The Mig 29 Fulcrum is of a comparable size to the F/A 18 Hornet. It first became operational in early 1985 and since then has been exported to a number of countries. About 345 of these counter air fighters are in service with the Russian tactical air forces and 110 with the naval forces. The Mig 29 has a high level of manouverability and the coherent pulse dopplar radar (which can track up to 10 targets simultanieously at 69km) combined with a laser range finder and infra-red search and track (IRST) lijnked to the Helmet Mounted Sight (HMS) make it an excellent close in fighter.
The two engines on the Mig29 are the Kilmov/Sarkisov RD-33 each providing 18 000 pounds of thrust. Even if one engine is dammaged and providing no thrust the Mig 29 is able to accelerate and start on the one engine. Also the engines have proven their ability to take rough handeling with manouvers such as tail slides which were performed by Anatolij Kvocur at Farnbourough in 1988.
The Mig29M has addressed many of the fighters shortcommings. Unfortunately due to the economic position in Russia Mig-Mapo has not had any orders for this excellent aircraft. The internal fuel storage has been incresed dramatically; is controlled by quadruplex fly-by-wire; glass cockpit; new terrain following Zhuk radar; improved engines with reduced smoke trails, better efficency and more power; new IRST, added TV; longer canopy, a wider, longer and less curved dorsal spine; bulged wing tips with fore and aft Radar Warning Recievers (RWR), eight under wing hardpoints (as opposed to six on earlier versions); aluminium-lithium center section; and finally larger, sharper, repositioned wing roots which create stronger vortices and modifications to extend back the center of gravity limit for relaxed stability whcih increases the max angle of attack giving more manouverability and better efficency. As you can see the Mig29M is a much imporved aircraft.
