A lot of people seem to bash this aircraft but really dont know about it. The MiG-29 is an amazing aircraft but its reputation was really damaged by the incompetent fools that bought and flew them. In the hands of the german pilots during training exercises they always wiped the floor with the F-16s,15s and 18s and american pilots who got the chance to ride in the back seat were very impressed with the aircraft. And iraqs AF lacked skilled pilots and AWACS which NATO had.
@bittemeinrammstein it's old info. Today our fighter pilots fly quite a lot, not as much as in NATO(Sweden o Germany for ex.) but still much more than in 90's
This documentary has so much great footage of production/testing the MiG 29. I miss the Wings Channel.
Moussorgski, Pictures at an Exhibition. It's one of the promenades between the movements.

@2011Decision the mig-29 SMT version is comparable with f-16 c/d 60. mig-35 is 4.5th generation jet cannot be comparable to f-16
Helmet Mounted Sight!! :D

Russian pilots are getting 21 hours of flight time per year...
@DandAinTac well when faceing f16s in real life they def got great bang for the buck....with there ejection seats lol :p
@jedijaffy56 don't forget the avionics for the mig 29 that Iraqis had they always revived downgraded planes
