MiG-35: very difficult takeoff

207
At a recent press conference, Sergei Korotkov, General Designer of UAC (United Aircraft Building Corporation), said that at the end of August 2016, flight tests of the MiG-35 fighter will begin. Tests will be conducted until the middle of the 2017 year. Upon completion, it is planned to conclude a contract for the serial supply of aircraft to the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.

MiG-35: very difficult takeoff


News from the category of good. However, as in any complex system (and testing a new aircraft is not a simple matter), there are nuances.

And the most unpleasant thing is that the MiG-35, which will be tested, and the MiG-35, which 14 began to be created years ago in the RAC MiG, is not the same thing.

It sounds ridiculous, but true.

The MiG-35, which will be released on state tests, is an improved and modernized MiG-29М / М2. Outwardly, the difference is difficult to find, the planes are similar. And the main problem is that at the moment all the systems of the 4 ++ generation fighter are not ready. And representatives of the RSK "MiG" recognize this. So one "plus sign" is not yet so.

The question arises: what is the problem, because the work on the MiG-35 takes almost 15 years.

Many experts believe that the behind-the-scenes battle between the Sukhoi Design Bureau and the MIG MiG is the main reason for the delay. Lost the last. And this struggle did not begin yesterday. But in the end, the Sukhoi Design Bureau won a convincing victory in the battle for the budget. And MiG and other competitors got second roles and funding on the leftover principle. That could not affect the speed of new developments.

It is difficult to say whether it is good. Competition is a subtle thing. But back in the Great Patriotic War there was a certain division into light fighters of Yakovlev and heavier Lavochkin. And even the tasks they put at the end of the war were different, based on the performance characteristics. Who does not believe, read Golodnikova.

And then this trend continued. Only in the postwar years, the Lavochkin Design Bureau gradually switched to rocket and space technology, and the Sukhoi Design Bureau, previously engaged mainly in bombers and attack aircraft, transferred to the design and development of fighters.

My personal opinion is that the collapse of the T-4 project, which really represented a serious competition to the development of the Tupolev Design Bureau, was to blame. And it was decided to put everyone in their places.

The Tupolev Design Bureau is engaged in bombers and missile carriers. The Sukhoi Design Bureau with fighter-bombers and heavy fighters. OKB Mikoyan and Gurevich light fighters.

Su-24 / 34 and Su-25 do not fit into the general scheme. But the genius of Pavel Osipovich as a designer also can not be entered anywhere. The fact that Sukhoi was a genius, as it were, is not being discussed. As well as the fact that many of his projects were "hacked" precisely because they were ahead of the understanding of those times.

However, back in our time.

In 2002, the question arose of replacing the outdated MiG-29 with the promising MiG-35. That was quite logical. But for some reason, representatives of the Sukhoi Design Bureau began to express the opinion that it was necessary to replace it with some kind of “more solid” machine. The idea is original, but for some reason the Ministry of Defense agreed with it. As a result, the replacement of light MiGs by heavy Su began.

As a result, by now in our fighter aviation a very strange situation arose, somewhat contrary to the classical principles of the construction of military aircraft.

There is a global concept, according to which, the proportion of light fighters in front-line aviation should be about two-thirds of the total number of aircraft. It is logical, at least based on economic factors. Combat use - a separate article.

As of the year on the 2015, the VKS RF had 318 Su fighters of all modifications (27, 30, 33, 35) and 223 MiG-29. And these are just general numbers, without taking into account the condition of the aircraft.

Of course, the entry of heavy fighters into the troops will in no way reduce our combat readiness. But here again the nuances. And they must be distinguished, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of aircraft.

Remember history with deck MiG-29K? Copies broke a lot then. Flight tests for the decker ended in 2006 year. And they didn’t rush to accept this car for use by Admiral Kuznetsov. Although the Su-33, constituting its wing, has long been asked for a replacement. It came to insanity that such a hefty ship was carrying 8 airplanes on its hikes. It was? It was.

