STR matches very good with charts, MiGs issue is the laughable drag at tighter turns for less lift than competitors. Su-27SM and MiG-29 produce the same drag at around 600km/h as of now

While turning or in a straight line? In my experience as long as the mig 29 is kept below around ~17ish aoa it performs quite normal, when you go above like ~23ish aoa though it just starts falling out the air
Turning full stick, i think it was like 40 tons of drag
Well, there is a pretty interesting pod on the right nacelle. Zero clue what it’s supposed to be but it has something resembling a bulb. Can’t find any close-up photos unfortunately.
This what mig 35 stuck with

You said in the report that the 9.13 and the G have the same airframe, but isn’t the G a 9.12 (therefore lighter)?
I’m pretty sure he weight normalized it. In test flight you can edit the weight of air craft, so what he did is remove some weight from 9.13

I hope the report is accepted.
Also I need to learn to read these graphs. Anyone got a class/tutorial to interpret them?

Yes, I recommend a video by squishgace. He goes into deep dives into a bunch of flight models using charts such as those. Lemme go find it

It’s a bit long but he goes into great detail about how to read it. Also you can watch other videos on flight models where he also goes over othe graphs for other planes.

That’s not impressive
Serbian MiG-29SM has L-150
Have any photos of that? L-150 is pretty easy to find
This will be closed, like the others. You haven’t proven why the 14,200 mass is relevant for the charts; moreover, such figures don’t look realistic at that mass.

Curious, this one seems to be 29S, considering RVV-AE compatibility. But I would love to look at the photos of the jets themselves.
Actually scratch that, guided AtG weapons make it MiG-29SM
Suppose if Gaijin are planning a MiG-29 Sniper equivalent premium in the USSR tree, could end up that
