    You really have problems accepting reality.

    1. If you have a graph of 2 a/c clean then you can clearly see which one is more maneuverable period.

    2. You have two aircrafts: aircraft1- smaller, with weaker engines and lower T/W ratio and aircraft2- bigger with stronger engines and better T/W ratio. Now you hang bigger, draggier and heavier weapons on the aircraft1 and smaller, smoother and lighter weapons on aircraft2. Which aircraft would have more degraded performance? This is exactly the situation with the MiG-29 (ac1) and F-15A (ac2)

    What weapons are you talking, you even do not show a F-15A/C graph with weapons, the MiG-29 graph shows you two AA-10s Alamos and 4 AA-8s Aphids, the Graph you are showing it`s showing basicly at sea level and a clean aircraft, the MiG-29 shows you the turn radious at 1000 meters or 3000 feet, now you claim the F-15 is more agile, but at sea level has 21 deg/s turn, what is going to be its turn rate at 1000 meters with 4 sparrows and 4 sidewinder? do you expect 21 deg/s? later you say that a bigger aircraft will have smaller cross section, hahahahaha do not make me laugh, the MiG-29 has its smaller radious at 400 km/h and it is really small, less than 500 meters.

    You even say that even Cesar Rodrigez was wrong hahahaha, the MiG-29 for sure is not the less agile, what i wanted to know is the difference.

    OMG:eek:

    Man, in your manual you have graphs with 2 lines (solid and dashed) for a clean MiG and for the MiG with some weapons. Compare them and then try to prove that I was wrong. You have everything you need.

    I know that but what is the porpuse of having an F-15 without weapons that drops from sea level 21de/s to 3000 meters 16deg/s Turn rate compared with a MiG-29 with weapons? your graph has a clean F-15A/C without weapons so what it is useful for? nothing the MiG-29 is carrying weapons and the difference without weapons is really small

    interesting it say clean configuration F-15C, then that is not with weapons as the MiG-29 since it is not carrying weapons, your graph then does not contradict what has been said in the you tube videos

    see

    F-15 STR

    😮

    No you can compare g-graph and rate of turn graph of the F-15 and compare it to MiG-29 g-graph. Draw your own conclusions.

    your graph has a problem it does not mention weight, it is hard to compare since the one on the MiG-29 it is carrying two AA-10s and 4 AA-8 and at it has at 1000 meters of altitude and 5000 meters so it is not easy to make a comparation, however if you want to compare more check this other one
    http://www.airwar.ru/other/bibl/su27mh.html this is the Su-27 compared to the F-15

    i will put it harder for you give me the turn rate or at least the turn radius, here is the link if you want to download it by your self remember it is in Russian go to page 206 and you will find the information you want

    On the youtube video it was minimal radius turn not the quickest turn. However I don’t know if you realise whats the difference…

    well read again what i said i gave you the quickest turn for the MiG-29 the minimal radius falls below 500 mtrs and still will be between 25 seconds and 20 seconds something in the range of 22

    So if you have the manual and still can’t see those figures I posted yesterday then I’m sorry for you.

    let us do this you post first okay you are the one who says you have the information and the manual. you go first okay post the page that shows all the data you claim
    .

    And how is that related to what you quote?

    The result of the ITR and STR in an aircraft turn is just a slightly higher angular velocity than the STR. for the F-15 to have a STR as the MiG-29 has to have a turn radius lower than 1000mtrs and a time of turn lower than 20 seconds, this is at an altitude of 1000 meters and a speed between 600km/h and 900km/h

    Do you think that I care if you believe me or not? I just tell you what are the facts. You may not believe me and still live in your fantasy world of Eagle performing like a Phantom and MiG-29 doing 22 deg STR @ 10 000 ft… BTW: my figures for the MiG-29 are from Luftwaffe manual, so they’re not in Russian. Try to look for a manual GAF T.O. 1F-MIG29-1 and manual TO-1F-15A-1 – this should help you enough.

    hahahaha yeah my friend you know you can get the one in Russian, just look on the internet just type MiG-29 manual in russian and you will get it, just look and mother russia will give it to you. in fact i am still not believing you

    More like 20 sec. But this still tells us nothing. Do you know the speed of this F-15? The F-15 has 21* STR at a speed of ~865 km/h. Was this F-15 flying at that speed? I don’t think so.

    the ITR basicly does not change too much the turn, it is the STR what matters, the ITR is just for start banking and it is very really short the time it will act on the aircraft turn, once it starts turning the aircraft`s STR will keep an average angular velocity.

