Was it better than the su27?
>>64684015It had a completely different purpose you nonce.
>>64684015the CyxoN Cy-27 looks cooler therefore it's better
>>64684147The MiG-29 is a better looking plane than the goose necked faggot.
That's like asking if the F-16 was better than the F-15They have two different roles
>>64684731>MiG-15 < MiG-29 < Su-27what's your point?
>>64684015I prefer the Flanker over the Fulcrum but the Fitter is my favorite plane for how jank it looks>>64684731They both look like shit you PSA for incest
>>64684062>>64684738you people take your hair-splitting so seriously
>>64684738Yeah, their role being the strictly inferior cheapshit.
>>64684062>>64684738Retard here. What roles did each have? I'm going to make a guess and say MiG-29=interceptor and Su-27=air-superiority?
>>64684015SU-27s fought MIG-29s in Ethiopia or Eritrea or something and completely walked them in fairly close range combat.Doesn't necessary say anything besides about the condition / training, but overall the SU-27 has performed better.MIG-29 pioneered stuff like high-offbore helmed-qued, but fell off over time.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/February_1999_Eritrean%E2%80%93Ethiopian_aerial_clashes
>>64685072MIG-29 - short-range interceptor guided by radar, not offensive. Like the F-16, but even more short-range / dependent. Should theoretically win dogfightsSU-27 - straight up F-15 equivalent - all around beast. SU-34 is F-15E Strike Eagle equivalent.MIG-31M - long range interceptor, no equivalent in the US. Note that I am not saying an equivalent is needed etc, don't come at me with all the AESA / PESA superiority - I know, I am just saying the US doesn't make a dedicated straight-line fuck-hueg engines, fuck-hueg radar, fire and fuck off dedicated equivalent.
>>64685107Interesting. Where in the VKS was/is the Su-57 supposed to fit?
>>64685113SU-57 (all 10 of them) are a direct replacement for the SU-27 (or was supposed to be). It's built on the SU-27 platform.In reality its Armata tier in the sense that none of the future-gen tech got delivered, so it's basically a nice body kit with an internal bay.
>>64685132>SU-27 - straight up F-15 equivalent - all around beast. SU-34 is F-15E Strike Eagle equivalent.Is the Su-34 capable/effective at A2A?
>>64685202Capable? Yes. Effective? I wouldn't count on it.
>>64685202It's just a pigfat, slower, SU-27 with more payload. It will be significantly worse at anything other than lobbing a shitton of missiles , but SU-27 will fire first and hit first due to imparting more velocity onto the missile from more altitude in a traditional engagement.That's the long answer, the short answer is that it can defend itself marginally if it comes under fire while doing a bomb run. Less so than an F-15E
>>64685107>MIG-31M - long range interceptor, no equivalent in the USF-14
>>64685263Fair. Dem Phoenixes. As a counter-argument though, the Tomcat is much more capable close up.
