MiG-29B, MiG-29UB and MiG-29SE compared

How do different Mikoyan MiG-29 Fulcrum versions perform? We wanted to have a closer look and compared the MiG-29B, the MiG-29UB and finally the MiG-29SE.

Video I: MiG-29UB doing an Edge of Space flight:

  • The MiG-29UB (Product 9.12) is the two seater trainer version, and the version we offer Edge of Space Flights for Tourists in. NATO reporting code is Fulcrum-B.
  • MiG-29SE (9.51) is operated for example by the Bangladesh and Peruvian Air Force – probably also by North Korea. The MiG-29SE is the export model of MiG-29S (Product 9.13), with a downgraded N-019ME radar.

And here is how the performance comparison looks like (click enlarge):
