Russian Fighters, I'm so confused
Posted: 08 Sep 2008, 21:27
OK, so I'm watching the show "Dogfights" on the History Channel, the episode about future dogfights, which is really interesting stuff btw, when they mention MIG-35s.
I must be behind the times because, to me they looked like MIG-29s. So I did some online research and it seems that the MIG-35 is an updated version of the MIG-29 with fly-by-wire, better avionics and thrust vectoring. Is that all there is to the differences or is there more than that?
Then I started comparing the Su-27, Su-33, Su-35, and the Su-37 and now I'm really confused?? I certainly wasn't paying attention in class that day.
