In the history of Russian air force,mikoyan is always the fore leader in russian military aircraft.From Mig-3 in WWII to the famous Mig 15,Mig 17,Mig 19, Mig 21 to Mig-23 in the cold war.Mikoyan always produce fine fighter/attacker(Mig-27).
While Sukhoi always seem like a supporting role of russian air force,producing also good attacking aircraft like Su-7,Su-17 and Su-24 to boost russian air force attacking cablilites but was never as important as Mikoyan.Their top interceptor Su-15 to challenge Mig-23 had limited capabilites and always end up in the wrong side story with accidentally down a Korea passenger airplane.
But when come to the end of cold war and present,this situation changes rapidly with russian air force top interceptor/fighter/bomber all coming from Sukhoi.From Su-27,Su-30MMk,Su-32 to Su-35 being hail as the finest Russian air force can offer with order from Vietnam,Malaysia,China,India and Indonesia while Mig-29 order had drop dramatically in recent years and remain service with most russian allies for friendship,not base on its merit(supplied to them before the end of cold war)! Even Mikoyan strongest area of intercepting role is robbed by Sukhoi.While Sukhoi strong area of attacking is expanded and has also consolidate the fighter/intercepting area. The only current project Mikoyan can offer is Mig-35 which is sabotaged by the lack of fund while Su-37 also has the same problem but their Su-35 had shown the world even with limited fund their project can still be succeed! What will the future of Mikoyan be? |
