Yep the russian pd radars on both mig29’s & su27’s became a bit inconsistent recently over the last major update or two in particular - happens across all available modes (normal search/tws & acm), particularly with hprf (hdn) though, but even within low prf (normal pd) it still does not lock targets sometimes even if they are providing an extremely large radar return to lock onto. And regardless of if they are either the only or largest radar contact within the scope it will just refuse to lock your designated target. Its very odd and rather frustrating when it happens, particularly in those situations when fast lock Aquisition is of utmost importance.
No, these are two different suspension options

Is there a more modern mig with stronger engines we could get? Also one that is a single seater? One that has a good radar and rwr like the smt?
MiG 29 9.18. It’s a MiG 29SMT without the enlarged fin.

Ah okay cool! All pics i had seen of mig 35 was dual so thats why i thought. But then im looking forward to the mig 35s!
Do we know how much stronger the engines has? Does it have 8 pylons?
S and UB has same canopy, that could confuse you.
Yes.
Oh no… why would they do that… rip 35s then :(
Didn’t they plan to use center pylon for missiles or bomb? As i know now it is only for external fuel tank.
RWR is either Spo15T (a bit improved spo15) or L-150 pastel (SMT rwr) depending on the year of the prototype

Is it possible to guide a guided bomb using the IRST? Some IRST can lock on ground targets.
Are the flight models correct for the mig 29s? Even the SMT?

Yes, the fulcrum suffers in RB because of the Instructor

Alright, seems like it could really use stronger engines then… once it goes below 700 kmh its basically just a brick. Even the su27 feels more agile at slower speeds but i assumed it would be the opposite since the mig is lighter?
