  • @johan404 Alot people don't know the hornet is our most agile fighter especially at low speed encounters. When the Indian airforce used their mig-29s in mock dogfights they lost because the hornet out maneuvered the mig 29s. The Canadians won the world topgun competition using the hornet. I love the mig though.

  • @lambovinnie Mig-29 is much more maneuverable and better at visual range air combat than the F/A-18, while the F/A-18 has better avionics and is better at beyond visual range combat, although most air combat takes place in visual range. Really the F/A-18 is not that good at anything, but it's not entirely bad at everything either.

  • @ethanwebs It is difficult to compare Mig-29 and F\A-18. They have different classes, sizes and roles. F\A-18, as it seen on its literals (F\A) can be in assaulter role, so offcourse F\A-18 have more payload. Mig-29 is classic fighter plane. Russians always used specialized planes, and the US prefered multi-role planes. Just different tactics.

  • mig29 good for airshows but not dog fighting. hornet is the best slow speed dog fighter in the world.

  • usaf f-18 vs RMAF MiG29N

  • @koirazie ok... cool!

  • @MrDelusionalClown channel not available troll... as usual

  • this wasn't a serious dogfight, cameras were in both planes, were they training?

  • @MrDelusionalClown f-22, eurofighter typhoon, su-47... any of these ringing a bell?

    Mig29 was an excellent aircraft for the time, but its not the best in the world by any measure.

    As an aside, f-18 can carry almost twice the weight in ordnance and has two more hardpoints than mig-29, giving the hornet an advantage in the range of missions it can achieve.

    guess ur screen name is pretty accurate ;)
