| The Russia's MiG-29 Fighter is Here To Compete With the United States' F-15 Eagle And F-16 |
International Military - Some fighter aircraft are claimed to have more advantages over others. This is to attract other countries to buy it. Fighter aircraft that are said to have extraordinary advantages include the US Air Force's F-15 Eagle and F-16 Fighting Falcon.
However, it seems that the existence of the F-15 Eagle and F-16 Fighting Falcon fighter aircraft is slightly rivaled. Quoted from 19fortyfive, it is stated that the MiG 29 Fulcrum is equivalent to the US F-15 and F-16.
This was conveyed by several experts. However, does the MiG-29 the fourth generation fighter have the same power as the F-15 and F-16?
In the case of Serbia, the MiG-29 was shot down by an F-16. Several times, the Mig-29 was also defeated by the US military. While in Iraq, the Mig-29 reportedly crashed. The incident resulted in the pilot's death.
Even so, the two things above do not make the MiG-29 come with a flawed design. The MiG-29 is still considered a worthy aircraft to fight on the battlefield.
One of them is for Russia, which has MiG-29s to carry out attacks against Ukraine. In some reports, the MiG-29 has successfully demonstrated its combat skills.
Therefore, the MiG-29's capabilities are said to be comparable to the two phenomenal fighter aircraft F-15 and F-16. Even some experts agree that the MiG-29 was explicitly designed to fight the F-15 and F-16.
But one anonymous author says in a different perspective. He said that the MiG-29 was not made for close air combat.
However, it was used by the Soviet bloc air force as an interceptor. The Mig-29 is designed to be able to reach the required heights, to be able to develop supersonic speeds.
