In the hands of countries who can afford to train their pilots and give them flight time like Russia or Germany etc, the Mig-29 can be a deadly adversary to come up against. Yeah, she lacks a little in the BVR department but if you're unlucky enough to merge with one of those things you better have brought your A game.

[@Canadian789119]

it's a good fight. Although one thing I like to keep in mind flying Pact planes is to try to rely on gun at closer range due to not having good off bore angles for missile launches where as nato you can get away with that. 23:00 you could drop throttle a bit to tighten your turn, You do lose some speed but if you make enough space you can get a good chance to get a R73 on him. You do need either a good lead shot or some distance for missile to maneuver Other wise really good tip on keeping thrust vector higher. That was helpful

We train this in Poland when F16 comes. I fly a couple of times on MiG 29 against F16. Great fun :-) As 3 gen avionics, this depends. Most MiG 29 have been upgraded, especially NATO ones, and lather production models for India starts with better avionics. In DCS not only is avionics from early versions but also not all options are also in. It's a pity the MiG 29 flight model in the DCS is broken, why too unstable, and with problems at low speed. I hope someone will make a decent high fidelity model in the future.

My buddy was a S-3 Viking pilot so he never “fought” anything other than tanker hops and boredom. He knew all the F-14 and F-18 guys and a few trained with the Luftwaffe. They all said the Mig 29’s only flaw was gas. In an all out fight it could only stay up for 20-25 minutes before it had to land. But that’s the achilles heel of all jets I guess. Great stuff GS!

[@MarkoLomovic]

It makes sense given its purpose and how it is set up to fight. Since it can be operated in worst conditions it has wider deployment. It is designed to take off and engage. I don't think russians had long missions for it in mind. That is why it is perfect craft for smaller nations that have defense as priority.

[@marduk87]

F-16 with no bags has exactly the same problem. If you wanna stay in the air atleast for a solid amount of time you gotta go dirty and take those 2 big bags.

[@thepewplace1370]

same issue with the F18 and definitely F16. The Hornet or Viper with no ext fuel will last just a few minutes at full burner.

[@VisibilityFoggy]

@aussiebear22 - The other reason MiG-29s have always seemed to be on the losing side in fights with NATO jets is a lack of AEW&C aircraft by a lot of MiG-29 customer states. In the Balkans, for example, there was one particular dogfight where a single MiG-29 pilot went into the sky pretty much blind and was immediately picked up by multiple flights of F-15s and F-16s. I forget which one shot him down, but it was an easy kill. It's a decent airframe, and it would've done better in Russian hands, where it would've been used for what it was designed to do. You had countries using these things against heavy air superiority fighters because they were all they had. It was never going to turn out well for them. It is interesting to note that the USSR was far more excited about this plane than the Flanker, though. MiG was held in much higher regard by the Communist Party than its competitors. After the fall of the USSR, the new Russian government seemed to shift favor to Sukhoi and develop the Flanker as the front-line fighter of choice - as well as focus export development on that platform rather than the Fulcrum. See: Su-30MKI which was produced in the hundreds. It would've been interesting to see what may have been if the MiG-35 was developed as well as it should've been and the MiG 1.44 was put into production (although there are rumors the Chinese J-20 is basically a MiG 1.44 ripoff).

[@AnIndianPatriot]

@@VisibilityFoggy this also depends upon the pilot, and also Mig 29s had an advantage of BVR against Pakistani F 16 in the Kargil War of 1999, India had a very great experience with it as a dogfighter but their main problem was their engine so India upgraded it.

[@tesarus8461]

Funny fact. Soviet Military Doctrine at that time assumed that in case of war all major airfields will be bombed (most probably with nuclear munitions). In order to maintain air force operable the ability to quickly prepare new airstrips was critical and almost all soviet planes had requirement to take off from and land to unpaved airfields (even heavy bombers like Tu-16 were able to do that). Despite the political ambition, almost everything in Soviet Doctrine was focused on defense which makes it opposite to US doctrine, which is focused on offense. This difference lay out huge differences in tactics which is unfortunately next to impossible to emulate in DCS due to limited interactions between different branches of armed forces.

[@tesarus8461]

Well if DCS is really going to do national doctrines, the mig pilots would all have to wait for their air controllers to tell them what to shoot at. Because the Soviets didn't trust pilots to make tactical decisions and their avionics provided poor situational awareness in those days.

