Designed as a point air-defense fighter, the export 9.12A variant pairs a capable radar and an Infrared Search and Track (IRST) system with an agile platform and deadly weapons. The result is a machine that lives for the merge, yet remains lethal in beyond-visual-range engagements.[/p][p]Why does the Fulcrum matter?[/p][p]Since its introduction, the MiG-29A became a cornerstone of many Cold War and post-Cold War air forces. In capable hands, the Fulcrum can be a deadly opponent, even to other modern 4th generation fighters. Upon the fall of the Iron Curtain and exposure of western fighter pilots to the Fulcrum, it was soon discovered what a powerful opponent it could be in-close given its R-73 “Archer’ and HMS combination. In DCS, the Fulcrum will provide a particularly deadly adversary in Cold War scenarios just employing semi-radar active homing and infrared guided missiles.[/p][p]The MiG-29A is operated by Russia, Poland, Bulgaria, former East Germany/Germany (later transferred to Poland), Czechoslovakia/Czech Republic/Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Moldova, former Yugoslavia/Serbia-Montenegro, India, Bangladesh (export 9.12B), Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Mongolia, North Korea, Myanmar, Syria, Iran, Iraq, Algeria, Egypt, Sudan, Azerbaijan, Yemen, Eritrea,Cuba; and the United States acquired a small number for evaluation and adversary training. Many of these liveries are included in DCS.[/p][p]Early Access Highlights[/p]- [p]Fully interactive cockpit built from 3D laser scans and photogrammetry with precise switchology and labeling.[/p][/*]
