Slovak air force Mig 29 releasing flares

---

The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-29 fighter was a formidable foe when the aircraft, first flown in 1977, initially appeared. This tactical fighter, codenamed 'Fulcrum' by NATO, was rugged yet very agile, and would have been more than a match for its Western opponents in the latter years of the Cold War. The Slovak Air Force maintains 12 MiG-29s based with 1 Letka (1st Squadron) at Sliač Airport
