According to wikipedia, a russian Mig 29 has a top speed of Mach 2.25 (2.25 times faster than the speed of sound). Whereas an american f 16 has a top speed of Mach 2+. So apparently they both r the same but statistically Mig 29 is faster.
The FA/18 super hornet, MIG-29, Sukhoi, Tejas and many more
The F18 can achieve Mach 1.8 or so at 40,000 feet. The MiG-29 can go faster, or around Mach 2.25 at altitude. The MiG-28 was never built.
According to Wikipedia, a Mig-29 (the most commonly used mig currently) is "a 4th generation jet fighter aircraft designed for the air superiority role in the Soviet Union. Developed in the 1970s by the Mikoyan design bureau, it entered service with the Soviet Air Force in 1983, and remains in use by the Russian Air Force as well as in many other nations. NATO's reporting name for the MiG-29 is "Fulcrum", which was unofficially used by Soviet pilots in service.[1] It was developed to counter new American fighters such as the F-16 Fighting Falcon, and the F/A-18 Hornet" (Wikipedia - Mikoyan MiG-29). "Mig" is a general name of the Russian fighter aircraft. It is a shortened name for the aircraft made by the Mikoyan company. However over the years, "Mig" would refer to the current aircraft that was used by the Russians. So a pilot in the Viet Nam War might say he shot down a Mig which would refer to a Mig 21 jet. Sources Cited "Mikoyan MiG-35." 14 Jun 2008 . The name "MiG" stems from Mikoyan Gurivich, the aircraft designers.
as far as look is concerned they seem to b almost same but mig 29 is more efficient as far as vertical flying is concerned , I have personally seen them flying......................so mig29 is best...................................
The word MIG stands for Mikoyan Gurivech, an aerospace and defense aircraft company and was founded by Artem Mikoyanand Mikhail Gurevich, two Russians, as "Mikoyan and Gurevich." And, the company's headquarters are in Moscow, Russia's capital. so yes the MIG-29 is definitely a Russian airplane.
