 ...nd for good reason. With MiG-29 pro
duction halted and unsold aircraft availa
ble, Mikoyan is in need of new business.
The best near-term prospect is the market
to upgrade some of the 5,000-plus
MiG-21s still flying.
UPGRADE MARKET
Russian efforts to tap the MiG-21 upgrade
market unaided were evident in Paris.
Mikoyan displayed the advanced weap

 ...estricting ability to aim guns in a dogfight. The nose-
mounted radar has a search range of only 12 miles, but
automatic ranging can be fed into the gunsight. Manual
ranging is also possible. Early MiG-21s had only a fixed-
graticule aiming sight, without any gyro compensation.
Some early marks also relied on missiles and carried no
guns, but the MiG-21MF has a twin-barrelled 23mm gun.

 ...R introduced its
first six MiG-29 Fulcrums into service early in 1990

evidently affected by missile minimum launch range and
by the types restricted manoeuvrability and the 23mm
