1. no idea how you got so many soviet losses. Fishbed was used sparingly in Vietnam. for mig 23 you’re combining the mig 27 which is a bomber. It’s like counting the A7 as a crusader. 2. obviously ukraine war changes the numbers a lot. 3. the air force overclaimed in the gulf war. F 18 Intercept Mig 29, Real DogfightUS F/A-18s took the chance to do a joint training with the German MiG-29s after the German reunification. The German Luft The Mikoyan MiG-27, NATO reporting name "Flogger", is an attack variant of the MiG-23. It did not recieve widespread use outside of Russia. At the end of the 1960s, the Soviet Union started development of a fighter aircraft, able to strike at ground targets and to perform massive hits against enemy targets. Other criteria was to be as invulnerable as possible against jammer systems and to be However, the Vietnamese records have at least one of these B-52s shot down by a North Vietnamese MiG-21 pilot.

MiG-21 The MiG-35’s horizontal tails are broader than those of the MiG-29, which are slimmer in comparison. The Mig-27 boasts a maximum speed of Mach 1.7 and a service ceiling of 40,000 feet I'm talking about the Kosovo War where 6 MiG-29s were shot down, 3 by USAF F-15s, 1 by USAF F-16, 1 by a Dutch F-16 and 1 by what is claimed to be friendly fire from the ground. Not so much a counter, more it was developed to counter but completely wiped the floor because the MiG-25 was a bad design for a niche role overhyped by Russian brass. None. Operation Samurra was an operation by the Iraqi Air Force (IQAF) during the Gulf War to decisively engage McDonnell Douglas F-15C Eagle fighters from the United States Air Force (USAF) using Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-25 interceptors, and break the "wall" of F-15s that the Coalition had established along Iraq's border with Iran. Yes it would. I will keep saying this. The F-14 would have no equal until the MiG-29 or Su-27 are introduced. It's a bonafide 4th gen fighter and the performance gap between even late 3rd gen and 4th aircraft is a gulf. It’s hard to say honestly. The viggen is a late example of a gen 3 fighter, same with the floggers. kUuQK.
