This older brother to Sukhoi 27, the Mig 29 proven that they are worth their opponents. After the end of Cold War, and NATO expansion towards former eastern bloc country memberships, there were numerous exercises and simulated dogfights against F18, 16 and others, where 29s had been able to keep up, and in some instances/ situations outperform and dominate over the western flank type of jet fighters. Though thirsty birds, with shorter engine life span, Mig 29 turnover times on ground for refuel/rearmament were shorter 20-40% if not mistaken, with less personnel. Also these were of the first soviet fighter jets with greatly improved helmet mounted sights allowing the pilots to track the enemy plane on wider angles sidewise, having higher chance to splash one with their aa missiles. Also it was the type which was able to perform cobra maneuvre, later adopted and exploited by Su27 and later models with 2D/3D thrust vectoring. So definitely member of the club in my opinion, perhaps just a bit less famous, as Sukhoi dominates over the skies these days.
