National Interest: Is the MiG-35 the “destroyer” of the F-35 and F-22?

27
In the American edition The National Interest material was released that talks about the Russian fighter generation 4 ++ MiG-35. The author writes that Russia has intensified its work on the MiG-35 in connection with the approaching life of the MiG-29 fighter.





The article itself has a resounding title: “Is the MiG-35 the destroyer of the F-35 or F-22?”

At the same time, the article asks the question:

With all the characteristics of the MiG-35, is it so far from being considered a fifth generation fighter?

The NI article quotes Russian President Vladimir Putin, where he notes that the MiG-35 is a unique multi-role fighter that is very close to the 5 generation of combat aircraft.

Data is also provided from Russian official sources, where it was noted that the MiG-35 is capable of carrying various types of weapons on board, including air-to-air missiles, and the KAB-500 corrected bombs. It is noted that bombs can be induced using laser technology, as well as using satellite and telemetry. The author on the NI pages notes that “because of this, there was confusion after the statements of the leadership of the United Aircraft Corporation that the aircraft has a laser weapons". The American author says that it was precisely about the weapon guidance system.

From the article:

Although the concept of “4 ++ generation” in the absolute sense does not mean much, it is not difficult to understand why Mikoyan’s design bureau insists precisely on this characteristic of the MiG-35. They want to present it as not just an iteration, but a huge technical leap in comparison with the MiG-29, which is successful. It seems reasonable to draw such a stark distinction between fighters separated by more than forty years. However, this story of a significant improvement is somewhat complicated by the many versions of the MiG-29 released in previous decades. For example, many elements of the MiG-35 can be traced to various versions of the MiG-29, including the MiG-29K.

At the same time, the author calls the MiG-35 "a very combat-ready Russian aircraft, which shows the dynamics of the development of the aerospace industry in Russia."

But it should be noted that the author of the material - Mark Episkopos - does not directly and unequivocally answer his own question about the MiG-35 as "the destroyer of the F-35 and F-22." Apparently, the final phrase that the aircraft is very combat-ready, according to Episkopos, will itself give an answer to this question.

          And the rule of good taste says that before writing the first comment, you need to at least read the material to the end, well, to at least have an idea of ​​how copy paste differs from the presentation of information from a foreign source. They say that in this case even a link can be found ...

      Yes, we in Russia do not really know what Mig-35 is.
      His performance characteristics have been given almost since the time of the Indian tender, and stupidly with the MiG-29K, SMT, etc.

        They are ironic in vain over our 2-seater aircraft ... Given that in the first echelon UAVs can go as scouts, providing target designation for simple aircraft in real time, the MIG-35 can act as such an aircraft with missiles, while also providing additional control channel for UAVs ...

        Not entirely correct. Whoever "sees" whom first has a tactical advantage, you can even run away in time.

          Running away is unlikely. Sharp turns and course changes will dramatically increase visibility and goodbye advantage. Unless it's really really long distances

      "Is the MiG-35 the destroyer of the F-35 or F-22?"

      Loudly, and then ... conclusions, conjectures and all kinds of statements.
      Nothing, because as the only objective judge, this is practice.

      the Germans became the destroyer of the f-35, as a project, they made a radar that in passive mode in real conditions was able to track the f-35 from the ground from a distance of 150 km, regardless of the operation of the Luneberg lens. This is a sentence for the entire project.
      without stealth, the f-35 turns into an expensive, highly visible target.
      the prediction of our scientists came true that stelstechnology is ineffective.

      Now every writer in military sites / magazines is an expert !!!, both NI and VO. The days when articles were written by real experts, and not by well-read advertising booklets and articles of each other's "experts" are over. More often readers, they are commentators, are closer to a professional assessment than "writers". Those who believe that digital is everything, and the nuances of exploitation are nothing more than nuances. And the fact that all combat exploitation is the knowledge and use of nuances is nonsense and trifle for the "writers" that does not deserve attention.
