In contrast, none of the Soviet tactical fighters had AAR - MiG-29, Su-27, MiG-23, you name it. The only fast jets in the Soviet era to use AAR were the Su-24 medium bomber and the MiG-31 interceptor. The Soviet air forces did put AAR on strategic bombers, but fighters never got it until the post-Soviet era. Thatnks for this awesome comparison, and good work on the models! It's always struck me as interesting how similar in outline the Mig-29 and SU-33 are. Apart from the canards and the curve of the forward part of the wings, I'd have trouble distinguishing one from the other in flight. But the SU-33 is so huge! Even in its original form, the cost of a basic MiG-29 was 80% that of the Su-27 Flanker. The difference in operating costs between the two fighters was also similar. To the date, the Su-27 is a record-holder of 27 world class flight achievements. The Su-27 is the forefather of a combat aircraft family of various functionality, including the Su-27UB trainer, Su-33 ship-borne fighter, Su-30 twin-seat multirole fighter family, Su-34 tactical bomber and deep modernized fighter Su-35. It has an advantage over the Mig-29 series in that instead of a backup hud it has a top down radar and missile ranging display. There's an option to change the hud to english from russian as well. Until I got my first full fidelity aircraft I flew the Su-33 almost exclusively even when I bought the FC3 pack. El Su-27 es un avión de superioridad aérea y escolta, mientras que el MIG-29 es un interceptor y avión de combate cercano. El MIG-29 volaba con las fuerzas aéreas de defensa, y el Su-27 con las Fuerzas Aéreas, que eran dos fuerzas distintas. El Su-27 era fly by wire, el MIG-29 no. Russia, Ukraine and India operate the majority of all MiG-29s ever made.The MiG-29 reaches a maximum speed of about 1,500 mph, which is above Mach 2. This won’t be the last Russian aircraft that lands on the list of most expensive fighter jets. MiG-29 Cost: $23.8 million. 24. $25.1 million – MiG-21 However, the MiG-29K carries more air-to-ground munitions than the Su-33. The Su-33 is more expensive and physically larger than the MiG-29K, limiting the numbers able to be deployed on an aircraft carrier. The Su-33 carries guided missiles such as the R-73 (four) and R-27E (six) on twelve hard points, supplemented by the 150-round 30 mm GSh-30-1. To sum up, first of all, we can distinguish them from the seats: The Su-27 is a single seat. The Su-30 is a two-seater. The Su-35 is a single seat. The progression from Su 27 to Su 35 is exemplary, and the performance of fighter jets is becoming progressively advanced; Su 27 is a third-generation semi-fighter, Su 30 is a fourth-generation WC0Dy.
