The MiG-29 is a jet fighter aircraft designed in the Soviet Union.
Yes MIG 29 is far superior to F16. MIG 29 engine can be maneuvered according to our requirement.
MiG-29 cost about $11 million.
Pakistan has more equipped and latest fighter planes as compared to Mig-29. F-16 5th generation and JF-17 are more capable fighter planes as compared to Mig-29.
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.
Pakistan relies mainly on 4 different kinds of fighter planes. F-16, JF-17 Thunder, Mirage III and F-7P are the names of these fighter planes. Mig-29 is less advanced as compared to JF-7 as Mig-29 is equipped with old technology which was engineered by Russia in 1973.
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.
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.
It will be unwise to compare these two aircrafts. But if said so, jf-17 is single engine aircraft therefore, the payload it will take will be much less. The other thing is that its thrust/weight ratio will directly depend upon the engine it carries. Currently it is said that the engine of JF-17 will be RD-93 which is used as one of the two engines in Mig-29 so in principle JF-17 should have atleast half the weight of MiG-29. JF-17 will be primarily used as air superiority aircraft on the other hand MiG-29 is a multi-role aircraft. The main advantages JF-17 will have over MiG-29 is the low maintenance cost and new airframe with composite materials.
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.
The most powerful combat aircraft in the World is the United States F-22 Raptor, Russian Mig-29, the republic of China and Taiwan Mig-35.
There really hasn't been any significant confrontation between the two to verify or dispute this. There are some on-paper advantages of the MiG-29, but, overall, it's a plane probably better compared to the F-18 rather than the F-15.
