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

I compared F-16C-40 to the chart and it aligned very well with the data shown, I think it is probably quite accurate but may be for a heavier model of MiG-29 as I was testing the 9-12A.

If I test the 9-13 and others it aligns itself even better to the data.

Anyone who speaks Russian can explain what this stands for?

I think it refers to detecting stationary sea targets, but I’m not clear on what this is supposed to stand for:

Most likely:
Measuring coordinates of stationary land (sea) targets

Thanks

I suppose it’s abbreviated from “наземные (морские) цели”

Yes.

It would be more correct (fixed targets for example tank/ship)…
Stationary ones are, for example, the Voronezh Radar…
Further in the text _ Selection and tracking of ground (sea) moving targets…

fixed and stationary are synonyms.

Maybe in English, but not in Russian…
In Russian:

  1. (Stationary is the one that cannot move)…
  2. A fixed target is one that can move, but is currently in no motion mode (for example, the engine is turned off)…

I know that in Russian it is different.

idc what is better or worse

just please add a new MiG-29 version, its been over a year since the last new version of the 29 was added (29G and SMT, I will not count the 29B as a seperate version to the A)

MiG-29M (9-15 or 9-41), MiG-29K or MiG-35
but please just something man

Will giving Soviet a Premium MiG-29 would solve the terrible FM problem? Lol

A mig29 with 15% more powerful engines and fbw while being Just a bit heavier than the 9.13 would be considerably better than what we have rn

Really? I didn’t know.

Is it a different engine completely or a modified version?

It gets the rd-33k which has like 10% more thrust compared to rd-33 and a considerable amount of other improvements Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-29M (9-15) - what the fulcrum would have been

Sounds pretty cool thanks

Reverse psychology: Just give the US a MiG-29 premium (the FM gets changed with the release of the 90$ pack)

Dont forget that from the 29K onwards the Soviets used much sharper edges, increased aileron size and other aerodynamical changes which greatly improved flight performance

those are often overlooked but all the possible models Ive mentioned get those upgrades

quickly searched out a bit of stuff reliant on some reports of the MiG-29M (9-41) - take those with a HUGE grain of salt

MiG-29M has a 10% increase in Wing area
A 5% increase in climbrate
A 15% increase in acceleration
A 20% Increase in thrust
A max stable AOA capability increase from 25° to 35° (which is similiar to the hornets stable AOA maximum of 38°)
50% max internal fuel (and 70% increased range)
A Digital FBW
Aerodynamic stability even below 290km/h (before it was 370km/h)
