WEAPON SYSTEMS:

1. GRYAZEV/SHIPUNOV GSH-30-1 (9A-4071K) 30MM INTERNAL GUN SYSTEM: Internally mounted within the Fulcrum is a 30mm Cannon capable of firing at a rate of 1500 to 1800 rounds per minute, (25 to 30 rounds per second.) Fitted within the MiG-29 it is only capable of firing at targets directly in front of the fighter.

   • PAYLOAD: 170 rounds

2. WING HARD POINTS: The MiG-29 Fulcrum has eight underwing hardpoints that utilize the BD3-UMK2B pylons and the APU-470, APU-73-1D, and APU-68-85E launching devices.
   • R-27 ALAMO MISSILES (ALSO KNOWN AS IZDELIYE 470) The largest and heaviest Infra-red missile carried by the MiG-29 Fulcrum.

     • RANGE: 37.5 miles
     • DAMAGE: 3D6x10
     • BLAST RADIUS: 40 feet
     • RATE OF FIRE: 1 at a time or all
     • PAYLOAD: Up to 8 missiles

   • R-73 ARCHER MISSILES A highly maneuverable dogfight missile designed for dogfighting engagements at close range. At 2.9 metres long this missile is the world's foremost IR guided dogfight missile.
     • PRIMARY PURPOSE: Assault/Defense
     • MISSILE SPEED: 2,641 MPH
     • RANGE: 46 miles
     • DAMAGE: 2D6x10
     • BLAST RADIUS: 50 feet
     • RATE OF FIRE: 1 at a time or all
     • PAYLOAD: Up to 8 missiles

   • R-60 APHID MISSILES This light weight short range IR guided missile is the first tactical light weight missile designed exclusively for fighter-to-fighter close-in combat.
     • PRIMARY PURPOSE: Assault/Defense
     • MISSILE SPEED: 2,025 MPH
     • RANGE: 10 miles
     • DAMAGE: 1D6x10
     • BLAST RADIUS: 5 feet
     • RATE OF FIRE: Individually or all at once
     • PAYLOAD: Up to 8 missiles

3. SO-69 type K-11E ECM JAMMER Used to defeat hostile radar, the ECM, (Electronic Counter Measures,) jammer will confuse all radar so that the fighter can not be detected or locked onto with radar guided weapons. This does not give away the position of the fighter but it does let the enemy know that they are there. The only way that it can be defeated is with ECCM, (Electronic Counter-Counter Measures.)
   • PRIMARY PURPOSE: Block Enemy Radar
   • RANGE: 30 miles
   • RULES: Confuses all radar within 30 miles, but can be defeated by ECCM, if the ECCM operator gets a higher Sensory Instruments percentage roll against the ECM operator.

4. BVP-30-26M CHAFF/FLARE DECOY DISPENSORS: Located in the rear middle section of the Fulcrum's fuselage are the counter-measures dispensors. Triggered by the pilot they will release either a chaff cloud or single flare depending on what the pilot chooses. They are used to confuse enemy missiles attacking the Tomcat. Smart missiles get a 20% bonus when rolling on the below chart.
   01-50 Missile/s detonated by Chaff/Flare
   51-75 Missile/s loses track of target and veers away in wrong direction, (may lock onto another target)
   76-00 No effect, missile is still on target
   • Payload: 30 of each type

STANDARD EQUIPMENT FOR THE MIKOYAN GUREVICH MIG-29 FULCRUM:

• AUTO-PILOT: (SAU-451-04 automatic control system & E502-20/04 airborne guidance system) The MiG-29 is equipped with a computerized auto-pilot, allowing the pilot to relax or even sleep during long voyages. The auto-pilot can be programmed with a single destination or a complex flight plan involving multiple speeds, directions, and destinations. The onboard computer will alert the pilot when the fighter is near its destination, and can also be set to automatically signal when sensors detect objects near the fighter.
• COMBAT COMPUTER W/HUD DISPLAYS: (ALMAZ-UP information reporting system & Ts100.02-02 digitial computer) The MIG-29 Fulcrum is equipped with a Phazotron Research and Production Company N-019M "TOPAZ" radar and S-31E2 "optical / electronic aiming and navigation complex which features an infrared search and track sensor; a laser rangefinder; and a helmet-mounted target designator.
• EJECTOR SEATS/HOMING SIGNAL: The pilot's seats are ejection seats designed to eject the pilot in the event of a catastrophe. They must be manually operated to fire. The pilot carries a homing devices within a small radio within their flightsuit in the event of them having to ditch. These radio/homing signals have a range of 100 miles.
• LASER TARGETING SYSTEM: Range: 100 miles (160 km).
• OPTICS: CAMERA: Range: 30 miles (48 km). A Television Camera Set (TCS) is used for visual target identification at long ranges. The TCS is a high resolution closed circuit television system. The selected FOV is displayed in the cockpit and can be recorded by the Cockpit Television System. It is used for both reconnaisance, and to assist in target aquisition in air to ground attacks.
• OPTICS: INFRARED: Range: 11.25 miles (18 km). IRST (optical locator laser station: OEPrNK-29-E2) with Helmet Mounted Sight (helmet-mounted target designation system: SHLEM)
• OPTICS: NIGHTVISION: Range: 2000 feet (610 m).
• IN-FLIGHT REFUEL: The Fulcrum is fully capable of refueling in mid-air due to a forward mounted in-air refuel nozzle which allows the fighter to refuel and thus extend its operational range. The MiG-29 can fully refuel all of its internal tanks, and external tanks as well through this method.
• ARRESTOR HOOK: The MiG-29K version of the Fulcrum is equipped with an arrestor hook to permit it to land on Aircraft Carriers.
• COUNTER-MEASURES: The Fulcrum is equipped with chaff and flare decoy dispensers, as well as an ECM jammer linked into the Radar Reciever Warning system. (See under Weapon Systems for details.)
• RADAR: Phazotron Zhuk N-019M "TOPAZ" Radar with a range of 155 miles (245 km).
• RADIO COMMUNICATION: (R-862 radio & A-611 marker radio receiver) Long range, directional communications system with satellite relay capabilities. Range: 600 miles (960 km) or can be boosted indefinitely via satellite relay.
• STANDARD SURVIVAL KIT: The pilots flightsuit comes equipped with a portable survival equipment. The equipment includes a small waterproof radio/homing signal, a medium-sized flashlight, two hand flares, one rocket flare, a compass, infrared distancing binoculars, a small mirror, a pocket knife, dehydrated and concentrated food (can be stretched into a five day supply for one person) and basic first aid items (aspirin, bandages, disinfectants, etc.)
• TACTICAL LIFE SUPPORT SYSTEM: The Fulcrums cockpit features pressurized air feeds to the pilots flight suit that provides them with pressurized breathing. The flight suit also promotes blood circulation even during high-g turns, thus decreasing the possibility of the pilot blacking out in combat.
