quick search, found these

thats not the orignal source of them

first one seems to be from some spanish magazine

i know…
unless there is the original source, this is where i found them.

second one seems to be from some russian book about the Mig-29 family or the Mig-29M specifically

Was this same radar offered for the Yak 130? Some articles claimed that the base Yak 130 had OSA radar.

I think it was offered/proposed but not sure if the RuAF actually bought it.

9-15 now have 1.31 with 5000 fuel (100%), when it must be 1.43

mig29s

Spoiler

you have something on Zhuk-M?

we got mig-29smt pocket guide that states everything we need to know about zhuk me which is export version of zhuk m radar wise.

Well, export Russian (and USSR) equipment usually has some sort of downgrades compared to home versions (one of the very few exceptions was MiG-21MF iirc, but it hit the market 1 or 2 years after the 21SM in this case). But there is probably no better source for it anyway

better get to reporting then Mr.

Nowadays it’s… very situational when it comes to things being downgraded or not…

So how’s 9.15 FM is looking right now compared to other Fulcrums? I’m not using dev so I haven’t been able to check it out yet.
Is there an improvement or do we have another flying brick?

Feels quite fast, the thrust difference compared to earlier models is definitely there, don’t know about the turn performance, but I’m pretty sure someone already posted statshark data yesterday.

Fuel load right now looks not finished, but in turn performance 29M beats every other if fuel WEIGHT is the same (not fuel load, 30% fuel on 29M equals like 52% fuel load on 9.12). But 29M compresses worse than even 29SMT and above 750kph looses to every other Fulcrum


this is with 30% fuel on every aircraft
