Named the features of the export version of the MiG-35 fighter

115

The new MiG-35 fighter in export version will receive a new cockpit. It will also be equipped with a radar with an active phased array antenna (AFAR). Glider geometry will also be changed.

This was announced by the Director General of the United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) Yuri Slyusar. According to the information RIA News, he told the following:



We are already negotiating with foreign partners about the supply of the fighter.

The head of the UAC noted that the new version of the aircraft aroused interest among potential buyers.

MiG-35 is considered a multi-functional light fighter generation 4 ++, which in its characteristics is approaching the fifth generation. The manufacturer published the detailed technical description of the aircraft in September 2019.

This combat vehicle is based on the MiG-29 fighter, which has proven itself well. Compared with the previous version, it was equipped with engines of greater power. In addition, the fighter received a rod for refueling in the air and special additional equipment for transferring fuel to other aircraft. The combat vehicle has nine suspension points to accommodate up to six tons of ammunition. Arms management system allows you to use any modern aviation bombs and missiles, both existing and promising.

      Glider geometry will also be changed.

      Adjust the electronic filling to the standards of the buyer's country, adjust the characteristics of the weapons, this is understandable.
      But change the glider ?? Expensive and meaningless activity.

        I do not think that the glider will be radically changed, such as a wing with a reverse sweep. At most, they will change the shape of some kind of fairing and add a couple of hatches for ease of maintenance.

By the way, these six moments, which should be built under the concluded contract, may be transferred to the Swifts aerobatic team at the end of the tests.

                    Yes, it’s not the issue. Testing is not a military service as intended. Fighter service takes place in a fighter regiment, and testing is one of the stages in the creation of an aircraft. This is not even trial operation.

      So Moscow Region doesn’t really want to buy it. The only problem is that overseas buyers do not buy much equipment. which is not in service with the house. Therefore, they wanted to buy a regiment for themselves. Then they began to untwist, that this is only the beginning and we will buy as much huge quantity. But more like advertising statements. MO is easier to continue to purchase an inexpensive 30cm heavy fighter than to put into service also the middle moment35, which is certainly cheaper, but not so much. But some quantity will still have to be purchased, otherwise they will not be taken abroad. request

      No, already officially adopted.
      The latest multi-purpose fighters of a new generation appeared at the Russian Space Forces.

      SUKHUM, Jun 17 - Sputnik. Two of the latest MiG-35 fighter jets have been handed over to the Russian Armed Forces.

      Ilya Tarasenko, general director of the Russian aircraft-building corporation MiG, told RIA Novosti that four more fighters will be delivered by the end of the year.

      “Over the past three years, we have made a major breakthrough in the MiG-35 program. In the shortest possible time, we launched the production of this aircraft, conducted its tests, and in 2,5 years we went from development work to a contract with the Ministry of Defense,” he said.

      MiG-35 - the latest multi-purpose fighter generation 4 ++. It is designed to gain air supremacy and strike at ground and surface targets from outside the enemy’s air defense zone.

      And why the hell (Mig-29) in the troops needed? The Mig-29 was made by analogy with the F-16, we wanted to get the same pair as the F-16 and F-15, where the Su-27 is a heavy fighter, and the Mig-29 is a light fighter. Did not work out. Mig-29 was not a light fighter, but not heavy. Why? Because MiG could not in single-engine. The idea of ​​the F-16 was simple - we put 15 pcs on the F-2. F100, on F-16 - 1 pc. Ф100. Due to this, the F-16 was cheaper, easier to operate. And the Mig-29 ... got 2 engines and not unified with the Su-27 engines, and at the price and complexity took up the Su-27. Instead of saving due to deunification, we got waste.

      In fact, the Mig-29 is a story about protectionism, when a respected KB breaks through and pushes through an unnecessary backup machine. So we got two equivalent attack helicopters, three equivalent main tanks, two front-line fighters. True, in the case of the Mig-29, everything turned out to be very bad, the Mig-29 was almost as expensive and complicated as the Su-27, but in most TTX it did not reach the Su-27 very seriously. It was not necessary to have two cars in one niche at the same time ... but we got them. And they simultaneously produced 2 lines of engines like a cherry on a cake.

        Actually, it was not about saving, but about guaranteed superiority over the f-16. These are already people with a warped market economy and their brains; they began to drag economy everywhere. You won’t believe it, but the cheapest thing is not to fly at all and not to build anything, that’s the saving, so the saving!

        Can you give the numbers? Regarding costs, high cost? Well, what would the words be backed up ... And in terms of performance characteristics, where there and to what the MiG seriously missed. And then after all, when the task for modernization was issued, the claims were just to Su. For MiG, the lag in the performance characteristics of the set was less critical.

