When will the serial deliveries of the MiG-35 to the troops begin

The head of the United Aircraft Corporation told the media about the progress of work on the creation of a multi-purpose light fighter MiG-35. This fighter, which according to the modern classification refers to the most close to the fifth generation - the generation of "4 ++."

According to the head of the KLA, Yuri Slusarius, state tests are carried out under the MiG-35 program. He noted that in 2019, it is planned to begin mass production with the supply of aircraft to the troops.

Here it should be noted that earlier it was planned to begin serial deliveries by the end of the current year, but, apparently, the deadlines are somewhat shifted.

For your information:

The MiG-35 fighter made its first flight in the 2016 year. At the moment, according to official information, two prototypes of the MiG-35 aircraft have been produced.

If we talk about the characteristics of a promising light fighter, then they are:
maximum take-off weight - 29,7 t (normal - 17,5 t), maximum speed - about 2600 thousand km (2,1-2,2 M), practical ceiling - 17,5 km, flight range without refueling with PTB - 3,5 thousand km, radius of action with normal combat load - about 1000 km. It has 9 armament suspension units. The aircraft is equipped with two turbojet dual-engine engines with an afterburner () 2 × 9000 kgf).

It was always difficult to meet the deadlines in Russia, so you shouldn’t make any guesses.

When developing the MiG-35, it was planned to focus on foreign markets. At least in terms of export Mig-29. While a complete bummer. And in the Russian VKS, he is needed very "relatively." So the internal contract is for "maintaining pants." That the KB would not bend

[bald]

Alexey, most likely it is. Roughly speaking, to finish what he is not capable of for us. Actually he is ready, but there are more prospects.

For example, what?
Yes, the plane arrived late. Yes, the MiG design bureau must be supported, otherwise the monopolist in the form of Sukhoi will remain. And yes, the plane is more export oriented. But at the moment, I do not see a more promising platform.

As a normal story, but not for general publication, they completely lost their scent. This is the portal of VO, well, not how it is done and done.

Te is a stuffing about nothing. And yes, this is a VO portal, here it is necessary to answer for words and theses.

[bald]

Everything has its time, and for obvious reasons no one should reveal all the cards at once, no matter how much we would like (out of curiosity).

[Kurare]

Curiosity is our everything!

So this was where we had to start. Of course, it is clear that there are things that you can talk about, but "everything has its time."

Not always. In China, weapons are being developed separately, for the PLA and a separate line for export. Yes, and Russian examples of the BMPTT Terminator went for export before being accepted into the RF Armed Forces

[Berber]

And this is the main reason for adopting these aircraft in Russia.

Without the MiG-35 being adopted by the Russian Air Force, no one will buy it abroad. This is an axiom.

But how was the MiG-35 able to participate in several foreign tenders. Or you are a "great specialist." than the employees of MiG and Rosoboronexport

[RL]

In 2011, the MiG-35 was already standing at MAKS 2011. He touched it himself. Even then, representatives of some Russian state organizations associated with the aviation industry and with whom I had to talk, said that Russia did not need this car.

And where did you get the idea that our MOs do not need a more modern "light" fighter? Or do we have a more advanced "light" fighter?
SU 30, 35, 57 are good, but they are more expensive and heavy cars.
So far we can only talk about export prices, but the MIG-35 was offered to India for 45 mil. dollars, while the SU-35 China for 83! Yes, the SU-35 is better in almost all respects, but is it necessary for all tasks to use the SU?
The MIG-29 fleet is rapidly aging, they need to be replaced with something, and the military budget is not rubber, so there is work in the Russian MIG-35 VKS.

[Zaurbek]

There will be no external market without an internal one ... and you cannot sell an airplane without AFAR and work on the ground. I am still silent about the RD-33 engines. AL-31 during the same time went through a great evolution to the extreme versions of the AL-41 with more traction, OBT and a resource that caught up with Western turbojet engines.

[Bar1]

waiting for the money to appear?

[Andrey Yuryevich]

When will the serial deliveries of the MiG-35 to the troops begin

what's up with afar?

[donavi49]

Zhuk-M - the first contract. The new radar is the second 22 + contract.
On the At the first stage, the production MiG-35 will be equipped with Zhuk-M type radars, which are now being put on MiG-29СМТ fighters. The transition of fighters to radar with AFAR will be possible after creating an experimental batch of radars and conducting flight tests. Only after that the Ministry of Defense will be able to decide on equipping the combat aircraft with a new development.

[voyaka uh]

"The transition of fighters to radar from AFAR will be possible after the creation of an experimental batch of radars and flight tests." /////

That is, AFAF for the Su-57 is also not there? If there was, why not put it on the MiG-35?

It does not fit because.

[Zaurbek]

There are AFAR radars and their manufacturers are different ... although I do not understand why. The PP modules can be the same for the MiG-35 and Sukhoi, but their number is different.

[Romario_Argo]

Sokol aircraft plant is ready for mass production of Mig-35 in the amount of 36 fighters per year, this is without export 12-24 fighters. total production capacity of 50 aircraft per year.

[Maz]

Do you really need him?

