The actual aircraft used in the movie are U.S. In real-life, all postwar MiG aircraft in military service have been odd-numbered, so the MiG-28 is a fictional designation. In video games licensed from the films, the enemy planes are replaced with real Soviet aircraft, the MiG-29 'Fulcrum'.ДЄudio commentary on the film's Special-Edition DVD release states that they were originally intended to be North Korean. In the script, American pilotsВ were warned that the MiG-28В was armed with the AM 39 Exocet, a French-made Anti-ship Missile not found in the inventory of Soviet forces. The nation thatВ flew the MiG-28sВ was not specified whatsoever in the film but assumed to be the Soviet Union or another Communist state. Pete 'Maverick' MitchellВ and his wingman CougarВ squared off against MiG-28s with no NATO reporting name and of unspecified nationality. MiG is highly maneuverable, but somewhat slower than the F-14 Tomcat. As seen in Top Gun, it uses wingtip-mounted Vympel K-13 (NATO reporting name 'AA-2 Atoll') missiles as its primary air to air weapon (the Atoll is a reverse-engineered version of the AIM-9 Sidewinder). The MiG-28 (РњРёР“-28 in Cyrillic script) is a twin-engine, single or two-seat fighter jet operated by Soviet bloc air forces.
