A medium-sized air superiority fighter. 'Fulcrum' is an impressive aircraft, with good
performance, armament and maneuverability, and the ability to use rough airfields. Range is weak point, and later versions were
modified to carry more fuel. A navalized version has also been flown. The Russian air force prefers the larger Su-27 and its
derivatives, but the development of the advanced MiG-29M version has been funded recently.
