MiG-29: Born to Fight, Built to Endure
The story of the fighter that wouldn't back down...
From the Cold War's frontlines to the battlefields of today, the MiG-29 Fulcrum has carved its name into the history of aerial warfare. Red Bandit pulls you into the cockpit of this legendary jet, delivering a visceral, no-holds-barred chronicle of its battlefield legacy. From its Cold War debut to modern-day skirmishes, this is the definitive story of a fighter born from the crucible of an East-West rivalry.
Based on de-classified reports, first-hand pilot accounts, and meticulous combat analysis, Red Bandit strips away the myths to reveal the true capabilities-and limits-of Russia's iconic warbird. Witness its clashes in the Middle East, Africa, and Eastern Europe, and trace its evolution from a Soviet frontline defender to a key player in 21st-Century conflicts. Whether dogfighting over Iraq or facing off in Ukraine, the MiG-29's record is as complex as it is explosive.
Perfect for military aviation fans, historians, and thrill-seekers alike, Red Bandit is more than just a parochial history-it's a high-stakes, sky-scorching narrative of power, politics, and heart-pounding dogfights. Strap in for a supersonic ride through four decades of aerial combat...and discover how a jet designed to fight World War III found itself fighting on today's battlefronts.
