The MiG-29 Fulcrum is an agile twin engine fighter known for maneuverability and frontline service in many air forces; designed by Mikoyan-Gurevich as a counterpart to western fighters. Our panels come from a Ukrainian MiG-29 BORT Number White 05, Serial Number 2960728125 - salvaged from the crash site and repurposed into our TransportTags in 2025.
This air frame was loaded for a strike with an AGM-88 HARM adapted for use on a MiG-29 and was tasked against a Russian SAM site.
During that operation on 7 January 2023, the aircraft was lost in a friendly fire incident when it was engaged by a Ukrainian SAM battery in a friendly fire incident. Evidence at the crash site - notably the absence of the canopy - and multiple reports indicate the pilot most likely executed a successful ejection. Ukrainian authorities have limited public details to protect operational security as to what happened on that day.
For this release we are again offering the Recon Imagery Set — a limited edition pairing of a 13" x 19" acid‑free matte art print (white border, unframed, numbered and signed) alongside an authentic, rough‑cut unengraved piece of the MiG-29 mounted to a PVC TransportTag card. Each aircraft piece will be unique; prints and MiG-29 pieces are not available separately. Production is strictly limited. As a side note, none of the MiG-29 tags or Recon Imagery Sets will go on sale during Black Friday.
We are thrilled to be able to offer this tag to our collectors as a piece of very recent military history.
Vehicle History
Vehicle History
The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-29 Fulcrum emerged in the late 1970s as the Soviet Union’s answer to advanced Western fighters like the F-16 and F-15. Designed by the Mikoyan design bureau, the MiG-29 was developed to counter U.S. air superiority with a focus on agility, speed, and versatility. Conceived as a lightweight, twin-engine fighter, it aimed to excel in both air-to-air combat and ground attack roles. Development began in 1974, driven by the need to replace aging Soviet aircraft and maintain parity in the Cold War arms race.
The MiG-29’s development faced challenges, including integrating advanced avionics and the powerful Klimov RD-33 engines into a compact airframe. Its first prototype flew on October 6, 1977, showcasing exceptional maneuverability thanks to its aerodynamic design and thrust-vectoring capabilities in later variants. By 1982, the MiG-29 entered service with the Soviet Air Force, earning praise for its agility and robust performance. Its advanced radar and ability to carry a mix of missiles and bombs made it a formidable multirole fighter, quickly gaining attention on the global stage.
Since its introduction, the MiG-29 has seen widespread use by over 40 countries and evolved through numerous variants, including the modernized MiG-29SMT and MiG-35. It played roles in conflicts from the Yugoslav Wars to regional skirmishes, proving its reliability and adaptability. Despite competition from newer fighters, the Fulcrum remains in active service, with upgrades enhancing its avionics and weaponry. Its legacy endures as a symbol of Soviet engineering, blending raw power with agility, and continues to serve air forces worldwide.
