Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-29 Fulcrum Fighter Family
The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-29 is a Soviet-designed fighter family developed for Frontal Aviation and later operated by air forces across several regions. Its compact twin-engine layout, high agility, and integrated air-defense systems made it one of the defining fighters of the late Cold War, while two-seat trainers and export versions extended the design's service life beyond the Soviet period.
