Warload
| Air-to-Air Superiority |
| The most important difference between the weapons system of the Mig-29 and that on contemporary Western fighters is that the radar forms only one element of the Mig-29's fire control system. this integrated system comprises the radar, the wide-angle helmet-mounted target designator system and an advanced electro-optical Infra-Red Search and Track system (IRST), all of wich are linked via the mission and fire control computers. The electro-optical set comprises an IR tacker an a laser rangefinder, and in clear skies allows the Mig-29 pilot to make an emission-free interception, detecting, aquiring, tracking and launching missiles without using the radar. |

| Long range interception |
 |
The AA-9 is similar in size, configuration and capability to the U.S. AIM-54 Phoenix, almost certainly employs onboard long-range active radar homing. 1x multi-barreled 30mm cannon, 170 rounds. 2x AA-9 "Alamo" 4x AA-10 "Alamo" 1x conformal fuel tank (unknown capacity) |
| Medium/Close range interception |
 |
The AA-10 "Alamo" is believed to be equivalent to the U.S. AMRAAM with inertia mid-course guidance and active radar for terminal homing. 1x multi-barelled 30mm cannon, 170 rounds. 6x AA-10 "Alamo" |
The Mig-29 "Fulcrum" can carry a wide range of mixed air-to-air and air-to-ground warload. As the aircraft is more likely to be used as a 'swing' fighter than a pure 'mud-mower' we have limited the warload section to what this aircraft was designed for.
