The Mig-29 is a fighter jet that was designed and manufactured by the Mikoyan design bureau in Russia. The jet was produced in the late 1970s and became operational in the Soviet Air Force in the early 1980s.
Peru purchased a total of ten Mig-29s from Russia in the early 1990s. The jets were delivered to Peru in 1996 and became operational in the Peruvian Air Force in 1997. The Mig-29s are used primarily for air defense purposes and are part of the Peruvian Air Force's "Grupo Aéreo N.° 6" (6th Air Group).
The Peruvian Mig-29s have undergone upgrades and modernizations over the years to keep them in service. In 2014, Peru signed a contract with Russia to upgrade its Mig-29s to the latest standard. The modernization included the installation of new radar and avionics systems, as well as upgrades to the engines and weapons systems.
The Mig-29 is a highly maneuverable and versatile fighter jet. It is capable of performing both air-to-air and air-to-ground missions. The jet has a top speed of around Mach 2.25 (1,500 mph) and a range of around 1,500 miles with external fuel tanks. It is armed with a 30mm cannon and can carry a variety of air-to-air and air-to-ground missiles, as well as bombs and rockets.
