How do you fix it?
>>65645511Completely overhaul the electronics and replace the engines with a pair that don't suck donkey balls.
>>65645511but there is nothing wrong with it comrade, there is no need to be worried xaxaxa
>>65645511Proper maintenance.>>65645517this but unironically, the problem with Russian equipment is that they cannot maintain it because they're corrupt and sell all the spare parts and tools.
f110 engines western avionics done
>>65645511You can't fix it, its like its other migger precursers is a point defense fighter at the heart of its design. Adding more shit to make it more appropriate for modern air doctrine makes it more expensive than its bigger more flexible flanker counterpart. Its why the flanker linage has continued while mig 29 limped and died at the export market.
>>65645511You could make it modern, the way for example F-16s were made modern. The problem is that anyone who operates MiG-29s doesnt have the money to do that, and if they did, why not buy something new instead?
>>65645511More drones.
>>65645511Why you want fixes for mig? Is not good enough as procured from Mikoyan and Gurevich Design Bureau? You think needs improvement? Then maybe you find job with BBC of Russia! You have drinks with Artem Ivanovich Mikoyan, trade story of many airplanes designed and details of school for flight engineering!Or maybe you not do this. Probably is because you never design airplane in whole life. You look at fine Russian fighter, think it need crazy shit stick on all sides of airplane. You have disease of American capitalist, change thing that is fine for no reason except to look different from comrade. You add cheap electronics of Chinese slave factory, you put improved jet engine of American middle west inside, you put variable-sweep on wings so you are like American movie guy Maverick. Maybe you put sex dildo in cockpit to fuck yourself in asshole for making shameful travesty of fighter of Mikoyan and Gurevich, no?Plane is fine. You fuck it, it only get heavy and you still no hit largest side of weather balloon. Go to flight testing range, practice with many stack of missile. Then you not need dumb shit put on side of plane.
>>65645511its a point defence aircraft it was made to protect airports and its good at this and thats why they made mig 35
>>65645511Bomb
>>65645511It was infact a great aircraft in the 1980s, and could definetly give an F-16 a good run for its money back then, if crewed by non-retards. The problem is that the F-16 has evolved ever since, and it has not, so now its complete garbage, and you cant unfuck 30 years of development in a decent ammount of time.
>>65645511As per usual with Russia, the airframe is great, the avionics are ass.
My god! What have you been feeding her!?
Pinstripes, baby moon and flame paint
Aesthetically, absolutely nothing needs to be fixed. It's the best looking Russian aircraft ever made hands down. Functionality wise you need totally new engines that don't suck ass, completely new avionics, and an AESA radar.

>>65645517i'd like to claw out your fucking lungs
>>65645511just buy a 2nd hand FA18 and live a happy life
Not the best, but still my favorite.
>>65645527I don’t think you realize how small mig29s are. I doubt they could even fit dual 414s
>>65645511If we want her to fit the role of a cheap lightweight fighter we can look at the path the f-16 has taken. First and most importantly, conformal fuel tanks to extend range and then new AESA radar, avionics and data link to improve survivability and make her more useful. Finally, a complete overhaul of the cockpit. If you can do that without bloating the budget, she might see some success in the thirde export market.
>>65646302Romania had an upgrade program with for it that fit two F-16 engines + Israeli radar. Ofcourse that didn't adress the biggest issue the plane had - small fueltank
>>65645511UGM-109
>>65645668Mr. Chesnokov, put down that krokodil.
>>65645511Cram as many chinese electronic and whatnot in it
Fix? It's equal or superior in many aspects to its contemporaries.
Activate the smokescreen
>>65645826Working out at the bell tower I see
>>65645511Malaysia has 18 Mig-29. They are gathering dust since 2017 after we can't get new engines for them due to sanctions and very high maintenance costs. We can't sell them either nor upgrade them because Russia prohibits it unless we use Russian companies, and the US have them sanctioned. When they were in service, the only plus point for the Fulcrums were their unmatched climb rate. We regularly tested the Fulcrum against our own and USMC Hornets and they Fulcrums got btfod most of the time in air to air duels due to poor radar.