[Grandfather]

why not? work on a variety of goals, interfere with radars, "work" with the terrain ...

No, of course, these are all fairy tales ... but China, the USA, Europe and Israel simply do not save money and go to a standstill.

Something I doubt that the first five-year plan was carried out for more than five years. And the second one too. On the Crimean bridge, the term was also closed. This is after 1992 in Russia, everything is complicated both with terms and with crayfish, which annually (since 1997) meet in forums, and things are still in place ...

[NEXUS]

This is a fighter, which according to modern classification refers to the closest to the fifth generation - the generation of "4 ++".

If the terms continue to move, then in this way they will push the fighter itself deeply and for a long time.

[Mountain shooter]

We will see. It’s not long to wait. Already "harnessed" .... And the plane you need. Not all tasks need to be solved by heavy fighters. Elementary - sorry for kerosene

The second side of the issue is the cost of fighters of one generation is directly proportional to their dry weight.

[NEXUS]

Quote: Mountain Shooter

It was needed 10 years ago ... at the same time, while it has export potential ... and what will happen in 5 years, at such a rate of adoption?

[ANCIENT]

Now liberals like Kudrinasiluanov will simply "bury" this project, and the answer to the question will be - never! !!

[bouncyhunter]

Vitalich Do not fuck up, otherwise they will perceive your koment as a call to action.

For Russia with its territory, you need a lot of planes, you need a mass fighter like MiG-21 or 23 at one time, and giving birth to several planes a year is not serious. It feels like Russia will have a few MiG-35s, and China and India several hundred

[ALEXXX1983]

Quote: Yak28

It seems that Russia will have a few pieces of Migov-35

I agree.

Quote: Yak28

and China and India have several hundred

But this is very unlikely. China will not buy it for sure - it has its own planes (except maybe a couple of pieces for study and copying), and India is unlikely to be, it does not suit them.

[Herman 4223]

It would be time for the younger brother of the su-57 to be born. The MiG-35 was needed yesterday, today we need to take a new step and as quickly as possible. The factory’s pants are certainly good to maintain, but if you don’t make a new car the factory will now be left without pants later, they won’t buy much such a machine as the Mig-35, the world passes to the fifth generation, and after 5-7 years, interest in it will disappear altogether, and we won’t need it either, what will happen to the factory if it is replaced only by paper?

[Lex.]

It's time for the younger brother of the su-57, will be born. Mig-35
Something France and Sweden are in no hurry with this yet, and what price will be 15 years fine-tuning with your economy

[Ross xnumx]

Films were shown about F-16 (for those in uniform) back in 1979, and they are still in service ... Our "strategists" are also from developments of the times of the USSR ... Military equipment is not created for a single day, and throwing yourself into a race headlong is also not a reason ...

To hell with him, not AFAR))))) "BEETLE B" at maximum speed

[tomket]

For some reason, this has been going on with production for several years. Either everything is occupied under the Egyptian contract, or against the backdrop of rising oil and rising gasoline, the authorities have no money for it.

[Lex.]

as the buyer wants, for example Egypt with afar

[Snakebyte]

Some kind of atypical picture for the Russian Federation. Typically, a series is allowed before the start of state trials.
Apparently the MiG does not have a sufficient lobby at the top.

[YELLOWSTONE]

with the F-35 in the United States is not confused?

[Snakebyte]

The ignoramuses should look at the completion dates of state tests of the Su-27/30/33/34/35, Mi-28N and further down the list, and compare them with the dates of the start of mass production.
However, as it turned out, some particularly prominent ignoramuses cannot compare more or less.

[YELLOWSTONE]

too many letters
F-35 is the first and only

[Snakebyte]

And, for sure, you don’t know how to read.

[YELLOWSTONE]

no, you don’t want about him

[steelmaker]

In vain you. MIG-35 is an excellent aircraft. Its price in 2015 was $ 45 million against 84 million F-35. And the fact that our rulers have money is our fault!

[izja]

Why not take Migu to this still-born model and not spend all his money and efforts on the Mig-31 Modernization and its further development, Sukhoi took all the beggars in the market, Migu in the Russian Aerospace Forces is getting closer, he is inferior in all respects to his comrades from Su, what is the point of keeping 2 planes with the same tasks (unification is always cheaper) when the modernized su 27, su 30, 34, 35 and so perfectly fulfill their tasks and go for export like hot cakes, and soon the su-57 will appear. But Mig-41 if they give birth to him quickly, it would be very helpful.

[Zaurbek]

The Russian Federation needs combat aircraft, and the MiG plant costs and produces nothing .... and there are foreign markets for which the Su-35S is surplus.

[NF68]

maximum speed - about 2600 thousand km

Cool, he flies.

[Samovar]

And who can tell why we have two engines, and in an instant and Su? Where does such a love for such a layout come from? Is it more complicated and expensive ... or is everything so bad with reliability that everything needs to be duplicated?

[Ross xnumx]

Maneuverability increases and allows you to do things that the American fifth generation is not able to do ...

[EvilLion]

This music can last forever. And then the Indians will come and they will buy 200 units without a tender, because it was necessary to replace the MiG-21 yesterday.
