I understand brother. Im just saying that the f16 viper is way superior then the mig 29. did not the mig 29-M version get introduced in 2005? I know that the su35 was the the variant that preceded the mig29M. We talking about a 4+ generation jet with 5 generation radar and avionics. We both can agree that western weaponry and technology is far way superior then the russians right in most fields of defence?we are not talking about the first generation mig-29A/B/S airframes , the mig-29M2 belongs to the second generation and it is a direct variant of the mig-29K/KR , the airframe has been strengthened for it to whistand a payload of 6.5 Tons , RCS reduction measures have been taken , up to date avionics and weapons , net-centric warfare capabilities were added .... we are talking about a whole new aircraft .
even it's aerodynamic sheme was ahead of it's time and matched only by the eurocanards and the Flanker .... a topic comparing the two aircrafts will be interesting and i will be pleased to debate with you on that matter .
