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

Except that the F-15 is no longer the best US plane. And analysis of the Soviet planes through inspection by Aviation Week and Space technologies (defector planes) showed that indeed the construction techniques were a bit crude, even though nobody could argue the effectiveness of the designs and implementation. Maybe they're built better these days.
