The "new" MiG-29SMT was split into two models, airframe numbers 9.18 and 9.19, and was developed throughout the early 2000s not only as Russia's new frontline fighter to replace the older MiG-29s, but also as a proper 4+ generation upgrade for export customers still using the older MiG-29A and MiG-29S, and as such was redesigned from the ground up.
U.S. Air Force F-15 Eagle. MiG-25PD Foxbat vs. F-15C Eagle . January 17th saw two Iraqi MiG-25s engage American F-15s at a time when the Eagles were flying an escort mission for a strike against Iraqi ground targets. The MiGs R-40 missiles failed to reach their targets, and the F-15s retaliated by firing ten missiles at the Foxbats.
Beyond raw aerodynamic performance, the F-35 offers a whole other dimension of tactical value through sensor fusion— namely, its ability to act as a force multiplier by using its onboard sensors
Originating as the U.S. response to the Soviet Union’s Mach 3 MiG-25 interceptor, the Mach 2.5 F-15 was built around a massive radar and sized to carry large long-range counter-air missiles. Beyond its large size (20 percent larger than the F-35), it was engineered before the advent of computers and digital fly-by-wire systems.
