In 1980 the Indian Air Force placed an order for 66 MiG-29s making them the first international country to do so even though the MiG-29 was in its initial development stage. Between 1986 and 1987 42 MiG-29s with serials KB701 to KB742 arrived. The paint scheme on these first arrivals didn't have a standard IAF camouflage scheme, they wore Soviet colors and some of these aircraft colors varied. MiG-29 KB715 belongs to the 47th Squadron "Black Archers" at Adampur Air Force Station. Adampur is a base for 8th Wing (47th and 223rd Squadrons). Designed to help the Soviet Union attain air superiority, the MiG-29 fighter was first flown on October 6th, 1977. The MiG-29, known as the "Fulcrum," has a high-mounted bubble canopy and twin jet engines with diagonal-shaped air intakes and large exhausts. Its tapered, swept-back wings and boom-mounted tail fins give it its classic look. Armed with medium and short-range missiles and unguided weapons for ground and sea-surface targets, the MiG-29's sight is a helmet-mounted system-the pilot chooses his targets by looking at them. Even today the Fulcrum remains a potent adversary, and will remain in service for at least another decade. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
