American analysts have criticized the Russian MiG-29 fighter.

Despite the fact that the MiG-1983 fighter developed in 29 is one of the most widespread on the planet - about 1600 planes of this model were created for the whole production period, military analysts from the USA criticized this unique fighter.

The Soviet, and now Russian, MiG-29 fighter is actively exploited all over the world, in particular, this aircraft is in service with the air forces of Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Latin America, etc., however, The National Interest believes that in reality, the aircraft created by Soviet designers, and later modernized by Russian developers, is an unsuccessful project.

Among the main problems of the Russian MiG-29 fighter, American military experts identified a small number of weapons suspension nodes, a small fuel supply, a relatively small combat range, the absence of a fly-by-wire control system, etc. Against this background, analysts stressed that the developed MiG-35, which served as the MiG-29, will turn out to be an unprofitable project.

It should be clarified that the American edition of The National Interest is not the first time criticizing Russian aircraft, in particular, the Russian fighter of the fifth generation of Su-57 was recently criticized.