      MiG has already proven in the 77th. Wow, as proved. When, instead of a light single-engine fighter, in a pair of Su-27 unified with the latter, the lightest twin-engine (with unique engines RD-15) was completely ununified with Sukhoi throughout the whole maximum (according to the f-16 / f-33 scheme). And then they pushed this completely useless machine into production. As a result, the USSR economy received another unnecessary weight, in the combat units missed the machines, because the production of two intersecting niches (MIG-29 was too expensive and heavy for light and too light and weak for a heavy fighter), and completely unique cars (because unlike the F-16, on which are the F100 engine akin to the F100 with the F-15 ... we have engines and everything else was unique) affects the volumes.

      In Stalin's times, how the MIG showed itself with the Mig-29 would be called sabotage. And then it went through. If they showed less like this with helicopters, tanks, planes, ships ... maybe the load on the economy would be less, and the Union might still be standing. But MIG, in fact, "sawed the military budget of the USSR" promoting its flawed brainchild, scoring at the customer's requirements. At the same time, the MIG quite had its own niche at that time in the form of the Mig-25/31 and nothing threatened the existence of the design bureau, but it was necessary to push its aircraft into production in the niche of a front-line fighter. The same funding - an order, vouchers to dispensaries, awards and orders ... As a result, the Union could not stand all these merrymaking.

          It was not by chance that Ustinov entered the USSR into Afghanistan as it turned out to be completely unprepared for warfare in the mountains during a guerrilla warfare (to the extent that the BMP-1’s elevation angle did not allow it to respond to fire from mountain ambushes) and as a result unprepared invasion of Afghanistan was one of the impulses that brought down the USSR? It was not at Ustinov’s arsenal, wasting money and resources that they took three MBTs in succession? Dmitry Fedorovich is a legendary man, especially as the People's Commissar of the WWII, but he also made many mistakes. Moreover, we are talking about late Ustinov - who is already under 80 and who is on the verge of death. The same thing with Marshal Kutakhov - during the epic with the MiG-29 he was also a deep old man and in the 84th died of a stroke.

      Yes, we and the Su-34 and Su-35S are not really needed ... Su-30SM completely covers the whole niche. Especially if you finish it a little.

      The simultaneous production of many modifications of the Su-27 is due to the fact that different plants had different capabilities. So they decided to load them with what they can do, based on capacities and the availability of components. Somewhere they were able to make the Su-35S, but somewhere they pulled only the Su-30M2. The Su-34 is a rather simplified version, unlike the Su-30SM, it has engines without high-voltage gear. As a result, our demilitarization within the same model range is connected with the Soviet legacy, when different factories built different machines and had different cooperation chains. And everyone was given to production what he can here and now without rearmament to produce and what there are components from factories for cooperation (several types of radars are supplied)

      As far back as the mind of the 2000s, it was necessary to master our version of the Su-30MKI (SU-30 SM) at all plants and rivet only it, finishing the 5th generation for the future. Sharpen cooperators for a single type of electronic filling. Now it makes no sense.

          In my opinion, the Mig-35 is not needed. For a light fighter, it is too heavy and expensive. To fighter too fighter. In the same Syria, it is the Su-30SM that works quite well on the ground. With mass release, it will be cheaper than the Mig-35.

          Only now, unification no longer makes sense. Su-30SM is outdated and very outdated, it needs to be modernized - to install new engines (at least the first stage, unified with Su-57), a new radar (with AFAR), but then it will already be a new machine close to Su-35S and is there the point is to expand its production, instead of switching directly to SU-57 - the question.

          IMHO, now we need to put in a series of Su-57 with an engine of the second stage, but while it is not there - it’s cheaper to cost the zoo already. But then again, it makes no sense to expand the zoo - to do what is already in the series until it stands on the wing of the Su-57.

Mig-29 was not a light fighter, but not heavy. Why? Because MiG could not in single-engine. .

    Maybe all the same the military did not want. For a very simple reason, survivability is more than 1,5 times immediately.

    And where is the vector traction? Without it, the Su-35 is worse than Modern Western opponents for the disease of air supremacy. Sushi are not fighters, but interceptors that shine due to vector traction. When the Su-27 and MiG-29 were sold, almost no one bought Sushki, but the MiG-29 was very popular.

    To offer the MiG-35 without OVT is a huge stupidity, which is rejoiced here in the West. Perhaps it can only be explained by the fact that the head of the MiG is one senior director of the Sukhoi OKV and he does not want the MiG-35 to capture part of the Sukhoi monopoly vector traction market.

    Those who believe that over-maneuverability has lost value should ask two questions:
    - Why do F-22s with OBT want to be put into production again? (Will not be)

    Where to sell to Africa, there are no problems, but you need an analogue of a 5th generation light fighter. Moreover, the MiG was hurt. If the Su-57 is conventionally an analogue of F-22, then a mass light analogue of F-35 is also needed. There is no money you can create single-engine, unifying with heavy, not only in the engine, but in most systems.
