These projects were basically completed when they were abandoned,How good were they compared to the allied offerings?

I certainly don't

France will almost certainly pull a WWI Romania then https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armistice_of_Foc%C8%99ani

From my understanding the French Aero industry was largely gutted under Germans occupation,How well did the Germans make use of them? It should be much easier for the Germans to orders some Potez 630 instead of making Hs129 from scratch using French engine

Before the war I was counting on the Argentine airforce to adopt MiG-29/35,But with this war that seem impossible now. Only India is left with their latest MiG-29 contract I guess,Anyone know whether the Russian fulfilled that contract yet?

Are there any fundamental problem with the designs of MiG-29 and SU-27? Why do they tend to underperformed(Newer SU-27 variants have less payload than equivalent F-15 variants etc.),Or is it more about lack of updates(too little composite,Outdated engines tech,Subpar avionics etc.)

Hopefully not F-35 or J-20.

Does it's existence imply that swing wing technology isn't totally incompatible with stealth?

Pretty surprising given the fact that MiG-29M performed seemingly well in Libya and that Su-30 was an export success.

Does their airframe use as much composite as modern fighter such as Rafael/Gripen-E?

How good MiG-29M and Su-35 compared to western design to be exact. 1.Airframe 2.Engine 3.Radar/Avionics

I have often read that fighter like Bf-109,He-100,Dewoitine d.520 etc. Incorporate new technology/features that make them faster/easier to build than something like Macchi c.200,MS406,A6M,Spitfire etc. What does these difference come down to?

In contrast to Germans who totally cast aside He112 and He100 in favor of Bf109,The British decided to adopted both the Hurricane and Spitfire at the same time. Why is that?

I have often read that some German general really like how rugged it is and want to start the production line again if he could,But would this extremely vulnerable plane be able to do any good on the eastern front?

I noticed that during the sino-japanese war Sakai Saburo already have a drop tank in his A5M and also that Hs123 also got an aluminum drop tank,These drop tank would have work wonders in BoB yet the 109 didn't have them. Was cost the primary factor preventing widespread adoption of drop tank on...
