Battlefield 2 MiG-29 Fulcrum: The MiG-29 Fulcrum is the newest and most technologically advanced fighter in Russia’s inventory. Developed to counter Western fighters such as America’s F-15 Eagle and F/A-18 Hornet, the Fulcrum has proven itself an equal to these planes in terms of maneuverability and firepower. Its twin turbofan engines provide it with excellent acceleration and climbing power, as well as superior low-speed turn rates in comparison with the American planes.

The Fulcrum’s most important advantage, however, is its infrared search and track system (IRST) used in conjunction with the pilot’s helmet target designator. The IRST can track and lock a target, and the Fulcrum’s missiles will follow the pilot’s line of sight to the target.Western intelligence analysts first sighted the MiG-29 in 1977, when it was photographed by a US reconnaissance satellite during one of the plane’s early test flights.

In 1997, the United States purchased 21 MiG-29s from the Republic of Moldova in order to prevent their sale to Iran. The MiGs were flown to the National Air Intelligence Center in Ohio for adversary training and evaluation. The MiG-29 was heavily exported by the Soviet Union and, currently, the Russian Republic. Among the countries flying the Fulcrum are Germany, Czechoslovakia, Poland, India, Iraq, and Iran—though these last two countries fly the less-advanced models.
