Well some one say Pakistan can't afford twin engine. Pak been using and maintaining twin engines for decade. Plus Mig29 is useless when F16 already in inventory . Mig29 been shotdown my F16 more then one time. Its not necessary bulky plane which carry lots of load can provide proper air and ground cover. When specially in this era when low flying concept is suicidal for any pilot.
It's not that simple, export versions of the Mig-29 all came with dowgraded EW suits. Moreover, Iraqi, and Serbian Mig-29's were in horrible conditions; some had no functing radars, and the biggest factor was the pilots. In the hands of good pilots the Mig-29 is very lethal. Outdated German Mig-29 had no problems against F-16's and F-18's in mock combat.
Isn't this the plane that's long been famous for crashing at air shows? If I was an Indian I'm not sure I'd be scared of it, but if I was a Pakistani I sure would be!
There has been two Mig-29 crashes at airshows. One was from a bird strike and the other was a collision due to cloud cover. If you would like a can pull up videos of American F-18's, F-16's, and F-14's crashing at airshows.
Simple answer is we dont buy **** Russi Stuff....
ah ha, and R-33's, MI-17's, IL-78, and AK-101/103's arn't Russian?
