The '''MiG-29''', known to Western operators as the "Fulcrum," is a Soviet-built air superiority fighter. It is a widely exported aircraft, used by more than 20 countries, among whom are [[Iraq]], [[Iran]], [[North Korea]], and [[Cuba]]. At shorter ranges, it is equal to the [[F-15]], but at ranges of eight miles or more, the F-15 and [[F-18]] are superior.
The [[Department of Defense]] acquired 21 "Fulcrums" from [[Moldova]] after learning that Iran had inspected the aircraft and were attempting to purchase them. Fourteen of the aircraft were the advanced "C" version, which carry a radar jammer.
The MiG-29 program was begun in 1984 as a equivalent to the new Western [[F-18]] and [[F-15]].