And the MiG-29K was adopted only in the 2013 year. By the way, at that time MiG-29KUB, combat training, double was already ready.

The Russian Navy generally weird policy in this regard. They are not in a hurry to change the Su-33, which are both older than the MiGs, and belong to the fourth generation, but also the Su-25UTG, which are generally the day before yesterday.

Look at the neighbor-partner? Why does India buy MiG-29K and MiG-29CUB for its aircraft carriers ("Vikramaditya", "Viraat" and the "Vikrant" under construction)? Hindus do not understand anything in aviation? Or just save money? Of course, do not save. First place in the world for the import of military equipment is saying something. As well as another contract for the 30 MiG-29K fighters.

But this is a halfback, which not many companies in the world produce. With ordinary planes worse. Recently, the MiG-35, which showed interest in India and Egypt, lost the tender. And to whom? French "Rafal". And the Egyptians and Indians chose to buy from not the most honest sellers is not the cheapest product. But the product, which exists "in fact", and does not hang out God knows how many years in the development stage.

Many experts believe that the MiG-35 is able to compete with the best aircraft, not only in its class, but also among heavier vehicles. However, to prove it now, when it exists in the form of an unfinished project, it is extremely difficult.

MiG-35 was supposed to appear in the troops a year ago. The main reason is the lack of readiness of the Zhuk-A radar with an active phased antenna array. By the way, the radar with AFAR - this is one of the signs of the fifth generation of the aircraft. Zhuk-A from the Fazotron-NIIR concern seems to be expected in the near future, but ...

True, the export version is already ready for production - “Zhuk-AE”. But like everything that we have contains the letter "E" in the labeling, this "Beetle" is simpler and weaker. Instead of the target range for air targets in 35 km planned for the MiG-200, on the export version this indicator is reduced to 150 km. The remaining indicators seem to be the same. In particular, both radars are capable of mapping an area and provide a flight (possibly supersonic) with a rounding of this relief.

So the plane, which tests begin in August, will probably already be equipped with the Zhuk-AE radar. All the rest is already on it.

It is generally accepted (quite rightly, by the way) that the Su-35 is the closest in quality to the fifth generation of fighters. Just because from the 4 ++ to the full 5 generation is one step. The RSK MiG believe that the MiG-35 is able to rise to the same level.

Although of course, this can only be proved by passing state tests. According to representatives of RSK MiG, the most advanced onboard electronic equipment is installed on 35. None of the "four" do not have such a powerful EW system. And pay special attention to excellent flight qualities.

When designing the aircraft, it was possible to increase the internal fuel supply with respect to the MiG-50 by 29%, and also to double the payload. Thus, in terms of armament and range, the aircraft was almost equal to the heavy fighters.

The new engine in the driveless mode does not reach the supersonic speed a bit, which is what the Su-35 does. However, unlike its heavier fellow has an electronic control system. Also, the designers managed to record engine reliability. In many ways, thanks to this, the aircraft's resource exceeds the 6 000 hours.

The weapons control system also uses two optical-location stations with television and thermal imaging channels, a laser range finder and a target designator. Su-35 has only one such station operating in the forward hemisphere. The MiG-35 has the ability to view in the lower hemisphere, which increases the effectiveness of the destruction of ground objects by a fighter.

Yes, and the radar of the Su-35 with a passive grille.

In general, if you still go through the performance characteristics, then the MiG-35 seems to be a very decent fighting vehicle. But, I repeat, in order to confirm them, one must pass the tests. And in the future to overcome all the barriers that prevented 35-th fly all these years.

    A new aircraft, even if it’s not even a super-duper, is certainly better than nothing, and to promote this aircraft for export is also a plus, but efforts must be made to create a new light fighter, since an aircraft of this class is very necessary.

