The MiG-35’s horizontal tails are broader than those of the MiG-29, which are slimmer in comparison. The Mig-27 boasts a maximum speed of Mach 1.7 and a service ceiling of 40,000 feet On Sep. 27, 1987, three pairs of Mirages were deployed at low level over southern Angola, inciting Cuban-flown MiG-23MLs into a series of engagements. The first pair of Mirages was then vectored towards a pair of MiG-23MLs that was protecting a formation of several helicopters. 1. no idea how you got so many soviet losses. Fishbed was used sparingly in Vietnam. for mig 23 you’re combining the mig 27 which is a bomber. It’s like counting the A7 as a crusader. 2. obviously ukraine war changes the numbers a lot. 3. the air force overclaimed in the gulf war. The Mikoyan MiG-27, NATO reporting name "Flogger", is an attack variant of the MiG-23. It did not recieve widespread use outside of Russia. At the end of the 1960s, the Soviet Union started development of a fighter aircraft, able to strike at ground targets and to perform massive hits against enemy targets. Other criteria was to be as invulnerable as possible against jammer systems and to be The differences between MiG-27 and Su-24 are range and payload; the MiG-27 will operate on frontline airbases and attack individual front line targets like tanks and bunkers. The Su-24 has almost triple the range and payload; which shifts the mission to more important regional theater targets, I.E. supply/radar/command positions behind enemy USAF F-16 vs. IQAF MiG-25. On the morning of 27 December 1992, Iraqi MiG-25s repeatedly penetrated the southern no-fly zone, south of the 32nd parallel. A flight of USAF F-16s, led by Capt. Gary North, was conducting a patrol as part of Operation Southern Watch when a MiG-25 crossed the parallel to their west, and proceeded towards North's flight. The Trump MiG-21 is a nice kit as is the MiG-23 but both are older airframes if you want an "opponent" for something modern like the F-16. Personally, I'd put a MiG-29 next to an F-16 and an Su-27 next to an F-15 if I were matching them up for size and role. Yes the MiG-29 gets expensive if you want anything remotely accurate. Mig-23 vs Peruvain Mig-29 cost. Hello Flogger. Since your knowledge of the Mig-23/27 series is very strong I’ll direct this at you but others feel free to add in. In 1995 after the Peruvian-Ecuadorian border war Peru’s air force went out and bought in the following year 18 used Mig-29s from Belarus. The MIG-29 is just an inefficient aircraft to operate. Mig 29 costing upward of 11-13k euros per hours to operate and F-16s costing 9-8K per hour to operate. This is also compounded by the fact that the main source of (original new production) Mig 29 parts is currently busy dealing with domestic orders and a war so prices have increased.
