The gameplay involves simulating real-world flying experiences as a MiG-29 pilot, with manual controls for actions such as takeoff and landing, braking, and using flares and chaff to avoid enemy fire. The game also features an automatic targeting system to help successfully complete missions.
The game is divided into 6 missions: a tutorial mission plus 5 strategic missions. Mission objectives include destroying enemy command structures, escorting a submarine, and destroying Scud missiles. Mission scores are based on the number of enemy structures and craft destroyed.
