Russian Fighter
which Russian fighter is most overrated the mig 29 or the su27?
Overrated compared to what?
This is the question.
Overrated compared to the global standard? Not at all. Russian technology is still highly regarded and the Russians are selling large amounts of weaponry to the Chinese and Indians.
The Saudis, Israel and other rich nations who are allied to America no longer import so much Russian equipment as they tend to go for superior American technology and have started vast imports of the EuroFighter.
Overrated compared to American fighters? Most definitely, but the Americans are a technological generation ahead of every other nation in terms of military power.
The EU has a stronger economy than the United States and a larger GDP, but the United States still leads the world in virtually every other arena.
Further to this, there is still a lot of infighting in the EU. When the EU do things, they tend to do it very well. But first they spend years arguing about who should do what.
The Americans have a Federal government and don't have this problem, they just cut the cr@p and do it!
In a specific context, the SU27 is more over-rated.
The point however, is that its a similar issue to the M16 vs Kalishnikov.
The M16 is superior but more expensive and requires more maintenace.
What poor countries lack in quality, they try to compensate for with quantity.
Russian technology while reasonably good but not the best, is cheap to manufacture and generally quite reliable.
By far the biggest problem for the imports of Russian technology is the severe lack of people qualified to operate them!!
For example, many of the Africans countries have to buy Russian pilots to fly their planes. And the Russian pilots will generally REFUSE to fly the planes unless a Russian mechanic is responsible for maintenance.
I hope this helps you. Please check the link I have included if you found this interesting.
