The world's fastest propeller-driven plane:

I loooooooove the SU-47 "Berkut"........not operational yet..........but damn....in a close quarters fight this'll eat an F22 for breakfast lunch and dinner

Edit:
Oh and the SO CALLED MIG-28 in TOPGUN is actually an american F-5.
And in a close quarters engagement as filmed, it should have taken out the F-14s without any problems. In RL the problem is getting that close, whilst avoiding the F-14s AIM-54 phoenixs (40+Nm kill range....nasty)

I was considering the Berkut, but I decided no. Pretty sweet plane though!

Dunno about that -- heck of a lot of firepower, but to me the Mi-24 always looked like a frog with some very bad tumors....

"DADDY!!! STALIN STOLE MY BLUEPRINTS!!!"

(Yes, I DO know that no blue-prints were stolen, a B-29 was captured and reverse-engineered. I was JUST MAKING A JOKE!)

One article says the Rusky engineers even copied patches on the B-29 that they knew were patches just so Uncle Joe wouldn't get mad at them for not obeying his order to copy it to the last rivet. One of the problems in the Tupolev TU 4 version was the Ruskies used metric guaged aluminum for their copies, which was thicker, so their planes weighed more and thus had less of a payload. But it could reach Chicago on a oneway suicide nuke trip, so the Pentagon thought at the time.
