изделие 9-18, МиГ-29СМТ ■ product 9-18, MiG-29SMT
1997-1999
A continuation of 9-17 line after programme was cancelled in 1998 was new design 9-18 - a different approach to SMT conception after personal changes in MiG bureau. New avionics were applied (Ramyenskoye PKB) in glass cockpit, and only external fuel tanks are used, one under fuselage and two under wings. One aircraft was build in 2003 and displayed in many countries, potentially customers. Became a pattern for Yemeni MiGs-29SMT. Few (six) aircrafts were built for Yemen, between 2004 and 2005 (rebuilt 9-12 airframes).
Product 9-18 it not so good, because only external tanks were used, so new project SMT 9-19 was designed in 2005.
