Bоенно-техническое сотрудничество России и Малайзии

[extern]

Что именно было известно?

Кстати, вот одна старая инфа, не 100% надежная, но достойная рассмотрения. По поводу уровня подготовки малайских летчиков и качества поставленных туда МиГов. На совместных учениях малайцы на МиГ-29 порвали австралийцев на F/A-18 в догфайте и на средних дистанциях. Правда австралийцы были со старыми вариантами американских ракет.

The most recent event involving the MiG-29 occurred during the military exercise of nations under the Five Power Defense Arrangement, namely Malaysia, Singapore, New Zealand, Australia and United Kingdom. Malaysian MiG-29s, upgraded with recent Russian and Western technology, fought mock air battles with Australian F/A-18A Hornets. The MiGs succeeded in downing all of the Australian Hornets during simulated air combat battles in both medium and short range combat. The Malaysians used AA-10, AA-12 and AA-11 missiles, against Australia's AIM-9 Sidewinder and AIM-7 Sparrow missiles. It has been reported that Malaysian AA-11 Archer missiles have a better warhead, longer range and a better IR sensor.

Many pundits such as the Federation of American Scientists recognize that in an individual dogfight, the MiG-29 is potentially better than the F-15 Eagle or F-16 Falcon. http://www.answers.com/topic/mikoyan-mig-29
