MiG-29 Fulcrum, Bort 44, of the 773rd IAP (Fighter Aviation Regiment) was stationed at Ribnitz-Damgarten Airbase, East Germany in 1994. It was one of several Russian aircraft that were painted in a non-standard two-tone green camouflage paint scheme. This scheme was quite similar to the "European One" camouflage pattern that was applied to numerous USAF aircraft that were based in Europe around that time.
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.
