F/A-18 vs MiG-29 Dogfight
Writing by Tolip on Monday, 15 of October , 2007 at 5:51 pm
On April 17, 2002, the Swiss Air Force invited the German Luftwaffe MiG-29 Fulcrums to a two week exercise, where pilots from both sides were to engage in DACT (Dissimilar Air Combat Training). It was not the first time German MiGs were called upon to confront western pilots with the much feared Russian myth, it was however the first time MiGs were deployed over the Alps. This is an edited video of the action that took place over the mountains.

F-18, terrible aircraft, no wonder one was shot down by a MiG-25 in Iraq. It lacks agility and quality radar systems. It didn’t stand a chance against the MiG-29. The MiG-29 was probably the best aircraft of its day (the Su-27 may have been better) and some of the latest ugrades of the MiG-29 (such as the MiG-29M and MiG-35) could probably take on aircraft such as the F-22 Raptor (these upgrades may have been a hasty response to new US aircraft).

Apparently Jim has never been in the military, so it is easy to sit on his ass & speculate. I would like to meet you Jim, & shove an apple pie in your ignorant ass. I figure your just an adolesant who just makes statements, just to piss people off. You should never judge your apponet too lightly, or you’ll end up dead. Tell me about this incident that no one else does.

Well Jimo, I was in the Navy and I think the F-18 is a terrible aircraft also. The shit bucket F4 was the fighter of my day. F-8 was a better plane. (The Navy has a record of bad choices.) They got rid of their attack aircraft for this “wonder”… Better hope the F-35 pans out cause their stuck with this dud until then. The F-18 IS outclassed by most new generation of fighter aircraft made worldwide. True, pilot training has a lot to do with it but foreign pilot training is getting better every year. So please, sit down, relax your puckered butthole and enjoy your apple pie….

This is to comment by Jimo.You are stupid ignorant dumb ass better shut f..ck up you p..sy loud mouth.You don’t know sheet about military around the world,probably learn how great u.s military from history and military channels,which have been made in a USA.Russian SU-35 is a latest development of Sukhoy company.In air show in Farngboroe(England),Russians asked Americans in front of every body to do dog fight with any american aircraft(including f-22).Americans ignored them,because simply they don’t want be embarassed in front of rest of the World.As far as mig-29,germans mig-29 in 2004 flew in U.S. for combat training with americans.Mig-29s kick the shit of F_15,16 and 18 so bad,americans don’t want even mension this any where.As far as f-22,it is expensive toy which is in real war not going to make it.Also,as far as stealth technology,in serbian war f-117 have been shout down by russian made missle made in 60s.Use modern radars and you will see all this crap in sky as never senn before.
Chao ass ….e

Seriously, this is going beyond National Spam War…
Lemme make it straight
Air to air: Mig-29 > F-16 > F-18
Air to Ground: F-18 >F-16 > MiG-29
Result: MiG-29 > F-18
see?
F-18 pretty much a Multirole (An combat aircraft that proven equal in terms of delivering AA and AG armament)while F-16 is a Strike Fighter (Fighter that considerable capability to deliver AG armament) which makes F-16 better Dogfighter, but when MiG-29 comes, good bye to both.
I’m not saying F-18 is a bad Aircraft, it’s just about DESIGN OF FUNCTIONALITY! and F-16 was intended to be Cheap, Lightweight Fighter that composed most of USAF fighter in the first place, while MiG-29, not so much (rather expensive….).
If you seek for more proper “Enemy” for F-16, MiG-23 is considerable.
For F-4, there’s nice MiG-25 (which both of them are, INTERCEPTOR, not truly a fighter)
and for more advanced F-15 variants, we have Su-35, I considered them equivalent, one can take down another depending on situation.
And don’t make me start about MiG-21 because it’s enemies are F-5…which is not even placed in front line thus never EVER facing each other.

f-18 is the worst maneovurable fighter among all the present day fighters.it has been proved again and again in various exercises like pacific vision.while the mig 29 is the most maneouvarable
4th generation fighter,better than all existing american fighters.

seamonster you sir are a dumbarse, that F-117 didnt get shot down by a missile, it was shot down by anti air ground fire, check your research before embarrassing yourself.
