Without an Armenian engineer there would be no Migs.......if anybody deserves a Mig29 its Armenia.

Have you at least the history of Mikoyan? The only intention he has done is to copy the captured German aircraft and the information provided by the American and English. Even the Mig 15 was built with reactor supplied by Rolls-Roce.

In broad terms you are correct.

However people are not born with knowledge, they have to learn from somebody ... a “teacher”.

Here the average and the genius are tested.

The average learns and practices the knowledge he has gained.

The genius surpasses the teacher.

That is how progress is defined and registered.

American and Brits have used as much as Russians used captured German engineering. The whole of aircraft history has been using one another's inventions and ideas in world.
Even Germans did so from French Russian and others. Mig started with rolls roys engine but quickly ended up with Gurevich engine.
If you look into Mikoyan, Antoniv, Ilushin and Tupolev's history non of their genius is dimmed compared to anyone in west. On the contrary.
What was difference was the sistems they worked in. Soviet sistem was rigid, slow and treacherous compared to west's. Antoniv was even sent to Siberia by Stalin.
In 1930's stalin killed top crop of engineers.
But still.
Mikoyan created aircraft that competed and sometimes surpassed western tech. The sweep wing(tilted backwards) and shape changing wing (back and forth according to speed and lift) are his as well as pilot and engine in a line with two side intakes tech(his was in taking from nose and flowing around cabin, later others took intake completely out to the side and rear of cabin).
If you are going to read about Mikoyan, don't read only western sources.
There is a reason why they worshipped him in Soviet Union and he got his own " bieuro" of engineering.
Some in west have even tried to name and mix his brother with his name and dim his image.
But only connections in sistem don't create an aircraft that beats Americans in Korean War with speed and agility.
The only reason that Americans got higher kill ratio was they were using experienced WWII pilots against inexperienced North Korean ones with no experience of dogfights. Not the aircraft.
I have read this in American countless sources.
