The Slovakian Ministry of Defence has announced that all of its MiG-29 fighter jets will be converted to digital fractal camouflage, using a pattern developed by HyperStealth Biotechnology Corp. The three color (Blue, Medium Gray, Light Blue Gray) Digital Thunder camouflage pattern effectively conceals aircraft for ground, sea, overcast and blue sky. First used on military personnel uniforms, digital fractal camouflage patterns are increasingly being seen applied to military vehicles. The patterns are designed to fool the human brain into perceiving depth, creating a 3-D optical illusion to help break up the shape of the object being camouflaged. 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 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
