The mig 29s fm is still unfinished. It still can't pull the aoa it should. The instructor flat out limits you to 22° aoa when it should be 26° and the instantaneous turn should be around 28-30°. If the f16 is going to be a complete ufo because reasons, the mig29 should at least be able to pull the proper aoa. The Mikoyan MiG-27, NATO reporting name "Flogger", is an attack variant of the MiG-23. It did not recieve widespread use outside of Russia. At the end of the 1960s, the Soviet Union started development of a fighter aircraft, able to strike at ground targets and to perform massive hits against enemy targets. Other criteria was to be as invulnerable as possible against jammer systems and to be Its worth remembering that the French preferred the Jaguar over the Mirage V. They had both but the Mirage were only taken over from a IAF order cancelled on political grounds. And the Indian Air Force preferred the Jaguar over the Mig 27 keeping the Jaguar in low level production until I think 2005 for attrition replacement. Mar 7, 2010. The Mikoyan MiG-27 "Flogger" was derived from the successful MiG-23 "Flogger" interceptor and made into a dedicated ground attack aircraft. The swing-wing capabilities of the original Flogger lent itself well to the low-level activities and short take-off and landings inherent in the close-support role. However, the MiG-27 failed to become as The MIG-29 is just an inefficient aircraft to operate. Mig 29 costing upward of 11-13k euros per hours to operate and F-16s costing 9-8K per hour to operate. This is also compounded by the fact that the main source of (original new production) Mig 29 parts is currently busy dealing with domestic orders and a war so prices have increased. MiG-29 has distinct ITR advantage vs blk50 throughout most of the envelope. If you ask my opinion, slow is relative. Generally speaking, MiG-29 and Su-27 sees a slightly greater performance drop at transonic regime, probably due to their wide bodies disrupting its area ruling. However all 4th gen aircraft will sustain turns best around M0,85. The further aft the stabilator is, the longer the moment arm, which means they can be smaller and still have the required pitch moment. But if the majority of the stabilator surface is behind the aircraft fuselage, (as in this case), then, even when the rotation axis is swept back, as it is on many Mig aircraft, the bulk of the aerodynamic surface can be behind the rotation axis, and if so the I'm talking about the Kosovo War where 6 MiG-29s were shot down, 3 by USAF F-15s, 1 by USAF F-16, 1 by a Dutch F-16 and 1 by what is claimed to be friendly fire from the ground. Not so much a counter, more it was developed to counter but completely wiped the floor because the MiG-25 was a bad design for a niche role overhyped by Russian brass. .
