Мигари в очередной раз натянули "американцев":

"The most recent event involving the MiG-29 occurred during the military exercise of nations under the Five Power Defence 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. Soon after this exercise, the Australian Hornets were fitted with the improved ASRAAM short-range missile, perhaps in response to this demonstration.

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.

Finally, the MiG-29 also saw action during the Kargil War in Kashmir where Indian Air Force MiG-29s provided fighter escort for Mirage 2000s dropping Laser Guided Bombs (LGB) on enemy targets".
