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
That’d be funny imo, 29M getting BVP-30-26s would be silly asf…
Welcome to war thunder
Mig 25 moment
Looks like a bull terrier that got stung by a bee/
At least a handful of MiG-25’s actually mounted KDS-155.,.,… unlike 29Ms w/ the former…,
But yeah they’ll BS it some more probably, can’t wait for it to be yet another MiG-29 without Kh-31A/Kh-35/35U.
none of those missiles are in the game

the empty weight is 11400 and wing area is 42
My point exactly…
Almost like I’m saying the MiG-29s SHOULD GET IT, same with the flankers and shi too ig.
@Ralin
do you have another source for this image that suggests that the r-77 can be fired above its 55 degree seekerhead gimbal limit?

in my bug report for it in my 29smt i used the image from an old phazotron brochure, but idk why it hasn’t been looked at.

the mig-29smt pocket guide also uses this same image, but I am not 100% sure that manual is allowed to be used for bug reports which is why I didn’t attatch it to the bug report.
huh no.
dont want my lovely mig29 to fall in their hand
Spoiler
it was promised to them 3000 years ago tho
su-30 with that radar would be cool, wonder which 30 variant it would be
