I think the MiG-29A is better than the F-16A/B. It has some BVR capabilities, and R-73 missles when we have dogfight. But when we put AMRAMM on F-16 (I am speaking about either older C/D versions, or A/B ADF, or A/B MLU), Viper will always beat MiG-29A. But newer MiGs (for example MiG-29SMT)...

Both the F-16 and the MiG-29 were designed to correct mistakes and shortcomings of previous aircraft. With the USAF it was the low kill ratios over Vietnam as well as the lack of complete air superiority over the battle field a feat that was achieved with great success both over the...

With new wings and updated avionics, the J-7 got its new lease in life. With radar absorbent paint, helmet targeting and large angle off boresight missiles, a J-7E or J-7MG is still a deadly opponent to any modern fighter. Add new engine developments that promise even greater power, such as the...

The aim of this essay is to explore the relative merits of the two essentially equivalent designs on a “single-system” basis. In doing so we must bear in mind that an aircraft is deployed as part of a wider warfighting system and therefore aircraft/weapons data, although a factor, is...

Information Regarding F-7 BVR Ability Revealed as a new J-7/Mig-21 variant by CAC, F-7MF was a surprise to many people. The "MF" designation suggests it may derive from F-7MG (double delta wing & one-piece windshield) and J-7FS (belly air-intake). However the pointed nose and the rectangular...

About the BVR... PAF will not wait for close combat... IF they don't posses any BVR yet they will force it to close combat... Besides that the BVR is not holy... ECM... ECCM... Flight envelope... It is not the ultimate weapon. Nobody learned from the lessons in NAM... The distance between...

Dear Bro Miroslav I just want to Say that In close-in air combat, F-7MP Even outmanoeuvred the Mirage 2000-5 due to its lighter weight and smaller wings. So you will very well know what happened with Flanker and Vajras

Dear Brother Miroslav Could you please give me a answer that will Inidan through its M2k and SU-30 in Pakistan Territory or Indian M2K and Su-30 just Decided to Defence its motherland?

PAF-IAF fight will not like one F-7 meeting one Su-30MKI. ground based radars will detect MKI at 300 to 400km and bvr capable Mirages will be already at required height to confront them. if they misses them than there is SAM and than F-7 and F-16 for close in dog fight. ( its pretty comfortable...

IAF cannot send both MIG-29 and MIG-21 into PAF airbase for WVR combat but they can fire BVR just about border area. kopyo is limited range radar with smal fov to find targets on in own. it will need GCI or awacs support. same is the case of MIG-29. even M2K needed external tanks to carry...

The Bison will be on rather short legs carrying 2xR-73 and 2xR-77. If it carries extra tanks it will have to sacrifice either it's WVR or the BWR capability. Basically the Bison has an edge at long range due to the R-77 but the F-7PG is more maneuverable with its double delta wing. Also the...

F-7PG has 200km more radius on internal fuel and is close to manevarability of F-16. certainly it can do with Su-30 and M2k in wvr fight due to its small size an high agility while Mirage willl fire BVR at safe distances on them. no opportunity for MIG-29 to entangle that far.

The PAF seems to be planning to use the F-7PG in the point defense role much the same as the Vietnamese used the MiG-21 against the US. during the Indochina war, ie. for ambush/hit-and-run attacks on Indian strikers operating inside Pakistan and the MiG-21Bison with it's limited endurance is...

The IAF doctrine is to maintain offensive over enemy airspace, not to allow the fight to reach India. To implement this doctrine the IAF has a huge component of strike aircraft, much larger than the air defence fleet. As savage-rabbit pointed out the IAF MiG-27s and Jaguars are hoing to face...

Be Serious my Brother Read This The Bison will be on rather short legs carrying 2xR-73 and 2xR-77. If it carries extra tanks it will have to sacrifice either it's WVR or the BWR capability. Basically the Bison has an edge at long range due to the R-77 but the F-7PG is more maneuverable with...

I personlay think that F-7 is little much better than Mig 21 Bison

further improved version of the J-7E, known as J-7G, was first spotted under flight test in 2002. The J-7G is similar to the J-7E in basic aerodynamic layout, but has upgraded avionics. The J-7G is said to be fitted with a new indigenous KLJ-6E pulse-Doppler fire-control radar, which may be a...

Why everybody giving their wish list all the time and trying to compare IAF with PAF. According to you not all the Mig 21 or SU 30 or Mirage 2000-5 or F-16 are not facing each other all the time. For Example in 1965 war India Mig 21 at that time Mig 21 is the Most Superior Aircraft but...
