For the love of sweet holy fumes -
What the OP is currently showing is the modernized Mig-29 design to be more "modern" on par against its Western Opponents. (Or just to improved design overall cause better stuff = better kills amiright?)
The early Mig-29's enjoyed its very dangerous agility compared to the F-18 Hornet and F-16 of the Western forces, but however it lacked a large chunk of situational awareness and low fuel relying heavily on guidance by AWACS and GCI. That's why it's a point defense fighter.
Considering now that in DCS - MIG-29 A-G-S were all beyond from achieving any system capable of data-linking.
I mean - yeah I enjoyed having that data-link capability in the current DCS, but it's a no go for DCS Beta. Honestly, I like it that way anyways - never did depend too much on the screen.
EDIT: I still can't quite find the exact variant of the Mig presented in the OP's picture, but it's definitely a modernized version of the Mig-29, because the Mig never had a Refueling Capability until now.
