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

so now we are going for personal preferences. Then link a source from where you got that random table that doesn’t even elaborate on why it says so but you for some reasone believe it unquestionably.

ok, this is a kindergarten level of arguments. It has similar numbers so it was developed from it.

  1. no
  2. there is no i-90 program after 1991

miss
and money its not the main problem after 1991

i was sended you two big proofs of similarities
the bypass ratio is proof to

Spoiler

first you tell me is :

dispute is over

This is no proof. You still haven’t sent a source from where you got this table. And the schemes of both engines have enough differences to don’t even take your words seriously. So either link a full source or stop saying complete nonsense

There isn’t really anything classified about the fulcrum nowadays

  1. no
  2. there is no i-90 program after 1991

1.44’s only prototype wasn’t assembled in early 1994?

And money was the main problem, seeing as it was almost entirely cut in '95 leading to the stagnation and eventual cancellation of the MFI program? You can’t exactly develop a program without funding?

Either way none of what you’ve said points to ANY SEMBLANCE of MFI being ready for production…

MiG-31*

Tehcnically this is interceptor. At least by USSR classification.

Can confirm. Air superiority Su-24 and Su-17M4 have a special place in my heart.

0.49 * 1.13 ratio ≈ 0.57
