Why, Harlava, why!!!

Ignore the obvious trolling.

I know prolly because they did not have a good enough engine for a single engined fighter back then ?

Anyway if it was single engined it would have fared much better in RuAF now.

You are aware the RuAF made a specific decision to phase out all 1 engine fighters in the 90s?

And no, they went for 2 engines not because they did not have a good enough engine, AL-31 existed back then. 😉

Once again, do you have any information that MIG desired a one engine solution, but faced with a shortage of acceptable engines, decided to go for the inferior 2 engine layout?

That’s like saying, F-22 designers only went 2 engine because a single engine did not exist to meet their demands. Yeah….so?

They have operated single engined fighters in the past, it was their inability to produce a suitable engine for the MIG 29 that resulted in it being twin engined, and ultimately led to its high LCC.

Do you have information that they tried to make a single engine for the MiG-29? 😉

It was 2 engined from the start.

Yeah but 6 slots for smaller missiles is pointless if it ends up carrying larger AAMS in the end.

This is what I think of your satellite corrected bombs.

Some decent footage of Mi-28s working the range.

Su-25SM with an interesting payload.

TR1, I think Hotdog understands your view all right, he’s just setting up a trap for you so that you can keep feeding the troll.

Yep, I agree. Not bothering anymore.

misleading video because the camera angle is positioned below the pilot, or what we call… a groins eye view where the seat is blocking that metal part

how about this

you can see the view line from the pilots head… Su-27 pilot will not get the hot chinese chick.

Honestly hotdog, are you purposefully being dumb?

I will repeat once more. The only part where the vision would be blocked by the metal is where the pilot would have a hard if not impossible time actually cranking his neck to. Vision or no vision there makes zero difference.

That video shows perfectly the Su-27s all round vision.
