The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

The type is already close to 60 years in existence. It still has good combat radius and can carry alot of ordnace, if the F-15E cannot be afforded that is. :)

I saw this B-52 video on Gizmodo this morning, it nice, best thing is there's no european nightclub music in the background just engine noise.

4:51 is probably what MiG-29S interface should look like.

Possibly, but I doubt it GG - the sequence with the display symbology at 4:51 is overlayed with an SMT fitted with Zhuk-M radar.

 

The Zhuk-M and associated MIL-1553 standard WCS interface is more recent than the SUV-29S(MiG-29S).

Not as far as I know - the Malaysian MiG-29s originally delivered were a special version of the standard 9-12 with the addition of a retractable refuelling probe(SMT type) and the radar of the MiG-29S(N019M), but without the jammer.

 

The Indian MiG-29s were standard 9-12s that they IIRC made some upgrades to themselves - I have seen a photo of an Indian MiG-29 with the radome removed and the radar was clearly an N019.

 

However, there is a very recent(2011) upgrade programme being carried out for the Indian airforce MiG-29 fleet, which does indeed include the Zhuk-M radar among other things - the version is dubbed "MiG-29UPG" and is really an SMT upgrade.

Over the next year, America’s largest fighting force is swapping its camouflage pattern. The move is a quiet admission that the last uniform — a pixelated design that debuted in 2004 at a cost of $5 billion — was a colossal mistake.

 

Soldiers have roundly criticized the gray-green uniform for standing out almost everywhere it’s been worn. Industry insiders have called the financial mess surrounding the pattern a “fiasco.”
