Mirage-2000H vs MiG-29B
Updated - 8th May 2012

Finally a long running debate comes to a closure, a debate which seemed never ending like the size of the cosmos itself. Now that may seem like an exaggeration but that was how the Aviation community found itself whenever the subject of Mirage-2000 & MiG-29 arose. The last time when someone tried to close the debate on F-16 & MiG-29, that someone turned out to be Code One Magazine, which is owned by none other than Lockheed Martin, which manufactures the bloody fighter! So naturally, not the unbiased of sources, Yes? However this time around, the source is a neutral bi-monthly aviation and defence magazine, called Vayu Aerospace, which operates out of a country that not only does not manufacture either of the fighters, but doesn't have any adversaries operating these two platforms to make the reporting of the events biased. Also is the fact that the said country is friendly to both the host countries of the Mirage-2000 and the MiG-29, France and the Soviet Union respectively. In addition to that, the pilots who flew both the fighters were all from that same neutral country too. A perfect setting if you ask me. So... lets find out from the Indian Air Force, how these two outstanding fighters performed when pitted against each other. As an added bonus, a passing reference to the performance of MiG-23MF is also made, don't miss it.

It's from a magazine. Clicky > Beauty vs the Beast

finally, a topic that has nothing to do with rape!

anyone with basic knowledge knows that no one can beat a mig29 in a low speed turn fight. USAF F15 pilots are taught to avoid close combat with MIG29 at all costs. how then can a delta wing like M2000 stand a chance?

US pilots that flew in exercises were also very impressed by the power generated by the mig-29 engines.The HMS and off boresight r-73 archer makes it lethal in close combat unless rival aircraft also has same combo

I think he was talking about a classical dog fight...

The current Rafales dont have thrust vectoring, thats all I know. A skilled pilot in an older plane can be extremely dangerous in WVR fights, because a 20 mm cannon round does not distinguish between a 4 gen fighter and a 4.5 gen fighter.
