Now there have been rumors that MiG is trying to do it again – building a superfast interceptor. The current name of the project is MiG-41 with speeds projected to be of over Mach 4.0. According to the famous Russian experimental pilot Anatoliy Kvochur, the MiG-41 is to be capable of reaching speeds up to Mach 4.3 (about 5270km/h or 3270mph).
In short, if the Cold War had turned hot during the 1970s, the F-4 Phantom would have probably proven itself to be the better airplane than the MiG-23 Flogger. If anything shows, it is the fact that hundreds of Phantoms still flew in front-line service in the early 21st Century. Even though the F-4 had retired in 1996, it still flew unmanned The Gripen has high performance, but the F-35 can see it easily. The F-35, on the other hand, is much harder for the Gripen to see. Fighter pilots have a saying, "Lose the sight, lose the fight." That means the Gripen, as impressive as it is, would come out second-best in a fight with the F-35. Still, it's better than relying on a MiG or Sukhoi. SluĹľba letounĹŻ MiG-29 u letectva ÄŤeskoslovenskĂ© armády byla krátká, a to z dĹŻvodu rozdÄ›lenĂ republiky na dva samostatnĂ© státy. SouvisejĂcĂ dÄ›lbou majetku se typ následnÄ› ocitl ve vĂ˝zbroji obou nástupnickĂ˝ch armád. ZatĂmco armáda ÄŤeská se devÄ›tadvacĂtek brzy zbavila, tak slovenská postupovala pĹ™esnÄ› naopak. All F-35 variants are powered by a single Pratt & Whitney F135 engine, producing a maximum thrust of 191.3kN. Whereas the FC-31 is a twin-engine aircraft known to use two types of engines, the Russian-made RD-93, which is used in MiG-29 fighters, and the Chinese-made WS series engines, which are similar to the RD-93 in terms of both appearance Originating as the U.S. response to the Soviet Union’s Mach 3 MiG-25 interceptor, the Mach 2.5 F-15 was built around a massive radar and sized to carry large long-range counter-air missiles. Beyond its large size (20 percent larger than the F-35), it was engineered before the advent of computers and digital fly-by-wire systems. Lockheed Martin’s F-35 Joint Strike Fighter—which is built in three versions—recently completed its developmental test phase and is operational with the U.S. Air Force and Marine Corps. "I think the [Polish] MiG cadre will end up atrophying, spending their time in that jet until the MiG-29 phases out," Flynn said. With militaries embracing of the F-35 and other advanced jets, "there is no place for the MiG-29 pilots in the sophisticated world of" fifth-generation aircraft, he added. y8ujfYQ.
