Better energy, sustained maneuverability ... they could out-rate the F-18.
Not as good High AOA ... the F-18 could out-radius the Mig-29. Helmet
mounted sight with Archer was deadly. Not as good as the F-18 + AMRAAM on
the run-in.


Ah yes. Russian helmet mounted sights an exact copy of one stolen
from South Africa in the late 70s.
