Venäjän sotateknologia kovassa nousussa

Hallen hävittäjäsivulilta, sielä niitä in enemmänkin.

Despite its apparent virtues, the MiG-29 has not fared well in actual combat use. It has flown in combat in the 1991 Gulf War, over Serbia, and in the Eritrea-Ethiopia conflict in 1999. At least a dozen have been shot down, with no victories. Some have seen this as a sign of the MiG-29's deficiencies, but it would perhaps be more accurate to say that 3rd world countries just don't have appropriate tactics, pilot training, advanced long range air-to-air missiles, and a complete air group (with electronic warfare, tactical recce, AWACS, and tanker support) to try a "fair" fight. In the Iraq and Serbia theatres, the US had taken the initiative and established complete air superiority very early on, giving MiG-29s little chance to respond and put up a challenge. In the latest U.S. invasion of Iraq, Mig-29s weren't even able to take off from airfields because of the absence of pilots. Many pundits such as the Federation of American Scientists recognize that in an individual matchup, the MiG-29 is potentially equal to, or better than the F-15 Eagle or F-16 Falcon. The MiG-29 also saw action during the Kargil War in Kashmir where Indian Air Force MiG-29s provided fighter escort for Mirage 2000s dropping Laser Guided Bombs (LGB) on enemy targets.

Jos Mig-29 on samaa luokkaa pätevän pilotin käsissä kuin F-15 ja F-16, niin Flankerit kuten Su-27, Su-30, Su-35 ja Su-37 ovat aivan takuulla parempia kun mikä tahansa länsikone.
