That is a kick-ass burner Tek, nice find. I've never seen it like that even at night.

The last 3 videos are of (ex)german MiGs launching R-60s. The first one is Bulgarian MiG-29UB launching an R-73

That's not a mirror, it's a light shield of the HUD. Apparently it's hould deploy automatically upon external lightening (keeping the HUD readable) but it looks like it drops by negative gravity force to me TBH.

 

I aksed the same maybe an year ago and got this asnwer from Fisben - avionics engineer in the MiG company. Have never seen it elsewhere though..

I stand corrected, I admit I ddidn't watch the video because I was so sure you refer to this video -

Check 2:55, this is what I'm talking about.

 

Groove is right, this is indeed the periscope of the instructor because he has poor front visibility while landing.

Jest to najzwyklejszy w swiecie dwuzwierciadlowy peryskop, ciekawostką jest to, że rolę zwierciadla zewnetrznego pelni wypolerowana na wysoki polysk blacha. W wersji MiG-a jaka posiadaja PSP, możliwe jest otworzenie peryskopu tylko z podwoziem (tzn. jezeli jest podwozie wypuszczone to mozemy wypuścić peryskop), na innych samolotach (Su-22) ma on ograniczenie predkosci (750 km/h ).

 

Polish pilot explain. Meaby someone translate?

Give me "flying telephone pole" (SA-2)!

^ Translation:

It is the most common double mirror periscope in the world. Interesting is that there is no mirror but strongly polished metal plate. In MiG version which has it there is only ability to open it when gears are down. On other birds like Su-22 there is a speed limit for opening (750 km/h).
