They answered a few years later with the MiG-29, a smaller twin-engine design similar to the larger Su-27 which was in pre-production to answer the F-15. These six fighters - F-14, F-15, F-16, F/A-18, MiG-29 and Su-27 - represented the cutting edge of fighter design as of the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991.
