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

amazing, isn’t it? Mikoyan masterpiece is just built different

It also still has only flares, if you allocate something to chaff, you just don’t get anything

And people mocked him by saying his designs are trash.

Little did they know was Mıkoyan already find a way to add additional fuel to his Fulcrums by using pocket dimension, such a underrated genuis.

Unironically, Mikoyan was quite a genius. But what Gaijin did to his creations is… questionable

He had great ideas and designs but sadly he got held back by Russian Defence MOD and their economy.

Always wondered what would’ve happen if MIG breau did continue developing MIG-1.44.

Differs quite a lot from the original mockup for 29K 9.31 if that’s it’s cockpit.

I love how you can always spot the American Mains on General Lee videos.

Didn’t know that Mikoyan designed F-14… But for me it is a bit too flat

imagine if the normal R-77 didnt have any gimbal limit like the R-77-1, would be so peak with the 85 degree radar limit

9.41SR with R-77-1 at 14.0
