly in 1997, the US purchased 21 aircraft for evaluation and analysis from Moldova, although it has been suggested this was in fact to ensure the aircraft could not be sold to Iran where they could have become a very capable defensive force. The MiG-29 is currently in service with numerous air-forces around the world, it's major users being Algeria, Azerbaijan, Belarus, India, Iran, Kazakhstan, North Korea, Poland, Syria, and finally the two largest users Russia and the Ukraine.
Up to 3,500 kg (7,720 lb) of munitions which can include six mixed air-to-air missiles and S-24, AS-12 or AS-14 ECM Pods
