Royal Navy's 800 Squadron page says "Each RN pilot faced the MiG-29 in
combat and found the Sea Harrier to be a good match for the MiG.
Thanks to the Blue Vixen radar the Sea Harrier won every time in
beyond visual range engagements and also scored some notable successes
when converting to the visual fighting arena."

This doesn't mean a thing. It was a training exercise, and its the rules
the
exercise was run under that make/made the difference. These exercises are
run as set pieces. Typically with no loser's (due to international
relations) with one side doing one thing and the other side is doing
something else.

.... my guess the rules of engagement kept everything subsonic.
