Soviet-designed fighter aircraft multirole aircraft, with NATO reporting name FULCRUM, which may have fit into a Soviet "high-low" mix; the MiG-29 was the the counterpart to the F-16 Fighting Falcon while the Su-27 (NATO reporting name FLANKER) was the F-15 Eagle equivalent.

Given detailed examinations by Luftwaffe after German reunifications, by all accounts a very good aircraft, with one of the first helmet-mounted infrared sight an especially nasty feature for dogfighting.
