Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-29 Fulcrum - History, Design, Performance & Dissection

Take a look at this site 36100 | Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-29SE Fulcrum C | Bangladesh - Air Force | Tawkir Hossain | JetPhotos
They say its MiG29 SE and it has the serial number as well. Clicking on the serial number shows that its MiG 29SE but the thing is its not MiG 29SE.

It shows how unreliable these types of sites are. You can’t use these types of sites as a source.

These are clearly MiG 29 9-13. They have the larger dorsal fin(or whatever its called)

Because countries received upgrades from the Russians and those are hard to keep track… In sound research you must expect discrepancies. You need to understand this is how open source intelligence works. You need to learn how to sift through it.

Not cry about a missing letter. If the serial number is correct. You follow the trail.

Even direct sources from Russian military will always have intentional element of maskirovka placed through out. I suppose to understand these things requires someone privy doctrines in intelligence gathering & counter intelligence.

Did you look up the serial number? Or dorsals determine everything?

Looking up the serial number(MSN) will only show the Airliners.Net pictures. There’s no guarantee that these serial numbers are official. These are written by the people who took these pictures.

Yes Dorsals can determine the variant.

There is two sources confirming serial. You can find it.

That’s where I left off because it’s irrelevant to me.

This site even says its a MiG 29(9-12A) 😂. I know its not 102 but 101

The sources you are talking about are unofficial. Unofficial sources cannot be used for determining such important matters.

Who said they were official lol.

If it’s not the Sam

So you have not the right jet. Ok

You are treating them like official sources. The fact is that these MSN/Serial numbers cannot be trusted.

Bruh. You think just one digit change in the serial number would change its variant? 10X serial number MiGs are all the same variant.

I’ll talk to you later. I have to eat my breakfast.

Kid you can look up serial numbers & hex codes. They are given to every aircraft upon serial production & upon registry of any nation.

Your mad because you are not educated enough to understand these databases collect identification en masse on aircraft of countless commercial, civil & military. Of course discrepancies will be found.

Don’t forget to brush your teeth too & wash your hands.

Spoiler

Can you tell it’s correct? No serial numbers? What about hex code? How do you know it’s not incorrectly talking about the others in the picture?

lol so it’s a 9-13S? lol sweet. They said none existed. Lmfao

This is golden.

It’s for you since unofficial stuff is valid to you.
MSN numbers can be trustworthy if it’s a civilian aircraft. In case of military aircraft these MSNs are often wrong specially if it’s a russian or soviet aircraft.
As long as you can’t show a official document where it says its a 9-12S your claims are not valid.

You just wasted everyone’s likes to do a full circle, just to come back around to offer your evidence of an Ukrainian 9-13S…

Bravo my boy. Bravo!

When did I claim its 9-13S? I never claimed it. That picture was for you.

The pictures of Ukrainian MiGs you shared didn’t even have their full msn written on them. So there’s no guarantee that the guy entered the correct MSN.

Thanks for sharing your evidence from another source of a Ukrainian 9-13S. Oh, it was by accident though.

That’s why I post the MSN for people to look up & cross check. I did not list identifiers for you not to look up. lol.

Fascinating that Ukraine makes money off these airshow posters & does not know what kind of Mig29s they own…

So since it can’t fire R-27ER it also can’t fire R-27R, got it… Except it can… So it can!

Your entire argument is that the missiles new booster makes it impossible to launch from the airframes with the N019 radar… Just not sound logic or reason here.

My entire argument has been about boosters? No relevancy whatsoever kiddo.

Only N019 radars that are proven to guide R-27ER & R-77s in any Mig-29 is the upgraded N019M Topaz or greater
The N019M Topaz can guide older missiles like the R-27R too.

Just because something is backwards compatible does not mean something is forward compatible.

imagine living in a world not able to understand this.

You must have it hard huh?
