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

Sip sip sip sip

Jokes aside

The mig 29 could be put at 12.3 with little issue.

FM is a joke, gets 2 great missiles and 4 rubbish.

Mig21 bison gets 4 great missiles, probably better FM… well it doesnt stall if you loop. Sounds fair

Then US mains will cry their way into F-16A going to 12.0 because no SARH.

what are this third set of antennas on the back of the SMT in game? im looking at pics of SMTs irl they are all lacking this antenna or whatever it is. Also looking back at the original SMT devblog it lacked these aswell

looks like a L-150 antenna

and it is a thing IRL as well



It is indeed L-150 antennas. Other 2 are on the small pylons around wingtips

only Mig-29SMT demonstrators seem to not have the L-150 antennas

seeing that some of them lack it tho

they arent

they are just placed somewhere else

look on the inner side of the rudder

oh yeah mb

i also didnt notice them instantly

This one is a 9-18, not 9-19. These have SPO-15s iirc

It still should have 2 more somewhere. L-150 has 4 antennas.

could be part of the algerian SMTs that were returned and recommissioned in the Russian air force, saw some talk about them originally having the SPO-15 but being retrofitted with the L-150 after Russians adopted them. idk how true that is but yeah

Those are 9.19s, before the modernization to 9.19R standard, happened about 2013-14 give or take. (it’s what adds L-150 and BVP-5-08)
