Did some fighter practice against a MiG-29A. I figured it would be a good opponent as both planes entered service in 1982 although I believe the exact Mirage modification we have is slightly more recent.
The MiG decides to shoot a radar guided missile early. I throw her into a beam and deploy chaff to evade.
The MiG decides to shoot his 2nd straight after that. but as I am still beaming deploying a few chaffs was enough
Time to go on the offensive myself! Let’s see what that MiG is gonna do about this big boy.
Apperently he has similair ideas to my own.
Dropping out afterburner and deploying loads of flares of wich the Mirage carries ever so few was enough to survive that attempt on my life. That MiG however…
…Spends some time tumbling through the skies and explodes just a few km above the surface.
First one down! Let’s try to go for a gun kill next time.
Merged!
Looks like it will be a one circle fight. We both choose an axis we’re both strong on compared to other planes: the vertical. I dive while he climbs.
We end up cutting into each others corner. Head-on pass #2!
I’m afraid that MiG will sometime catch me with his great acceleration. So I decided to keep my speed up. That MiG however, is turning at almost stall speed. He turns into me…
But I use my speed advantage to climb out and leave the MiG behind. Some diving and climbing later we end up facing each other again. Head-on pass #3…
This time I am in the better position! I’m creeping in on his six while he leads us into a defensive spiral turn…
This time he gets away 
a few moments after this shot I’ll have to abort the turn or risk going sub-surface.
Starting to become a cliché now 
Head-on pass #4.
This time I make a fatal mistake. It looked like we where going to have a two circle fight and I’ve had about enough of the head-ons. I decide to reverse my turn but my speed was high. All the while the MiG was trying to corner at stall-speed again. He crept up behind me. Like last time I decide to climb out to use my speed.
But this time the MiG has enough energy to go up behind me and line up a shot. Chunks of mirage are sent flying everywhere 
However it turns I wasn’t quite dead yet! At first I thought my engine was out as I was doing about 80 knots. But everything turned out to be in working order. Meanwhile the MiG appears to recovering from his own stall and is on his way back down. Time to reverse the roles and chase him.
getting some shots in.
Trying to finish it.
At this point the MiG bursts into flames. However this doesn’t seem to hurt the MiG that much. and he’s trying to coast back to the coast on one engine. I’m out of rounds.
Once above land though, the pilot decides he’s had enough of being slow-cooked in there and decides to punch out. I guess he didn’t want to do a morning swim.
Home sweet home.
Thanks for reading!
I hope to do another one some day soon.
