Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-29/35 Fulcrum - History, Design, Performance & Dissection (Part 2)

EVolution of AESA Zhuk looks really funny
First you have FGA-9 knows for it’s incredible heft

Then you have FGA-29 in testing configuration. It hit the gym and managed to loose bunch of weight (and some TRMs as well)


FGA-29 kept going to the gym and now we have the proper version with fully stacked array

And then we got to a cross pattern…

Tikhomirov kinda cooks when it comes to hybrid radars. And they also working on planar AESA which looks rad. But man i love Phazotron and their work on minituarisation
Good thing that both are in the same boat now, under KRET

just copy paste the KR skin on it. they have the same model.

that how i use the same skin for both su27 and sm

There will be some visual clipping around mismatching sensors, but other than that should look solid

Who make suggestion VKS twin-seat MiG-29 other variants (before MiG-29UB-R) ?

Im just gonna wait in case anyone makes actualy naval camo for it, if they dont well that is the option.

Somebody writes an issue that RD-33MK shall get the same emergency thrust on MiG-29K. If this is fixed 35 will get even better fm, especially in high altitude.

Would be peak

@Balta779517-live makes most of the MiG-29 suggestions.

Its going to be better regardless but if it looses the 8 r-77-1 its going to be pretty bad in arb

also please, try to skip J16 forums. they are on fire. like hell

i woke up and saw my 2 messages are linked there, what the hell did you do there?

some guys acting like he know better. to be short.

for him the mig 35 aesa is a what if plane. and only goes with being service opinion.

which i told him its not true and he started his bla bla and making a comment right and left.
and then he tried to act strong telling to read in the mig29 forum while not knowing i have nearly 300 messages combine in the thread sent.

and now hes acting like i miss understood him and i cant read, you know, the excuse when you know nothing about the difference btw a compability and a completly fake plane. which i clearly told him the 9.15D is made with 9.41 avionics.

wow that a lot, sorry.
