MiG29 SMT Vs Gripen NG

In Dog fight, Mig 29 is unparallel and beatable by Su 30 onward series and F 22 only. NG is also a very good plane but I do not think that it can stand against mig in close combat. My 2 cent.

Yes, both flies.

Weapons of the MiG-29
The MiG-29 fighter is equipped with seven external weapon hardpoints. The aircraft can carry: up to two R-27 air-to-air medium-range missiles; six R-73 and R-60 air-to-air short range missiles; four pods of S-5, S-8, S-24 unguided rockets; air bombs weighing up to 3,000kg and 30mm built-in aircraft gun with 150 rounds of ammunition.

The R-27 medium-range air-to-air missile is supplied by the Vympel State Engineering Design Bureau, based in Moscow. The R-27 is available in two configurations: the R-27R, which has a semi-active radar homing head and inertial navigation control with a radio link and the R-27T missile, which is fitted with an infrared homing head.

The missile can intercept targets with a speed of up to 3,500km/h at altitudes from 0.02-27km, and the maximum vertical separation between the aircraft and the target is 10km.

The Vympel R-73 missile is an all-aspect, short-range air-to-air missile known by the Nato codename AA-11 Archer. The missile has cooled infrared homing and can intercept targets at altitudes between 0.02 and 20km, target g-load to 12g, and with target speeds to 2,500km/h.

The Vympel R-60 (Nato codename AA-8 Aphid) short-range air-to-air missile can engage targets manoeuvring at an acceleration up to 12g. The R-60M has an expanded range of target designation angles to ±20°, a heavier warhead and an upgraded infrared homing head with photodetector cooling.

Targeting systems
The aircraft is equipped with an information and fire control radar system comprising: an N-019 radar developed by Phazotron Research and Production Company, Moscow; an infrared search and track sensor; a laser rangefinder and a helmet-mounted target designator.

For longer-range air combat, the MiG-29 uses radar guidance for the R-27 missile.

Thales TopSight-E helmet-mounted sight and display (HMDS) is being fitted to aircraft for the Indian Navy. Integration phase of the upgrade encompassing ejection seats, weapon delivery and navigation system was completed in November 2009. Thales will also supply TOTEM 3000 Inertial Navigation and GPS.

MiG-29 engines
The MiG-29 is equipped with two RD-33 turbofan engines.

"The mission of the MiG-29 is to destroy hostile air targets within radar coverage limits and to destroy ground targets."
The MiG-29 is the world's first aircraft fitted with dual-mode air intakes. During flight, the open air intakes feed air to the engines.

While moving on the ground, the air intakes are closed and air is fed through the louvres on the upper surface of the wing root to prevent ingestion of foreign objects from the runway. This is particularly important when operating from poorly prepared airfields.

The engines provide a maximum speed of 2,400km/h at altitude and 1,500km/h near the ground and the service ceiling is 18,000m. The maximum range at altitude is 1,500km and 700km near the ground. RD-33 engines for Indian Air Force MiG-29 aircraft are to be license-built in India, under an agreement signed in January 2007.

Performance of the MiG-29 Fulcrum
The MiG-29 can climb at the rate of 330m/s. The maximum and cruise speed of the aircraft are 2,400km/h and 1500km/h, respectively. The ferry range is 2,100km. Its range and service ceiling are 1,430km and 18,000m respectively.

The aircraft weighs around 11,000kg and its maximum take-off weight is 18,000kg.

But i recognize you by that picture only.

Very Philosophical. Any new development string theory?

Awesome!!!!!!!!

LCA MK2 will have by and large same specification. Engine of MG seems too week. it should also have an engine like LCA MK2 to give it a stunning performance.

I'm enthusiastic about it, but so much is going around at university level not getting media attention. I'll try to post good articles on it soon.


Oh thanks man.

.
How Mig29SMT's radar fairs compared to Gripen NG?? what about BVR fight bw them.
