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

so from what this image says:

mig-29k only got the zhuk-m

mig-29 smt got the zhuk-m and mfe

idk if it says mig-29m or mig-35s on the third mig there its a bit hard to read but it got the zhuk-m and mfe

and the mig 29 mrca got the zhuk-m and mfe

i wonder what MiG-29K is mentioned here, 9-31 or 9-41. MiG-29s that were one MMRCA are 9-41S and 9-47S iirc, and they are based on the K.

i think its the 9.41 variant of the Ks since from what we know the 9.31 uses the normal n010 zhuk not the n010m zhuk-m like the 9.41 uses already

I wish these threads were more about talking about what we had in game and less talking about never-going-to-be-added variants tbh

problem is that gaijin has shown that they are unwilling to make any changes/fixes to the current mig 29s in game so most people have just lost hope about them, also the fact is that we have barley scratched the surface of all mig 29s out there with what is in the game.

It’s still so funny that we literally have TWO MiG-29 models in game, while F-16 has like what, 6 or 7 different versions? And they were added together.

we have 3 mig-29 models ingame

the 9.12, the 9.13 and the 9.19

9.12 and 9.13 are practically the same in game

still 2 different models

The only distinct feature of 9-13, a built-in jammer, not even modelled in-game.

Well, OVT first flight was in 2003, so brochure is probably from around the same time. In terms of specs, irrc OVT indeed used RD-33MK as the engines.

i mean it doesn’t match the ovt platcard, which has different stats, instead it matches up with the 2005 mig 29m brochure.

the OVT was mentioned as a available upgrade on their website for the 2005 migs

I’ve encountered a guy on social media that claimed to be one of the engineers that worked on TVC nozzles for OVT. Shared some general info about the work. According to him these nozzles are not only could be fitted to any RD-33 engine, but could be installed on any engine in general without extensive modifications required. Would make sense that TVC nozzles will be an available upgrade.

Yeah and still no 29M or 35S

No, that does not count as 2 models. Sorry. The difference is 200kgf in weight and nothing else.

its 2 models with different model numbers and different airframes

They are 99.9% identical and do not qualify in this context as “two different models” for the sake of comparison. There will be no budging or discussion on this. Facts are facts.

so if it wasnt for comparison they would be different models?

funny that the facts can change from one sentence to the other in the same post
