    There are 3 kinds of planes. Fighters, which are good at fighting other planes in a straight fight. Bombers and attack craft, which are good at fighting ground targets as long as there are no planes trying to kill them. And interceptors, which are good at fighting bombers and attack craft but not so good in a straight fight.

    The MiG-29 is an air superiority fighter, which means you ought to either take in a straight fight with another fighter, or go around it and hope it doesn’t bother your attack craft. Instead, this chucklefuck has decided to send a pair of F117s at it, which are stealth attack craft. They are not designed for fighting planes, they’re designed for hiding and killing ground targets. The MiG is gonna kick their asses. And besides, this guy doesn’t even need to bother fighting the MiG, because the MiG sucks at attacking ground targets and that’s all that’s there aside from the F117s. Just leave the MiG alone, it’s not a threat but if you fight it with stealth attackers it’s gonna kick your ass.
