Design
The MiG-29B is a highly maneuverable fighter-interceptor originally intended for the point-defense role. It is a downgraded export model of the Soviet MiG-29, and lacks the original's tactical nuclear capability. The IFF and ECM capabilities are also downgraded, ensuring safe sales to non-Warsaw Pact nations. The MiG-29B is known as the Model 9-12B in Mikoyan production.
Fittingly for its tactical air defense role, the Fulcrum does not have any guided munitions capability. Its weapons consist solely of the internal gun, R-27, R-60, and R-73 air-to-air missiles, and a variety of unguided bombs and rockets.
