File at Slideshare: F 15 vs su-27

Draft copy of the exercise Cope India report says: While the superb performances of IAF Sukhoi-30s were somewhat anticipated, the performance of MiG-21Bison came as a major “unpleasant surprise” to the USAF officials. It also validates the claim of the Russian officials that they are capable of...

Any opinion on cited title ? Here are Spitfire and Phantom graphs...

It wouldn't mind seeing fighter (Me-109/Mustang; F-86/MiG-15; MiG-19/F-100; MiG-23/F-4E; MiG-29/F-16; Su-30/T-50/F-22...) performance comparison based on official graphs. Any opinion on one similar title: Fighter Performance in Practice: F-4 Phantom vs MiG-21

It seems that nobody agrees on these a/c abilities, agencies, air forces...not even Israelis Has anyone else had a look on it at eBay and would offer a comment ? Fighter Performance in Practice: F-4 Phantom vs MIG-21 - eBay (item 290477872650 end time Oct-20-10 05:49:04 PDT) Thanks !!!

Fine comment. I reckon 21 is compared to F-4 because they were competitors in war (F-16 was also '82 in Middle East). F-5E is without hi speed intercept capability (against say Backfire) as it has SEP 0 at Mach 0.5 slower speed than even 21F, not to mention how underpowered F-5A was. But if I...

I wonder is there any recent-fighter's comparison like "Fighter Performance in Practice" book on eBay

MiG-21 is not wonder, it is just useful and it has some surprising abilities that are not exploited.. There is one aphorism: It does not matter how big dog is in the fight, but how big 'fight' is in the dog. Remember Vietnam, Afghanistan.. No hi-tech weapon is good against decisive defender.

Thanks for posts! "Glider.." I think that IAF achievements with MiG-21 is on account of modern AAMs only. "renrich.." Big wing of A-6 speaks for very tight instantaneous turn radius and relatively low induced drag in turns ie it slowly looses speed in turn. But fight can be only downward...
