No mention of the Mig 29, the latest version has vector thrusting, that allows it damn near come to a complete stop and change direction.
I saw one at an airshow and it is unbelievable, it can fly in a very small area, in comparison to normal planes.
It's not in service yet.
The MiG-29 is a rather large aircraft for a fighter and *still* has no stealth capabilities. The look-down-shoot-down IR capability of the '29 is a bit troubling, but with the US AWACs in an area, US fighters can engage the '29 long, long before it even knows they're around - and long before they get into IR sensor range.
The article is also incorrect - the first that the enemy is going to know that F-35s are around are when the missiles they launch go active and start blowing up their target planes. The current generation of US missiles do not require the host aircraft to leave its radar on to guide them to their target.
