Whatever side we might be on, I believe we should recognise that Russia has always made good aeroplanes, and continues to do so. The MiG-29, and its many derivatives, must be rated amongst the great war planes of the world.
MiG designers deserve respect - especially one who was a member of the great Mikoyan family.
I offer my aeronautical respect to Vano (Ivan) Anastasovich Mikoyan.
