Description
 
Since the Mig-29Awere in service, the limited fuel capacity was the biggest problem of this light tactical fighter.To meeting the specified range requirements, the designers ofMikoyan developed a project to enlarge the fuselage tank.But the special dorsalauxiliary air intakes cause that only the tank in the spine could be readilyenlarged;its capacity was increased by 240 litres. The enlarged fuselage tankmade the upper fuselage con tour became con vex instead of con cave.Besides, the application of new pylon s allows another two drop tanks be fitted under the wings.Fitting three drop tanks gave the fighter a ferry range of 3000km. A series of new electron ic countermeasuresequipments were also be fitted on the aircraft,and ordnance load increased to3200 kg. The prototype of the Mig-29C(Izdeliye 9.13) took offfor the first time on 4th May 1984.More than 400 'fatbacks' were built.233 of them remained inRussiaafter the collapse of the Soviet Union ;155 were retained by the Ukraine.
