Hi Rapier
Nice to here you again!
The West will have to develop new weapon systems and electronics because they lost the game with aerodinamics.
The MIG29 is the MIG29 but what do you say about the SU35 updated with these western avionics? What match will you find for him? I say no match. (Maybe F22)
The F22 can turn better in some situations.

[Hi Rapier
I must tell you that if MIG29 will have western avionics and fly-by-wire systems (MIG-29M uses fly-by-wire) the F16 will no longer be a match for MIG29.
If you want more explanation let me know.

Hi to all,

I just read in "Air Combat Magazine" that russian MIG-29's are to update their systems with western avionics very similar to the F-16's. Does this mean that F-16's have found their match?

Comments welcome...

Hi Tiger,

I'm glad you are back because I wanted to ask you about this because it is very interesting. I can say 100% that it is absolutely true and the MIG-29M's are going to be updated soon, but I will try to find out which country is going for the update. When I read the article I said exactly the same thing about it being a true match now for the F-16. Do you think that the west will again be designing new and improved systems to again gain the advantage in this area?

Regards
