You guys had real trouble beating the Mig 15 (a Sovjet 40's jet design) all the way up to the Sabre jet which was introduced halveway in the Korean conflict. And then you made the same mistake again with respect to the Mig-17's and 21's (both 50's design) in Vietnam. They were the reason the board cannon was brought back from the moth balls. An detail that had been left out in the orginal F4 design. And we can go on with the Mig-25 foxbat, Mig-29 fullcrum, Sukhoi-27 (70's and 80's) with the last two jets being able to do manouvres that even the best US plane F15 eagle can't do.


If the Sovjet planes are inferiour (and they are in some aspects) then it is in the area of aviatronics and fuel efficiency. But most certainly NOT in aerodynamics or even construction.

Believing otherwise despite ample documentation against it is being brainwashed. But for some of us here that is a normal condition
