its just weird
Well, the "Russians" flew what they called MiG 28s, and there is no such aircraft. There is a MiG 27 and at the time we knew the Russians had a new fighter coming out so we just assumed it would be a MiG 28. Russia, however, introduced the MiG 29.
Two points for the quote, however, you loose 4 points for not realizing that the plane in question is an F-4 Phantom, not an F-14 Tomcat.
Thanks for playing.
They should have just bought genuine mig21's from 3rd world countries.
Mig29 kinda sucks in sim games.
Clearly, you've never played Jane's Fighter's Anthology. The MIG29 in that game is awesome.Mig29 kinda sucks in sim games.
Yup, that plane is old and cruddy. The F-14 would have easily annihilated them without breaking a sweat.The Fishbed was widely known and an aging aircraft. It wouldn't work with the plot of the film.

Hell, given a decent pilot even an F-4 could take down a MiG21.
They did it many times in Korea (whenever the 21s would stick around to fight, they usually would swoop in and bugger off without a dogfight).
You don't have to insult them just because they used Soviet planes.
