Everybody says"Russian planes suck.We want americkan planes!!!"And of the guys who love Russian jets,none of them mentioned the Mig 28.Have you seen Top Gun??Well,they were no match for the Tomcats,but if theyr'e at least non-flyable,they would be a tough nut to crack for better pilots.

Hey I don't say "Russian planes suck!!!". In fact I know a lot who don't

And a flyable MiG-28 would be a problem because you can't see much through those evil black helmets!

HEY!I didn't realy mean "Everybody"!I ment "A lot of people"Plus:How come the pilots who wear those"evil black helmets"see through them???

The MiG-28 is in the game.



They just gave it a repaint.

Wow, cool I like the mig-28 (I haven't seen Top Gun yet)



It's a Russian copy of the F-5, those commie bastards

Hmn.


Ever wonder how filmmakers got Russia to cooperate by providing pilots and aircraft for an American movie . . . in 1986, while the Cold War was going on?


Do you think he knows?

Maybe because the MiG-28 was an American F-5, with American pilots?

Don't spoil the fun, damn it.

the Russians have nicked the F-5 and called it the Mig-28, and now it's the most advanced plane on teh earth, until a diabolic mastermind comes.
His name is.......Force, he decides to conquer the world by using sharks and cats with laser beams attatched to their heads.
Onlt one person can stop him, a lonely Finn in his Mig-28, he can save the world in his mig-28, by destroying the secret lair of the evil overlord

BTW, where is flyingRussian?

Ok, then I'll switch roles with FR, and you, brit, can be the brave spy, which tries to stop FR, but I try to bomb his lair, and you keep swearing at me cause it's unfase for you, and then I'll say: I's all a part of the job, and drop a 500 kg bomb on FR's lair. But, you'll get the girl (damn, why can't we fly the Su-34 in lomac, enough place for 2, and a bed...I'm gonna save another girl from a shark with a laserbeam on it's head, and fly her back home, cause FR kidnapped her, the bastard)
Afterwards, I'll bring the su-34 back, but I'll keep the seat, you never know when you'll need to pull the handles...

Ajoj gde nadje MiG-28 ?

>>Top Gun<<...very nice film for kids ;-) Better than teletubies!

- I just don't see why would commies kidnaped US F-5 in that time while they had MiG-29A or at least MiG-23 and those planes was way better than 'MiG-28'

- I think that guys in the Paramount took us for ignorant fools and gave us a story about some mithical Russian MiG-28 fighter that had a problem with fuel in -3g manuvers.

- Don't you dare to insult 'Top Gin' It's the first movie I watceh in the cinema while I was two...I cryed every time F-14 flybyed.

You can't be serious.....There is no such thing as a Mig-28. The plane you are talking about is an F-5 tiger. It was used as the aggressor planes in top gun and painted to look like a russian plane.

How would you expect Paramount to obtain flying real MiGs to play the bad guys?

And Top Gun is not a documentary, it is an action movie.
Some corners can be cut.

- Well i diden't sad that it bothers me, I saw the mouvie for about thirtie times just because it's still rockin'
Thay could wrie a more convinient story...like maybe there was some problem with let's say China and then they could show us a MiG-21...and don't say that they didn't had MiG-21 since the film was patronated by the DOD and I just can't belive that the DOD didn't get one from 1951 to 1986 with so many ways to get them.(from the exilant pilots for example, or from the black market...)

hey.... we all know there wouldn't be any fun in a mig 28... as it is said she has some problems with her inverted flight tanks... won't do a 4 g negative dive...
so just leave it.... i want a berkrut... thats a nice plane or my beloved su 37... ThrustVectored....
that would be AWESOME...



Take what you can... give nothing back!!!

Oh, just about the MiG 28 appearing in Topgun, well breaking news, there's no such thing.

The producers of Topgun and most films that want to use Russian aircraft can't because the Russians don't want the aircraft to be misused or stolen or anything else.

Anyone who want's to use Russian planes for a movie just uses a F-5 Freedom Fighter loaned usually from the American Government. They also get reserve pilot's lent to them as well.

So basically there are no MiG 28's in the world.

-][ToD][- Vampire

MiG doesn't use even numbers at all in it's designations of production model aircraft, so any even-numbered MiG model in a movie is ficticious.

The "MiG-28" in Topgun were just F-5"Agressor" planes used to simulate enemy MiGs and SUs (the Navy uses F-5 and A-4 for aggressor roles)
I Think the "MiG-28" in the movie were just ficticious cause they needed a "new" MiG, A MiG thast was never mentioned before.

Ah yes...the Mig-28...The Russian Jet that uses French Missiles...

You can shoot down every MiG the Soviets employ, but if you return to base and the lead Soviet tank commander is eating breakfast in your snack bar, Jack, you've lost the war