            What is the "global concept"? You compare the size of our country with the countries of Europe. Another would be Israel as an example.
            If the country of planes is like dirt, then you can afford to have several types of fighters, but if the country is huge in area and the planes are not crowded, then they should be with a long flight range and with a large ammunition load.

                a large aircraft will be more universal than small ones; the barrel is really in the economic component. It is simply excessive to drive heavy drying to intercept enemy aircraft, but on drying it is much more convenient to work in Syria and experience confirms this.
                I’m talking about the case when our 34th flew to soak in a toilets of Amer’s bearded dogs, they raised the F-18, ours departed, waited until those poor fellows ran out of fuel and they dumped them, returned and were bombed again. I was just jubilant then!

                  Interceptors are usually heavy as a Su-27 fighter-interceptor, the light MiG-29 is a front-line fighter (not an interceptor). An interceptor must be able to fly a long distance at supersonic to intercept. The supersonic fuel is very consumed, so it should be larger than a fighter.
                  If these "poor fellows" decided to escape from the Su-18/27 on the F-35, then they would have failed, on the F-15, too, because it is smaller than the Su-27 and cannot hold supersonic speed as long as it does ... laughing

                    Now with the level of functional growth, these concepts are increasingly blurred: interceptor, front-line fighter, etc.
                    MiG-29s are great for intercepting aircraft, as go on collision courses and there do not need large radius of action. The task is to fly up as quickly as possible, displace / destroy the enemy and return to base with minimal expenses both in terms of resources and, accordingly, in terms of finances.
                    And the su of the 27 family is great for the front when the front is stretched for many hundreds of kilometers. The su-30MKI is already being adapted for BRAMOS.

                      Why poorly imagine what interception is. They are counter only for a small number of aircraft lol and for the rest they’re already lateral. In war, they look at fuel consumption only in the air. The MiG-29 had the task of gaining dominance in the air only in the near-front strip, while basing it on close field airfields. If a large group makes a breakthrough in this narrow section of the front, then due to the small radius of the flight (especially at supersonic sound), all MiG-29s falling to it will simply not be quantitatively enough to intercept all targets.

                        If we take into account that the radius of the MiG-35 was increased decently, the problem of a limited radius was partially solved.
                        In general, the RD-33 is quite an old engine.

                        I vaguely represent a group superior to all locally based at the breakout site of the 29th. Again, a large group target will be visible on radars in advance. Also consider the presence of air defense.
                        Although if we talk about the practice used in the USSR, then I really do not know.

                        Air defense radars will be much more effective and more powerful in air defense systems than on board an aircraft, unless of course we are talking about the A-50 or Avax.

                        why would he take off from the ground? if this opportunity was available, then it disappeared for a reason. And given that the combat radius has been increased, it is possible to locate aircraft at more distant aerodromes with concrete.

                        A fighter is a projection of force, i.e. can be used both in defense and in attack, which is much more difficult to do with air defense. This is one of, but far from the only reason.

      but efforts must be made to create a new light fighter, since an aircraft of this class is very necessary.

      For this, it is at least necessary that the MiG Design Bureau and the factories producing such aircraft survive. They cannot wait for a new project to appear. It is necessary to give them the opportunity to earn money and "get their hands on" the production of the MiG-35, which is discussed in the article.

        It survived and even modernized, at the moment (in the event of force majeure) RSK can issue 30 fighters per month, orders are needed, and this can only be provided by the state, but the project is constantly hampered. I think that everyone who has read and watched the interview of Sergei Korotkov, everyone remembers his words that the car has long been ready for production. For example, the Su-35 began to enter the unit much earlier than it passed all the tests, and it has not yet passed to the end, since there are no RVV BD missiles. The MiG-35 has everything the same, the machine itself has long been able to enter units. But the project is hindered and slowed down, the military-industrial complex is being bought up by big business, the "dog" is buried right here, the leadership needs to show will, that's all. And the fighter is needed in large quantities, no one will replace it, if you install OVT engines on it, then it will be the strongest fighter in close maneuvering combat, among all generations, and this is also one of the reasons that it is slowed down and is not allowed in every possible way in a complete set of engines with OVT, because in this case it jumps over all our "Crackers" of the fourth and fifth generations (in close combat), and this, at least, will try to prevent this, the people of OASH "Sukhoi" they are on the board of directors of RSK MiG, such are the cases and they have a lobby already in the country's leadership. here the leadership already needs to think, and the participation of our aviation in strikes against the militants eloquently says that they have in vain canceled the niches for aircraft and have relied only on heavy vehicles. Sergei Korotkov said very simply about this: - "Why drive 400-600 km. Heavy fighters that should operate 3-900 km or more. This is unreasonable and destroys the country's budget, since heavy fighters have a very expensive combat mission, this is a niche for light (medium fighters.) Although the combat radius of the MiG-35 is also not small, up to a thousand kilometers, this is a great achievement. Hopefully, the machine will still make its way into the sky.

