Message: fyi--the russian military is not getting its flight hours in. most pilots do very little flying as there is no money in the budget to get them airborne. You are wrong man, russian government would take last money from people, to make it's army going. Why do you think Russia still has one of the best air forces in the world and why country is so poor but it still developes planes like su-37 and su-47.

I am not trying to protect Russian aircraft, because i am Russian. I just telling how it realy is. Soviets tryed to make super fast , super maneuvrable fighter and put millions in it to make it work. Mig-29 was made in 1970 , West could get this performance only in 15 years. It's still capable in fighting fourth jeneration aircraft. So some western people make fun of this fighter like it doesn't have some computers, but it was made perfect for 1970 and it still continuous to be the most frighten fighter in the west. If you relly want to compare some planes, compare tha year and purpose too.

Yep mig 29 was easily the best aircraft in the air until the the f-15 only manged to compete with it. Also in many areas even now Russia is ahead in technology once Russia gets its economy sorted out which it is trying to do now the Russians will craft based on the mgi 1.42 in the air and the US will lose global air domince.

the mig is one of the best dogfighters of this generation eg, not compared to f-22 su-37 mig 1.42 etc but its main downfall is its crummy fuel economy, its top speed is nowhere near the speed of the xb-70 valkyrie or the sr-71 blackbird but it was king until the f-16 came along, the f-16 kicks its &*#, anyone seen red flag vids from last yr?
some good footage on them

The reason the XB-70 was so fast is because of the engines that were in it and because at the altitudes that it was flying at there is less air which also means less friction to slow the aircraft down. fighters are not meant to fly at those altitudes. The same is also true with the SR-71. Only aircraft designed to fly at those altitudes can travel at those speeds. That is why a mig-29 can't fly as fast as the XB-70 or a SR-71. And a F-16 doesn't stand a chance against any F-15. I've seen it in person.
