Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-29 Fulcrum - History, Design, Performance & Dissection (Part 2)

Indian airframes on photos there are equipped with TopSight. But gaijin doesn’t give export stuff to domestic airframes most of the time

Can’t we pull a rafale here?

Indian export Rafale C F3s use HMD while the French ones do not
The French one was tested with HMD as well iirc

Thats is a good point, I didn’t know about difference between export and domestic Rafales. Although gaijin might pull J-11 card and say 9-41 != 9-41R @Balta779517-live wanna try it?

having it on a photo on a 9.47R KUBR wasnt good enough for them to add it to the 9.41R KR, even tho it is the exact same jet with only a extra fuel tank on the single seater

That sucks

While on topic of KUB can someone explain what is that ‘opening’ part on the fuselage right after wing slat?

I haven’t been provided with red circles

the flap above 51?

I specifically searched for photos of the MiG-29KR using TopSight-E, and so far I have not found a clear public photo showing aMiG-29KR with the pilot wearing the Thales TopSight-E helmet. The strong photo that exists is of the MiG-29KUB “52 blue,” so it does not work if they require strictly the KR.
But this russian web mentions that the Russian contract TopSight-E included MiG-29K/MiG-29KUB aircraft, designated MiG-29KR/MiG-29KUBR

Yea

Krueger flap. Creates additional lift

You must be mixing up 9.31 with 9.41

yeah you are right

Also clearly a third party source that couldn’t be trusted smh

How did they even refute this source?

Maybe ping the admin like how Balta pinged and got his Thaled reopened?
