Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-29 Fulcrum - History, Design, Performance & Dissection (Part 1)

Hehe, compared to how the jet performs now it must be night and day

Good old days when US had better radar, better HMD (19km vs 10km on Russian vehicles), better missile and better flight performance

Back in those days all I had was the F4F ICE😭

if was even before F-4F ICE i think.

Was it? weren’t the 27sm, eagle C and F4 all in the seek and destroy updoot?

Unless you refer to air superiority as well, that was also flanker vs eagle tbf

(And gripen😵‍💫)

Oh yeah, you are right, they wer added in the same update. But yep, back at the time Su-27SM only had 6 fox-3s, AL-31F engines, HMD with 10km lock range and R-77s that were only somewhat better than AMRAAMs at close range, but lost pretty much in every other way. Oh also old scan pattern for the radar which made you pretty much blind

Yeah the damn scan pattern that would’t reset from the top🥲 (tws+ didn’t exist yet rip)

Unironically I think the MiG-25 currently still scans the bottom part instead of restarting from the top

yep, as well as MiG-23

As of today 9.15 is the exact same as SMT

I mean, it’s a matter of just slapping 2 sensors. Unlike MiG-23, MiG-29 and Su-27 have onboard computer, so you don’t need a separate computing module.

They’re probably gonna say technically compatible cause prototype and allat

the devs are using this for acceleration tune
the graphs have an advantage over just numbers