                  The Su-27 has the same thrust-weight ratio as the MiG-29 due to more powerful engines. An aircraft with the same thrust-weight ratio, which, due to static instability, can even turn its tail forward in place like a tank (which the MiG-29 cannot do) and launch a rocket or fire an enemy from a cannon, can’t lose a fight to it.

                    The only advantage of the MiG-29 was the possibility of basing on field airfields in its early modifications (try to find and knock them all out), which, for a better opportunity to "democratize" the country, if the restructuring goes wrong, the rebuilders simply removed it, citing a gain in a slight increase in range - therefore, the later MiG-29s simply became unnecessary, this was their only and significant advantage over the Su-27 tied to a concrete runway
                    They also turned off the ability to execute cobra (and limited the modes) on the EDSU of combatant Su-27, leaving it only on the aircraft of the Russian Air Force Display Group, and everyone crumbles because "it still doesn't happen like that" ...

                And thanks to what is it achieved?
                In my understanding, this is the aircraft’s ability to maintain stability in transcendent flight modes, where aircraft that do not have this property will simply fall into a tailspin.
                Such aircraft are precisely the Su-35, Su-30cm, MiG-29 OVT.
                I think it is worth for you to decipher the abbreviation "OVT" and explain how this OVT differs from the stock MiG-29.
                Having less weight, all kinds of moments are already reduced, inertia is reduced. This is physics and no matter how you argue against it.

      The diameter of the nose cone on the MiG-35 is slightly smaller than that of the Su-35, so it is impossible to simply rearrange the radar from one aircraft to another. Only individual electronic components of the station and software can be unified. Due to the smaller radome diameter, the MiG-35 radar will have less APM than the N036 "Belka" on the PAK FA or the N035 "Irbis" on the Su-35S.

      Here, as they say, people have a mess in their heads. Each fighter must fulfill the tasks for which it was created. After all, no one in their right mind will call to send the Yak-3 to escort the "Fortresses" from near Poltava. So why are the MiG-35s chopped up for heavy fighters? By definition, a light fighter does not need a super-powerful Irbis or Zaslon-type radar, since it should initially operate in its own information field. By the way, most of the losses of the MiG-29 in Iraq, Yugoslavia, and Eretria are due precisely to the fact that this very information field was absent due to the self-removal of the air defense from the fight in the air. In Eretria, the MiG lost to the Su because the battles took place in the very conditions for which the Su-27 was created. Hence the advantage.

        And what about modern combat at medium to long distances? It is necessary to direct several missiles simultaneously. This is a prerequisite.

        Ground targets are no better; against the backdrop of the earth, it is very difficult to distinguish ground targets. It is also advisable to do mapping to fly at low altitudes.
        There is nothing to do without a good radar. It’s better to leave one engine away from the Su-27, if the AFAR is expensive, but to have a top-level radar !!!

      Russia is not the USSR. At the moment, it is more profitable to have two or three large manufacturers of aircraft with powerful design bureaus, a test and production base. In the United States, for example, only Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and Northrop remained the largest aircraft manufacturers. In Europe, only Dassault firms in France and SAAB in Sweden remained independent, all the rest work only in cooperation. Therefore, I consider the unification of Russian aircraft manufacturers in the UAC a positive step, because with each new generation of aircraft, their development becomes only more complicated and more expensive. Compare the complexity of the Mig-21 / Su-15 with the Mig-35 / PAK FA and everything will become obvious. Now imagine the development of sixth-generation aircraft with hypersonic flight speed, spacewalks, etc. How difficult the task of developing them is to judge the timing of the adoption of the F-22 / F-35 aircraft, although Lockheed and Boeing were involved in the project at the same time.

