Synopsis

Aimed at aviation enthusiasts all over the world, this is the ultimate ‘hands’on’ guide to Russia’s primary frontline fighter.

The last and most capable of the Soviet interceptors, the MiG-29 closed the technological gap between Soviet and NATO fast jets. After the unification of Germany, the Luftwaffe retained both squadrons of former East German MiG-29s, so our voices ‘from the cockpit’ include veteran German pilots as well as Russians.

Spectacular artwork and photographs support a vivid text that takes you step-by-step through a MiG-29 mission, revealing how its sensors and weapon systems can combine to bring down even Tomahawk cruise missiles.

Line drawings and a cutaway provide the best picture yet of the MiG-29, ideal for modellers too.
