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

it is mentioned that the later prototypes featured the L-150 according to some sources


well, this photo you posted looks to be very early one (you can see fake air intakes painted over for the sake of secrecy), and it already has black dots where L-150 antennas would be.

Every single 9.15 airframe (from 151 to 156) pretty much had almost full kit in them, apart from maybe countermeasures dispencers. 151 only differs in terms of engines and cockpit (initially it also didn’t had fire control system but it was installed later) and 156 has different cockpit layout. 154 also used for EW suite test so it might’ve had CM dispencers installed as well.

29M is actually not much heavier compared to 9.13. Although i have a feeling that some dimensions feel off.

It seems only Sukhoi is capable of creating good looking 2-seaters (even modern fulcrum 2-seaters look kinda mid compared to Flankers)