The supply of digital graphic design tools to military production has been banned by State Department sanctions since Soviet times. The Russian Federation has its own way, and the USSR had it.

            both the USSR and the Russian Federation did not introduce sanctions that prevented the use of US CAD systems, especially in companies that were closed to prying eyes, and even in international organizations - I can say for sure about the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research in Dubna, although only socialist countries were founders, scientists from kapstran constantly appeared to participate in conferences and looked at presentations created on pirated software and on installations developed on pirated CAD

    Why does India buy the MiG-29K and MiG-29KUB for its aircraft carriers (Vikramaditya, Viraat and the Vikrant under construction)?

    Probably because Vikramaditya is designed to operate the Mi-29K, and not any other machine. And they buy MiG-29K on Vikrant so that there is no typical variety sorting. What does Viraat (ongerges) have to do with it, it won’t have the MiG-29K on it, they were going to scrape it off ... The new aircraft carrier that the Indians are planning together with the United States will carry other cars, possibly Superhornets, and possibly F-35s.
    And the MiG-29K was adopted only in 2013. The Russian Navy generally conducts a weird policy in this regard. Not in a hurry to change the Su-33

    It is not familiar to the author that the only obstacle is the adoption of an already ORDERED machine, for which a TTZ has been written out and for the development of which funds have been allocated is the passage of GSI. If the MiG-29K was able to pass the GSI only in 2013, then this is not the trouble of our Navy, but the developer’s problems.
    Recently, the MiG-35, to which India and Egypt showed interest, lost tenders. And to whom? French "Rafal".

    The MiG-35 lost in the Indian competition because the developer "somewhat" exaggerated the characteristics of the vehicle with regards to the combat load, when the Indians discovered this, they received an answer like "and you give us money, we will bring the car to the required parameters", which the Indians prudently not fell for.
    With regards to Egypt, there was no competition at all, the Saudis gave money specifically to Rafali.

    Su-24/34 and Su-25 do not fit into the general scheme a bit.

    Let's look at a neighbor-partner? Why does India buy the MiG-29K and MiG-29KUB for its aircraft carriers (Vikramaditya, Viraat and the Vikrant under construction)?
    Vikramaditya is a relatively small ship. A sufficient number of Su-33 did not fit on it.

    In the 90s, Sukhoi had great export potential, as its only competitor, the F-15, was hardly exported. Used MiG-29s were sold to everyone. KB eked out a miserable existence. The real contract with Algeria failed, the competition for the development of the fifth generation aircraft was lost. The economy must be considered. If the MiG-35 will be significantly cheaper to operate, then it is worth buying. Pull Russia two approximately the same aircraft is meaningless.

    Mig-35 ... back in 2012, wrote that it was necessary to decide with him as quickly as possible so that he would be the first to adopt the F-35 by comparison, and then it was possible. and then many tenders could have ended in a different way, and he wouldn’t have interfered with the videoconferencing system, anyway, such a light-heavy bunch is very convenient.
    Why is it all ... overslept. :( August 1-3 F-35A is declared combat ready- Tonight, the United States Air Force officially confirmed.

    Hmm, I would laugh for a long time if I were told in 2012 that the F-35 would be the first.
    This was the first time I saw Mig-35 a long time ago, it’s bad that during this time not much has changed.

          In the photo, by the way, F-35C, they will soon be written off, even forward F-35B. Two keels with one engine and a speed of just 1,6 Mach is his rudiment from the Soviet Yak.

            Yes, it is definitely running. Yak has more than one engine. In the photo f-35A on the air show in England there is no f-35c and this is not to mention that the wings are different.

