Photos have appeared online of a barometric altimeter of a Russian fourth-generation MiG-29 fighter, which climbed to a height of 22 500 meters.
According to tactical and technical characteristics, the practical flight ceiling of the combat vehicle does not exceed 18 000 meters.
At the same time, in 1995, test pilot Roman Taskaev was able to reach a height of 27,460 meters in his MiG-29.
However, then it was about an aircraft specifically for the record: without weapons, with equipment removed and with part of the fuel. And in the above case, a standard MiG-29 reached such a height.
The updated version of the MiG-29M is capable of tracking up to ten targets and firing simultaneously at four. The detection range of enemy fighters is up to 80 km. The pilot has improved visibility from the cockpit, increased information content of weapons systems, indication and navigation, as well as ergonomics.
MiG-29 characteristics:
Height — 4.73 m, wingspan — 11.36 m, maximum speed — 2450 km/h (2.3 Mach), practical flight range at high altitude — 1 thousand 430 km (with external fuel tanks — 2 thousand 100 km), maximum takeoff weight — 18.1 tons, maximum combat load weight — 2.18 tons, crew — one person (in the training and combat modification — two).
Earlier www1.ru reported that new Geran-2 kamikaze drones made of wood and metal have entered service with the military.
