A MiG-29 is a fourth generation jet fighter aircraft that was designed and developed by the Soviet Union during the Cold War. It is also known as the “Fulcrum” and was supposed to be a match or the American F-16s and F-18s.
This airplane was developed when the Soviet Union learned that the U.S Air Force had developed the F-15 Eagle. Afraid that the American fighters would be more advanced the Soviet Union put a lot of resources into developing new aircraft fighters that could be a match for the American F-X series. The MiG 29 entered service in 1983 and it was spotted by American satellites during test runs. The aircraft is still in use in the Russia military and by other countries that bought it.
