Fulcrum. Multi-Role Fighter. DESCRIPTION: The MiG-29 was designed as a replacement for the MiG-21, MiG-23, Su-15 and Su-17 fighters. While its overall appearance is similar to that of the American F/A-18 Hornet, the MiG-29 incorporates much larger and deeper leading-edge root extensions (LERX) for good maneuverability at high angles of attack.
The MIG-35 has an advantage in combat thanks to its TVC and sophisticated missile warning systems. Due to the use of contemporary materials in the production of cooled blades, RD-33 engines produce 7% more power than the standard model. The engines produce 9,000kgf of above-average thrust.
There's so much stuff they can get within the next year while germany is pretty much shafted. german mig29 out rates the russian mig29 and can turn inside f-16a block 10 if it doesn't put the enemy in lag pursuit. USSR tree is overall more future proof, but you also have to grind through a lot more aircraft.
In one sense neither the MIG-29K or F-18 are likely to operate with an ability to compete against stealthy, 5th-gen Chinese J-20s or J-31s, yet to the extent that major warfare might extend over