The Air Chief Marshall (equivalent, 4-star General) of the Bangladesh Air Force is a colleague of mine. He used to fly MiG-29s in the BAF. When I was over in Pakistan, attending a space technology conference, I sat at the table with an Air Commodore (equivalent, 1-star General) during the gala dinner - not knowing he was ex-Pakistan Air Force who flew F-16s and here I was, flapping on about combat aircraft and air combat tactics. Since Bangladesh went for Russian aircraft (and also has Chinese aircraft in its fleet) but the Pakistanis went for American, I asked him why they chose that option and he said because the engineering of the wings/fuselage of Russian aircraft isn't the same standard as American production and therefore, it's more susceptible to fatigue with constant high-G manoeuvres.

Don't forget about the Fulcrum having the world's first off boresight targeting. The Fulcrum is a knife fighter, and once it's in range there is little that you can do against it. The Fulcrum actually achieves it's supermanoeuvrability without the use of a fly by wire, it is "perfectly balanced", this is extremely impressive as no western nation has ever produced a supermanoeuvrable plane without the use of fly by wire as supermanoeuvrable planes cannot be aerodynamically stable, they can either be unstable (very easy to achieve) or metastable (perfectly balanced).

i used to believe that MIG-29 is really until i met your youtube , Thank you for great information!

[@Hellrider401]

12:53 - "I think he hit me at least once"

[@devilsoffspring5519]

The 29 probably has the nicest external model in DCS World. Just thought I'd put that in :) (The F/A-18C is mighty nice too)

[@johnporten8303]

Love the intro bro. Great video! Can't wait for the full fidelity mig-29. Im not one to fly many russian aircraft but this one might be worth the buy! I havent messed with my fc3 planes in a while. Might be worth dusting them off and getting a little practice in, lol

The best Chanel for DCS.So good.

[@Wayoutthere]

Your camera angles are unrivaled in DCS vids.

[@kebman]

Coolest DCS vid I've seen in a long while! Thank you!

[@R0gue0ne]

Kudos to your opponent for having one last crack at you after taking fatal hits!

[@tommylakasi3022]

These shots after the kill are absolutely beautiful and cinematic!

[@Fastbikkel]

I've read a paper from a U.S.A.F. pilot stating that the (east german) mig-29's bled airspeed much faster than the F-16. It also breaks lock often and S.A suffers from the compromised view inside the cockpit. Even the mig-29 pilots favored the F-16. Sure on the initial turn the mig could get a kill. But if the pilot missed then the next turn he would be screwed. There was also something about the centerline external tank on the 29, can't remember details. I think it had to do that it could not be dropped safely while flying. And you really want an extra tank because it is thirsty.

14:35 - Dude almost pulled a successful “crazy Ivan” on you right there! Lols. Looked great while he was pullin his Mc twisty while taking fire and still firing at YOU. Almost got ya! 👍

[@omkarm.k2156]

Damn you never do videos of planes on the other side, this is going to be a fine evening...

[@thatnorwegianguy1986]

I hope one day we get a full study level version of the MIG-29 instead of the version we have now.

[@justiceforsethrichwwg1wga160]

So epic. Beautiful aircraft and flight characteristics

[@ATP-Flo]

Man I love your history lessons!!! :)

[@mikaels6009]

i love these videos when a fellow American or western individual gives a non bias truthful "talk" about Russian weapons. I notice there are a few popping up on you tube. As an American i really appreciate these because it gives an honest analysis and not just some Russian hater point of view! too many Russian haters who swear Russian weapons are junk when in reality they have some of the most popular, and numerically produced weapons around the world. Also that arrogance is what can get our young men and women in the service the wrong idea when going up against countries that have these machines. i think we as Americans became use to beating nations that have old, outdated versions. with minimal to no upgrades of import versions with pilots that has nowhere the amount of flight training or skills as Nato or actually Russian pilots. You got my Sub bro!

[@chrisdouglas4427]

Great fight, don't like watching my beloved F-16 smack into the dirt but GS is one hell of a driver. Dude anything you sit in you pretty much get the win, nice flying.

[@cbwelch4]

There are two planes for which I do not understand retirement, the F-14 and MiG-29. Both are badass adversaries.

[@rsjaurr]

15:23 great visual
