Mikoyan MiG-29SMT "Fulcrum" Multirole Fighter
Pages of history
The MiG-29SMT (Product 9-19) is a comprehensive modernization of the classic frontline fighter, specifically designed to address the original airframe's primary weakness: limited combat radius.
Visually, the SMT is immediately recognizable by its enlarged dorsal spine—the "hunchback"—which houses significantly expanded internal fuel tanks and improved avionics cooling. This modification nearly doubles the aircraft's range compared to the early 9-12 variants, allowing it to perform deep strike missions previously reserved for the Su-27 family.
Internally, the SMT replaces legacy analog dials with a modern "Glass Cockpit" featuring multi-function displays (MFDs) and integrates the advanced Zhuk-ME radar. This allows it to fire the deadly R-77 (AA-12 Adder) active-radar missiles and employ precision-guided air-to-ground munitions, transforming it into a true 4+ generation multirole platform.

What you found in game
First of all this plane is build for Low Physics Settings Friendly, meaning that gears are designed not to "fold" and capable to extend on the ground if they were retracted, also low probability of missile jam on high-G launch.
The plane features a retractable Refuel Probe and a Carrier Landing Hook. Despite increased spine volume, there were no space for an additional fuel tank.
Targeting system consists of two radar controllers, one has the same logic found on Sukhoi Su-57 and the other represents an HMD targeting, having a better lock on target.
To make a smoother flight an Auto Trimmer is implemented which triggers in if you don't touch WASD for 1.5 seconds and it automatically finds the right values for elevator to counter unwanted pitch down or up. It is useful especially if you have heavy payload or flying upside down. The pilot has the luxury to control that value only when stabilizers are On.
Specifically for this plane were developed SPO-15 RWR and ILS-31 HUD, a distinct mark of soviet fighter jets now available for everyone to play. Additionally SHI Laser Targeting Pod has been developed to enable laser guided munition.
