Certainly not impossible, this is the MiG-29N with a Sidewinder. iirc the MiG-29 Sniper was also capable of using NATO Weapons but I don’t think it was ever seen.

a pod is also a easier process show me a rafale with r77-1 please or a f16 with R77 its like trying to put a Russian 125mm gun dart inside a 120mm Abrams gun
I have already explained why sidewinder is easier than putting aim120 on a mig29
It was advertised, but they probably never went through the effort to make that a reality, as there was next to no interest for the Sniper
?
That’s nothing alike at all
A better example would be like the Russians trying to use the German 88mm KwK in one of their T-series tanks
Modernization projects like the one’s we’re talking about are like replacing an old door in a wall that’s too small with a newer, larger one
What you’re suggesting is quote literally like keeping the old door and trying to drive a car through said door
Magics also.
There’s a good suggestion btw:

Mica IR
Is the one being fired not the radar guided variant?
It’s got the radar nose
the photo says MICA NG IR I have eyes
Thought so
We could also do the inverse as Finnish Drakens also had R13 missiles
Again you just said Nato weapons before so idk why you’re upset when countries have used Soviet vehicles with NATO weapons

That photo is of a display stand
Containing a rafale in the background
I suggest reading more than just the big letters
It just shows what the MICA looks like up close
