F-15s downed at least six MiG-29s across Desert Storm and Operation Allied Force without a single loss — the Fulcrum’s toughest matchup.

F-15 Eagle

The most-cited air-combat record in the jet age: ~104 credited victories for zero air-to-air losses across all operators. Strict per-operator counts give ~90; generous Israeli 1982 tallies reach 106 — the famous 104 figure originated with the manufacturer.

MiG-29 Fulcrum

Despite heavy combat exposure there is no broadly accepted MiG-29 kill against a fixed-wing manned aircraft — and a long list of losses to F-15s, F-16s and even the Su-27. Its only confirmed shootdowns — two unarmed civilian Cessnas destroyed by a Cuban MiG-29 in 1996 — fall outside the military-aircraft convention and are not counted.
