It was developed to counter new American fighters such as the F-15 Eagle and the F-16 Fighting Falcon. The first 12 MiG-29 (nine MiG-29As, three MiG-29UBs) were delivered to Poland in 1989-1990. Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the militaries of a number of former Soviet republics continued to operate the MiG-29. Includes one huge fold-out profile, 76 cm (30 inches) long.
