chuck yeager once said, all russian planes are copies of american planes. No mystery he said that. They look very similar.

take the mig 15 and the f86 sabre.

the mig 17 is a just a beefed up '15.

nobody for the mig 21

mig 23 : tornado?

mig 25 : F15

mig 29 : F18 hornet

Su24 : F111

Su25 : A10

Su27 : FA18 super hornet

S37/Su47 : X29

please respond

Yeah there are a lot of similarities ... the Americans and Russians went back and forth designing aircraft in response to each other during the cold war era.

For instance, when the Russians designed the MiG-25, the Americans designed the F-15 Eagle in response to that. The Russians then designed the MiG-29 and Su-27 in response to the F-15 and F-16.

Also, don't forget the Tu-144 and the Concorde (British/French), the Tu-160 and the B-1, the Buran and the Space Shuttle ...
