The MiG-29SMT is an upgraded version of the MiG-29, a Russian multirole fighter. It features improved avionics, a modernized cockpit with digital displays, and extended flight range due to additional fuel tanks on its spine. The SMT can carry a wider array of weapons, including precision-guided munitions for air-to-air and air-to-ground missions. Enhanced radar improves target detection and tracking capabilities.
Aircraft #777 began life as an early model MIG-29 9-12 and remained with the MiG Bureau as a test aircraft. In 2005, it was one of two airframes that were rebuilt as prototypes for the MiG-29SMT program.
Designed to help the Soviet Union attain air superiority, the MiG-29 fighter was first flown on October 6th, 1977. The MiG-29, known as the "Fulcrum," has a high-mounted bubble canopy and twin jet engines with diagonal-shaped air intakes and large exhausts. Its tapered, swept-back wings and boom-mounted tail fins give it its classic look. Armed with medium and short-range missiles and unguided weapons for ground and sea-surface targets, the MiG-29's sight is a helmet-mounted system-the pilot chooses his targets by looking at them. Even today the Fulcrum remains a potent adversary, and will remain in service for at least another decade. © Copyright 2003-2025 The Flying Mule, Inc.
