Many people tend to label the MiG-29 as a terribly shortlegged fighter. While it’s internal fuel may be limited, some of the problems may be solved with the centreline tank. For example, the -A model had a range of 1500 km on internal fuel alone.

2100 km with the centreline tank is quite good. So why is the Fulcrum still labelled as one of the most shortlegged fighters?
