"They are not our usual thugs. Their Fulcrums are a hell of a lot better than the rebel crates."

The MiG-29A Fulcrum is a fourth-generation fighter. It made its debut in Air Combat and has since been featured in multiple subsequent Ace Combat titles.

History

Strangereal
In the Strangereal universe, the original MiG-29A was developed and adopted by various air forces as a mid-level air superiority aircraft, roughly equal to the F-16C Fighting Falcon, but was generally outfitted in secondary weapons geared towards air-to-ground missions. MIG-29As were fielded during the Belkan War by Belka and Ustio as frontline fighters, with various notable pilots using such jets in frontline operations. One of the most notable Fulcrum units was the Belkan 13th Tactical Fighter Squadron GrauWespe, which gained fame on the western fronts before being shot down in the Battle of B7R.

Fulcrums were also used by the ISAF Air Force and the Federal Erusea Air Force during the 2003 Usean Continental War, with one Erusean ace pilot, Mrkos, utilizing a Fulcrum with a crimson red paint scheme.

The aircraft was also fielded by the Osean Air Defense Force and Yuktobanian Air Force during the Circum-Pacific War.

Fulcrums were fielded in the Lighthouse War, they were operated both by the OADF, of which Champ, a member of the OADF's 444th Fighter Squadron was a notable operator, and the Erusean Air Force. Joe Barker, Callsign: Jester, was the most notable Erusean MiG-29 pilot.

On June 30, 2020, at least five Estovakian Air Force MiG-29As were showcased at Redmill Air Force Base alongside foreign aircraft at a ceremony commemorating 25 years since the Belkan War's conclusion. The Estovakian military had sent these aircraft among others after being invited by the Osean Federation. Later that year, during the Aurelian War, the Leasath Air Force utilized the aircraft in moderate numbers.
