Agreed there is no stealth on the Mig 29 and it is quite big.

But boy can it change direction, that's interesting about the new missiles, as no matter how manoevrable it is, it may not have any time.

Tks.

Well, the Russian designs appear to have been designed to have a manueverability advantage in a gun fight, and they do have that. The problem is that nobody gets into an aerial gun fight any more, and the capability is pretty much useless.
