While Mig 29 came in, One western think tank had describe it in best way. He told that it is a 4th generation plane with Third generation Electronics. Russina Planes are master pieces of engineering but always lacked on Electronic. Over a period of time they lagged behind in engine and RCS as well. Making a low RCS plane was never on the agenda of Russia till they came out with Su 30. From Su35 onwards, they started focusing on RCS. On the other hand French planes used best electronics. Even Israel is very good in electronics. US is very good in Stealth and Electronics and engine.
