Well, at the present time, you can count on them flying something
inferior to the F-15/F-16. Given the economic situation in Russia, it
doesn't look like Sukhoi or MiG is going to be changing that anytime
soon.


So where can I find out how F-15/F-16/F-18 do against MiG-29, Su-31,
Mirage, Eurofighter, Griffon?



Well in the Desert Shield/Storm F-15s kicked the crap out of Iraqi Mig-29s.
Including one kill where a 15C literally maneuvered the -29 into the ground.
