you read what is in the article.

the picture is to blurry for any definetive conclusions
(yes i read the article, the statement still stands)

Looks as though the pic might have been doctored. Could easily be a pic of high altitude flight with a contrail removed.

Altough it looks alot like an F-15: The triangular tailplanes, near-delta wings, twin engine... I would say it's way too easy to edit that pic.

Shouldn't the smoke (if there was any) be coming from an engine!?

well i bet one of uor photoshop experts here can make a much better fake than that

That is an unusual place for the missle hit.
Seems suspicious that there was no picture of the explosion.

Ah sry, $tranger, didn't see the link. Anyway, it might well be a F-15. U.S. military has a habit of overing up bad media.

The Mig 29 is almost a twin of the F-15, if the photo were sharper or in colour it may be possible to make a determination.
It is most likely a Mig 29 as it looks to be carrying some type of underwing fuel tank (?), an F-15 may not have had to fuel or it would have used an aerial tanker.

1) Flying F-15 is ejecting fuel..
2) Some Soviet/Russian EXPORT aircraft, i belive had english "texts", infact former Finnish airforce MIG-21 BIS aircraft had finnish "texts" as they were delivered..

mayb a F-15 launching a missile?

Nah, the smoke you be in front of the A/C by now. I agree with the guy above. Looks like a fuel dump.
