To me they look the same.

The SU-27 and MIG-29 have, in many respects, a similar configuration (twin vertical tails, twin engines, leading edge root extensions), but are quite different in size (the SU-27 is a significantly bigger aeroplane), range, payload and capabilities.

This is a fake and an old one at that

678 kmh the plane will not be in the photo!!! and i wonder that the radar will have an accurate calibration for this top speed especially on the motorway.

At one airport, the last part of the glide path was over the road and the planes were flying there quite low when landing, but safely of course. Once there was a strong wind and it knocked down a pole with a road speed camera at that place. Airport was closed at that moment but colleagues joked for a long time that one of us go-around at the last moment and the jet of the engine knocked down this pole and the arch with the camera. And then young pilots jokers gave one captain a photo as if "from this camera" for his birthday, which showed his plane and the incredible speed. Of course, it was photoshop, but it was funny, the guys claimed that they bought this photo from the road speed control services.