    Kiwinopal, so you’re saying that you base your knowledge on some youtube videos or someone’s personal opinion (which a/c is better) rather than on actual data. My numbers are from MiG-29 manual and F-15 manual. (F-15 GW: 35000 lb, MiG-29 GW: 13000kg)

    Do you have a better source than mine? Prove that I’m wrong. I don’t think you can, but you can always try.

    BTW: If you really believe that the Eagle has a max STR of 16 deg (F-4 Phantom-like 7g a/c performance) then I’m not sure if anyone should treat you seriously…

    I can illustrate to you the difference in maneuverability between aircraft like the F-4 and F-16.

    i will believe you if you post them, if you do not post the MiG-29 page by page in Russian where you can see the flight envelope and the same for the F-15 i won`t believe you.

    India do not operate MIG 35, it is being offered as the MRCA but it is unlikely to be selected. India is buying MIG 29 Ks and upgrading the MIG 29As to UPG standards with new radar avionics and engines.

    I don’t recall which versions Syria and Burma bought SMT may be ?

    Unless there is an Indo PAK war, I doubt MIG 29s will face the American types on a level playing field.

    okay the MiG-29K but that is basicly the naval version of the MiG-35.
    But the whole point is with the MiG-35 russia has developed a fighter very different from the early Su-11, Su-15s, MiG-25 and MiG-23P that were very dependant of GCI units, and that started with the MiG-29M

    That TV show is entertaining but it isn’t intel. If that is all you have, then you need to dig a little harder.

    But, in any case, these arguments pertaining to air-to-air “superiority that focus only on performance values are extremely misleading…as any conflict from WW1 to the present has shown. What determines a kill is the skill of the pilot in the cockpit…not the type of aircraft that cockpit is in.

    I know what you want, you want quantify and know where each aircraft has advantages and disadvantages, saddly i can not give that to you.
    but if you believe Terrence Fornof and Rico Rodrigez you get pretty much the idea the MiG-29 is much more agile in turn rates than the F-15, because both are F-15 pilots, in the case of Rico, well a retired F-15C pilot

    In a close in dogfight the Fulcrum may have an edge over the F 15 but in everything else it is easily beaten. Flanker vs Eagle is the real fight.

    Btw. that Vayu link and comments of Terrence Fornof were discussed to death here and is generally concluded that he was talking trash (read the comments and analysis at the end) to a bunch of oldies. But even then he clearly says that the Su 30 is better than than the F 15/16.

    i kind of agree with you, only if you consider what versions were involved and that weapons were used.

    In the case of the gulf war, AIM-7s were used and the F-15 were vectored by AWACs, and Rico`s MiG-29 crashed into the ground, what can you say that in two ocassions an Iraqi Mirage F1 and a MiG-29 crashed into the ground, well that the these two Iraqi pilots did not have the right skills to fly their airplanes.
    They do not mention any Iraqi AWACs supporting the MiG-29s.

    The Serbian case is different, the F-15 had AWACs support and fired an AIM-120, the Serbians did not have any AWACs support.
    as the american acount goes, they were never fired upon, so it means the MiG-29 has not the right interface for BVR, specially if the other guy has AWACs support.

    In Africa things might be more even, the Flanker is not so different to the Fulcrum, the only difference i see is the Su-27 has a longer range radar, the R-27 failed a lot, and unlucky for the Fulcrum, their R-27 did not score.
    The Flanker did score.

    Terrence Fornof`s comments only supported what has been written about the F-15 turning ability in other books and webpages.

    Now a modern MiG-35 has fixed all the drawbacks of earlier MiG-29As in terms of avionics and radar and armed with new weapons is a good fighter that is the reason why India still buys them and Burma and Syria got a few in 2010. In the case of Burma, it won the tender against the J-10.
    So as to say a MiG-35 will have the same fate of the MiG-29A that fought F-15s well it is hard to say specially if it has AWACs support.

    I asked for EM diagrams, not YouTube video.

    the you tube video has F-15 pilots that killed the MiG-29s saying the MiG-29 is more agile than the F-15 if you want diagram specifics well i have no F-15 or MiG-29 manuals, but the people that flew F-15s are telling you already 16 deg/s STR
