This book aims to provide a photographic survey of recent Soviet fighter and interceptor aircraft with a special emphasis on detail views useful for aircraft modelers. In decades past, Soviet aircraft have been veiled in mystery due to the extremes of Soviet military secrecy. With the recent political changes occurring since the mid-1980s, this has begun to change. The arrival of a pair of MIG-29 Fulcrums at the Farnborough Air Show in 1988 was the first tangible sign of aerospace glasnost. The majority of the photos in this book were taken by the author at the Farnborough Air Show in 1988 and the Paris Air Salon at Le Bourget in 1989- Rather than confine the book to the MIG-29 and Su-27 displayed in the West, coverage was extended to other contemporary fighter types such as the
MIG-31, and MIG-23 with the hopes of supplementing existing publications with new photos and coverage of newer
variants.
