Actually is quite the opposite:During the cold war both the planes were developed to counter each other and both were said to be basically the same on the basis of specs. But with time, they have developed in rather different ways and are housed by two countries who have been in a situation of war even before they were planned........
In the beginning they were very different planes: F-16 was light fighter-bomber, while MiG-29 was medium frontal fighter.
But with time both developed into medium multirole fighters. Although F-16 is still considerably lighter than MiG-29.
