no and yes

yes, they're rugged and could fly for weeks and weeks if there was a war.
attrition on both sides would be huge though.
Jordan Carter
sorry, yes and no

Seeing as the Americans get a lot of practice actually flying their planes and can afford to make more than a dozen "high end" planes at a time for a given production model, yes I'd say they have a reasonably high chance of beating Russian planes.
Hudson Moore
They're only good acting as one of many layers in the Russian air defense doctrine.
The Russian fighter pilot cannot get to sleep without his ration of vodka, and his GCI operator singing a lullaby over the radio.

Russian aircraft are basically functional but possess worse avionics, engines, airframes and weapons.
In the event of a war with America it's likely that they would be dispersed, grounded and hidden in hangers or bunkers to preserve them as Russia has neither the money nor industry to replace their aircraft if lost. They would also be hopelessly outnumbered, as Russia possesses a fraction of the aircraft of the United States.

So 10 years ago Russia started trying to upgrade their 44 year old aircraft with technology from 25 years ago.
In that 10 years, they have managed to upgrade 25 aircraft. Not even the Indians are impressed and nobody by Syria was willing to buy any MiG-31
Then this year, they announced it would instead be replaced with the MiG-41, a space-fighter armed with laser cannons.

Not at all. It reaches the maximum practical limits for jets without intake spikes.

> High-altitude speed is temperature-redlined to Mach 2.83 – the thrust-to-drag ratio is sufficient for speeds in excess of Mach 3, but such speeds pose unacceptable hazards to engine and airframe life in routine use.[5]
Liam Flores
Fun fact: 10 years BEFORE the Russians squeezed out the MiG-25 from the diseased sphincter that is Mikoyan-Gurevitch, Lockheed Martin designed Pic related for the same role. It flies faster, it flies higher, it flies further than the MiG-25. It was cancelled because the USAF realised the defensive Air Interceptor role was obsolete and was better served by SAMs.
The Russians not only ploughed on regardless, but "upgraded" them decades into their pointless life.
Russia has been behind since the 50's, and even then the slight edge they had was the absolute dumpster fire that was the century series. As soon as the USAF figured out how to used Phantoms effectively it was over for Russian Aircraft design

What are "(you)s" actually?
I have been here for years but never really understood the meaning of this expression.

Either:
a. Vatniks looking for attention
b. Americans looking to bait Vatniks
c. Russian troll farms throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks w.r.t. making Russia's Air Force not look like the corroded heap of trash that it is
d. Russian troll farms posting and stoking fires to make us hate Russians even more and not care when Putin Tianemans their protests later this month
e. US troll farms posting and stoking fires to make us hate Russians so we'll continue to let them play the great game against them in Syria.

25 mig31s is enought to scare off all USAF bombers
Ayden Robinson
>"stealth killing" radio-photonic radar
This is what vatniks kept saying about GaN but now that the Patriot out of all fucking weapons is getting GaN AESA, they've been weirdly silent about it. My bet is that the lards will field radio-photonic radar too and suddenly we won't hear about them anymore either.

To be fair, Kroutchev had a hardon for rockets and was pressing for a SAM-based air defense system. Both MiG and Sukhoi had developped a bunch of heavy interceptor prototypes, but they weren't developped further until the MiG-25 came along, because it fulfilled both the PVO's long rance interceptor requirement, and the VVS recon requirement, and only then the leadership agreed to fund the project.
The MiG-25 upgrade was triggered by the defection of a pilot to Japan, which is when the West realized that it wasn't a proper fighter and could only fly in a straight line. It sent the authorities in a panick, and they urged engineers to shelve out an upgrade to try and keep an "edge" over what NATO new about.

A huge amount of Russian efforts are internal propaganda, to the point that 60% of Russians believe that the navy of the Russian Federation is the strongest in the world.
The lies they tell their own people go way beyond what they tell anyone else.

substantiate your claims
Matthew Perez
>MiG-29SMT
It looks like an overweight goose.
I wonder if it is as disliked by pilots as the MiG-21SMT was.
At least the avionics in this one should be able to limit the pilot from departing into a flatspin every time he tries to go into a nose down turn at certain fuel loads.

They were designed for a high attrition WW3 and a military culture where new equipment was rapidly prototyped, rolled out, and replaced with new models - longevity be damned.
Plus, the LERX auxiliary intakes to facilitate operation from rough, improvized airfields was a clever idea.
Jacob Wright
One aircraft lost out of thousands of sorties is great.

Are you retarded? Besides, the length of the Russian frontier is impractical to be guarded primarily by SAMs

Sh-shut the fuck up ;~; I love them
Isaac Hall
>Are they the best in the world.
No, they're good functional plons and their short term hardiness makes them good if you need to maintain an airforce without the most modern possible facilities.
>Would American fighters have a chance against them?
Yeah, and it would probably be pretty damn lopsided too since Russia is geared up for border defense wars while the US military has been focusing on power projection for quite some time. On top of that the US has a greater capacity to replace planes lost in exchanges.

So it was a liquid fuel engine test. Amazing how it turns into something else once it reaches western propaganda outlets, isn't it?
And no, Bulava is not liquid fueled. Stay mad.

you have lots of free time when you're a gay russian neet that's living alone becasue he's afraid of his parents
being kicked out of krautchan and every other board helps too
