MiG-29 is a fourth generation fighter jet that was designed by the Soviet Union to carry out air supply due to its air superiority. It was developed in the 1970s and started operating in 1983. The MiG-29 Fulcrum, also known as Tochka Opori in Russian, was built with the intention of becoming the single-seat supersonic. It can withstand all types of weather, carry out air superiority, and may be the last fighter produced by the Mikoyan Design Bureau.
The main reason for the MiG-29 is to dismantle air targets from a distance of 60 to 200 kilometers across all altitudes, profiles, under any weather and conditions. It has advanced versions capable of carrying out air-ground operations. This makes it possible to optimize attacks on static and moving targets when movements are guided.
There are developments that have been carried out on the MiG-29 to meet the goal of a Light Frontline Fighter Project. This included the new operational requirement to replace MiG-21 and MiG-23 to improve air defense air forces. It led to the production of light fighters to increase operations under air superiority.
The first operational unit took place in August 1983. Since then, further multi-role upgrades have been made through the MiG-29M prototypes. One of the advances has been in the two suspended engines that have variable inputs. It had a design that could support 9G, Pulse-Doppler multimode radar, fire control, and electronic warfare systems.
MiG-29 has turbojet engines, is very powerful, has a mass ratio and a great aerodynamic shape to improve visibility from the cockpit. The jet camera performs moves and strategies or aerial stunts like inverted flight, hammerhead, spin, loop, and low pass, among others. You can experience aerobatic packages with Mig 29s from the various aviation companies for a once in a lifetime experience. It has full cockpit displays and instrumentation that act as a guide when flying the plane.
MiG-29 operates by moving up to a maximum altitude, then the fighter jet descends to an altitude of 5 and 6 km. When you reach this altitude, the pilot starts showing the aerobatics of him. Aerobatics are performed within a wide area in the sky to allow for proper performance. This can be done as a form of air show. During this time, you must communicate with the pilot in case it is necessary to modify his programs. The flexibility of the jet allows you to adjust your program based on how you feel.
