Far as I can tell, it's a children's video that teaches a lesson while making fun of old media.

Love the delivery systems. I'd get the paper again if my paperboy was that creative.

Not for nothing, but that’s a Mig-29 ;)

[Comedylover]

Thanks for the correction... Cool, regardless.

You were right. That’s an F-18, but it’s a Super Hornet.

[A.A. Cunningham]

That artist rendition bears very little resemblance to a Fulcrum.

[SJSAMPLE]

It’s even got the dorsal intakes of the MiG-29, as well as the blended forward surfaces.

Much more representative of the MiG than the F/A-18.

Thanks for posting. This thing looks funny. Will have to look for it.

It has canted vertical tails like the F-18, the intakes are farther apart unlike the MiG, but are the higher speed versions used on the Super Hornet, the blended strakes are the same shape as on the F-18 and the outer leading edge of the wing is the same as what you see on a Super Hornet. Other than that? Yep, just like a MiG-29.

[SJSAMPLE]

The entire fuselage, with the exception of the square intakes, are MiG-29. Damn near perfect match.

The strakes are much more indicative of the MiG-29, as is the leading edge of the wing.

The only F/A-18 similarities are the intakes, canted tail and what looks like a folding wing. The entire cockpit and nose resemble nothing like the F/A-18, which is much longer with significantly longer strakes.

I still say, with great confidence, MiG-29 ;)

Sorry to say, but it strikes me as a children’s tale about the carelessness of the myopic military ( “sorry, these things aren’t real accurate” )

It screams of collateral damage propaganda, implying that we kill civilians because we just don’t care about anything but “the mission”.
