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

it cant

just like the mig29 9.13 shouldnt be able to carry the 27er

Saw this one in Poland, was previously a german 29, and yes it has an IRST

Anyway, OTHER than the Trainers.

Since Gaijin gave the Rafale it’s export loadout with x8 MICAs, do you guys think the SMT can get its Upgraded Export Engines?

if you can prove that russia tested it

yes i think it is possible

mig29 only

I’d love to give it a try, but I never seem to be able to find good sources for the SMT, specifically the 9-19.

I just don’t want the SMT to be absolute doodoo anymore </3

Dookie Flight model, and no R-77-1…

The MiG-29 9.18 could be a reasonable compromise if the engine upgrade info cant found.

It would essentially be a SMT without the tumor on the back of it.

So it’s literally just a direct upgrade since it doesn’t have the heavier FM?

Why didn’t we just get this in the first place??

Because Gaijin.

Because Russian Bias, obviously.

Does it get the l-150 pastel rwr and the extra counter dispensers?

But it has no flares, on the single seaters the dispensers are an extension of the vertical stabilisers but the trainers don’t have them.

Its able to use the UV-5-08 CM Pods wich bring 30x CMs each (Large calibre)

Is that in addition to the standard 60 CMs the base MiG-29 has. I know it had the L-150, but i wasnt sure the extra CMs

Unfortunatly no


This is probably the worst change on the 29M 9.15 - they removed the top dispensing flares from the vertical stabilizers.
While apparently boosting the rudder performance - it forces the plane into a bottom flare dispensing patter with the UV-5 pods

maybe there are other CM pod options for the Fuel-tank pylon like on the MiG-21s but so far I havent found anything about that (hey but at least it gets MAWS)

yeeeeeees… I think it also was top 1 aircraft suggestion (tech trees excluded) in terms of views and poll answers… thanks everyone!
