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


9-47 and there is some sort of a red plastic cover on top of this “rectangle”

this is the best close-up i could find. Doesn’t look as a vent but who knows.

From the same book, about MiG-29K 9-31

Anyone know a bit about the CM dispensers on the 9-15? they are mentioned as being mounted inside the spine of the aircraft but it doesnt look like there is any opening or something similar for it. Anyone also have any clear pics from the spine region of it

This image mentions them being mounted here

I tried to dig a bit as you can see above, but considering there’s barely any photos of 9-15 up close, as well as every single 9-15 being pre-production airframe that might not even have them installed. And if they are placed there -looking at Su-17 and how hard it is to actually find those 12 spine flares on photos even up close - good luck in searching.
