Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-29 Fulcrum and its versions
The MiG-29, in the NATO code Fulcrum, was a response to a new generation of American fighter aircraft of the "light" category, ie types F-16 and YF-17 (from which later after major changes to the project became a slightly larger F / A-18), required in the specification for the bankruptcy for a new fighter aircraft from 1969.
