MiG really loves to make… questionable designs for the trainers. Only one that manged to outshine MiG is Yakovlev with his Yak-38 trainer

Oh yeah that Yak looks cursed.

Also funny how one of the pilots in the twin seater MiG-25 sits in the “radome” theoretically

if hes scanning ahead with his eyes and telling what he is seeing i guess he some kinda of eyeball mk.1 radar?

He need that 20/20 vision more than ever

He’s just used instead of regular hydraulics. Just holding the dish in his hands, moving it around.

would this be the best placement if they model the spine mounted flares

according to the Mikoyan MiG-29 ‘Fulcrum’ 1981 To Present Owners’ Workshop Manual they are mounted approximately where those two small rectangle shaped panels are circled out in the picture and it lines up with the description from the famous russian aircraftmig-29/35 book that describes the flare dispensers mounts being covered up with blanking plates on all prototypes

i think so too. It’s pretty much at the same place as the launchers onprevious MiGs, just placed in the hump itself. But looking at current model and skin - gaijin most certainly aiming to keep the pods in front of the tail.

would be very disappointing if it just ends up with the old flare layout

you could try making a report before the 29M is final
