| Re: Got me the Mig 29 and New F-16 - F/A-18 Not an expert on the modern Soviet/Russian aircraft, but MiG-29 in many ways is an antithesis of Su-27.
Given the experiences of Vietnam War, the Soviets deducted properly that the US will design a small agile fighter, MiG-29 was supposed to counter that fighter, while Su-27 was designed to tackle F-14s and F-18s.
MiG-29 should be about the size of F-16 given its design purpose.
