MIG - 29 is one of the advanced combat airplanes in the Russian Air Force. It was designed for gaining the air superiority. MIG- 29 "Fulcrum" aircraft was put into service in 1985. Being one of the most advanced airplanes in the world, it has turbojet engines, possesses an advantageous proportion of mass and power, an excellent aerodynamics and a wonderful view from the cockpit. All these above characteristics make the aircraft maximum effective in an aerial combat. Comparable on size and assigned tasks with the American F-16 and F/A-18 fighters, the MIG - 29 is presently in the service of 23 countries of the world.
The MiG-29 aircraft boasts: High combat effectiveness; Outstanding agility; High reliability and flight safety; Easy operation and low DOC.
The integrated fire control system includes the radar fire control system, optronic (IRST) system and helmet-mounted target designation system.
The contemporary weapon system includes the R-27R1 and R-73E air-to-air missiles, rockets, bombs and a built-in gun.

MiG-31 Foxhound is probably the best Russian Air-Defense fighter with long-range missiles and highly advanced radar. As one of the later models following a long line of successful Soviet- manufactured aircraft, the Mig-31 Foxhound is an all-weather interceptor plane which entered service in Russia possibly as early as 1976. Touted as the forerunner to the MiG-23, Su-15, and the MiG-25, the MiG-31 Foxhound "B" was endowed with the capacity for two fliers, supersonic velocity close to three times the speed of sound, dual turbofan afterburners, and folding wings. Its aerodynamic design includes a high degree of slope and twin outward cantered fins. As a highly refined aircraft, the current versions of the MiG-31 have introduced many technical innovations to its various combat theatres.
