The Flawed But Dangerous Soviet Cold War Super Fighter
Not A Pound For Air To Ground
@notapoundAbout
As a kid I wanted to be a fighter pilot. Poor eyesight, risible spatial awareness and an inability to understand even basic instructions knocked that idea on the head. But even as my career went down a different path, I retained an analyst's interest in aviation. In particular I like to try and understand the military-industrial systems in which aircraft were developed and the doctrines and concepts that governed their employment. This channel is a way of getting ideas and research from my head into some kind of organised form. I really hope you enjoy watching them as much as I enjoy making them. But please remember that this is my passion and my hobby. I am not a professional documentary maker and I am at best an amateur historian. Please forgive the inevitable mistakes!
Video Description
The MiG-29 was the most common Soviet 4th Generation fighter. Over 1,200 were produced before 1991 and it thus represented the main threat to NATO air superiority in the 1980s. This video deep dives into the fascinating but flawed Fulcrum and assesses how it would have faired in an all-out war in the 1980s.
