MiG-29SMT vs F-18C

continuing from my comrade in arms, Garray’s thread..

me thinks the MiG-29 series only now barely reaches F-18C standards (keeping in mind the F-18C came out decade ago, while the MiG-29SMT is just 2-3 years recent), let alone F-18E..

but my lovely New Zealand friend thinks the MiG-29SMT is superior to the F-18C, and perhaps in his opinion even the E/F..but lets stick to the SMT vs C variants.

some eye candy for you folks

MiG-29

the most recent SMT cockpit, looks somewhat comparable to the decace old F-18C

it’s air to ground ordinance…. on the ground!

A pilot under the influence 😉

F-18C

on the way to drop real ground ordinances in live combat

cockpit of an F-18C, not bad for something a decade ago

it’s always had an aeriel refuelling capability
