It does not have RAM does not have AESA does not have pods. All just plans.

You are wrong. MiG-29 K / KUB has RAM.

The plane is able to attain very high angles of attack. It has upgraded pilot displays and radar-absorbent coatings to reduce its radar signature. The open architecture allows the installation of new equipment and weapons. The MiG-29K boasts composite materials and an integrated digital «fly-by-wire» system with multiple backups. It is designed to operate from unprepared airstrips with its air intakes specially protected against debris.

Zhuk ME is extremely capable mechanical. It is on par with F-18 E / F's APG-73. Rafale's AESA has no advantage over it.

MiG-29 K has RAM. Very small RCS. I doubt Rafale has smaller RCS.

The radar signature of the aircraft is reduced by four to five times over the basic MiG-29.

MiG-29 K can be easily upgraded with the modular Zhuk A AESA and the T220 EOT pod.
MIG-29K has the weaker engine for its size hence low T/W ratio @undertakerwwefan , in certain areas like air intake, wing leading edges, horizontal/vertical tails but RAFALE is also mostly using RAM/composite materials for all over RAFALE fuselage as compare to Mig-29K @undertakerwwefan :hitwall::hitwall::hitwall:

MiG-29 K empty weight 11,000 kg.

Rafale empty weight 10,300 kg 2 seat air force version.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dassault_Rafale

Not much difference. However, Rafale engine is only 16,860 lb power compared to MiG-29 K engine 19,800 lb power.

So MiG-29 K has better T/W ratio.

go retard worship and lick Russian military tech senselessly @undertakerwwefan Both are almost Same from your OP articles @undertakerwwefan

MIG-29K
RAFALE
  • Thrust/weight: 0.988 (100% fuel, 2 EM A2A missile, 2 IR A2A missile) version B
@undertakerwwefan ;):enjoy:

Same question can be asked. Why offer Rafale for export? Why only 5 countries in the world can make planes? Why the other countries can't make planes have to buy?
Sorry my mistake, i am asking that question to you that why they are offering MIG-29K with AESA, if MIG-29K mechanical radar is on par with RAFALE AESA you brain shit @undertakerwwefan o_O:hitwall:o_O:hitwall:o_O:hitwall:

That's like saying why F-18 E got APG-79 which is the AESA version of APG-73. Because it is evolution. Same capability. But easier servicing.
And russian developed AESA lot later than west/US instead they master in developing PESA which is inferior to AESA. First AESA of the world was developed by USA for UAE F-16 blk60 in early 2000 and Japanese F-2 in mid 90's and F-22 radar development completed in late 90's so they have the experience to build far more better AESA than russian, Russian are just a beginner in the development of AESA @undertakerwwefan :p::P;):enjoy:
