The real plane
The MiG-29 is a fourth-generation jet fighter aircraft designed in the
Soviet Union for an air superiority role. Developed in the 1970s by the
Mikoyan design bureau, it entered service with the Soviet Air Force in
1983, and remains in use by the Russian Air Force as well as in many other
nations.
The MiG-29OVT “Red Star” version have thrust-vectoring engine and fly-
by-wire technology. It served as a thrust-vectoring engine test-bed and
technology demonstrator to show future improvement in the MiG-29
series. The two RD-133 thrust-vectoring engines, each features unique
rotating nozzles which can provide thrust vector deflection in all
directions. The OVT version is being demonstrated in various air shows
around the world for potential export and as an aerobatic demonstrator.
