[Hi Rapier
I must tell you that if MIG29 will have western avionics and fly-by-wire systems (MIG-29M uses fly-by-wire) the F16 will no longer be a match for MIG29.
If you want more explanation let me know.

Hi to all,

I just read in "Air Combat Magazine" that russian MIG-29's are to update their systems with western avionics very similar to the F-16's. Does this mean that F-16's have found their match?

Comments welcome...

Hi Tiger,

I'm glad you are back because I wanted to ask you about this because it is very interesting. I can say 100% that it is absolutely true and the MIG-29M's are going to be updated soon, but I will try to find out which country is going for the update. When I read the article I said exactly the same thing about it being a true match now for the F-16. Do you think that the west will again be designing new and improved systems to again gain the advantage in this area?

Regards
