The MiG-29 9-13 is a modernized version of the famous Soviet air superiority fighter, designed in the 1970s and 1980s by the Mikoyan and Gurevich design bureau. Since the Cold War, the aircraft has been used by the air forces of the USSR, then Russia, and several Eastern European countries, including Poland and, as demonstrated by recent events, Ukraine.