              The fact that it is the F-35C in the photo is easily identified ... the F-35B fan also helps a little in creating additional thrust in horizontal flight. "Orders are growing" and then the banquet will be canceled, the only remaining F-35A will be severely curtailed.
              And where do they grow by the way? On the contrary, it has long been declining.

              Two keels F-35A / C is not needed, the F-16 somehow with one engine and even greater speed, the keel is only one.

                Well, yes, a forum expert who does not know the difference between the yak and F-35 lifting systems. Of course you can see how many keels should be. And there is nothing that the F-35 has almost two times the operational angle of attack.

                  from this I read ... the difference is insignificant, you did not write about them - about the fact that two keels on a single-engine aircraft with a low maximum speed is useless, but because of something (the legacy of the Soviet Yak-141), and you of course I immediately changed the topic ... it is necessary to think about it and this is more difficult than even tossing bags, with the documentation donated to the Lockhids and Rolls-Royces in the USA and England by the "perestroika" lol

                  Su-24 or Tu-160 are very heavy and vice versa work on the ground.

                      Brad you, the F-22 was competing with the F-23, which is almost not a Fighter at all, both "Strike". The F-117 is not a Fighter either.
                      Like the F-35C, it's easy to distinguish it from the F-35A in profile, so what does the wing have to do with it? In other matters, you in the first photo in the branch did not even notice the F-22 "not available in England" laughing
                      Built, "invested", that's why it distributes such "student" videos, otherwise it's just a casus belli lol
                      All are refused or orders are reduced, even in the US Air Force the F-35 will be half of what was planned. The only country that has not yet reduced the order is Australia, it is most likely not allowed, because it is a "mining white colony".

                        About yak it’s certainly nice ... but I’m even bored.
                        Please razverzheno ..

                        What can be discussed with a person who claims to be an F-22 drummer?
                        Or at point blank can not understand the difference between the aircraft (even when they poke them.)? m etc.
                        I feel sorry for my time.

                        Repeat again what is the F-35? In the very first photo in the branch ... Did you understand that this wing did not stick out so far back, but something else?

                        About the Yak, not about the F-22. Or are you so sorry for your time that you are full of hutspes can not distinguish the Yak from the F-22? request

                        Maybe it will help you to compare what "sticks out" in someone with the example of the F-22 next to it, or the F35 should have a far wing much longer than the close one.

                        What about the Soviet Yak then fell silent, do you celebrate the order?

                        no, getting away from a complete lack of knowledge of aviation. from F-22 make a drummer. point blank not see the difference F-35C and F-35A- this fool
                        I see everything perfectly and there is not one F-35C with the LF number - the numbers for the air force.
                        And this is not to mention the fact that F-35C flights were not announced at an air show in England.

                        That is, if you, a connoisseur, have the near horizontal plumage on one side of the F-35 looking back and on the far side forward, then with the wings should be the other way around? laughing A deuce to you in geometry ...

                        So you cheated good

    Is it possible that the MiG-35 and Su-35 are comparable in price? We do not know the price parameters proposed by manufacturers for the purchase of MO.
    If the price difference does not exceed 10-15%, then it makes sense to buy more functional heavy class fighters for the army.
    In general, I see no reason to discuss the "quality" of aircraft without having a price before my eyes.
    Well, not for nothing that the Indians chose pragmatically Francs?

    MiG, of course, the company is excellent, but ... I bought a few years ago MiG electric shaver - great design, workmanship according to international standards, but ... the battery is metal hydride. I worked for 2 years and u. There is no place to replace the battery, I tried to pick it up - it burned out. Now I have Philips with lithium-ion, I’m not overjoyed. So it is with airplanes.

    In 1972, Mikoyan’s design bureau lost with a bang the Sukhoi Design Bureau for a promising front-line fighter. But Mikoyan lobbied for the creation of a light fighter in the Politburo of the CPSU Central Committee - it’s cheaper for the same functionality (which is frank delirium).

    The resulting MiG-29 was the focus of all the cheap technical solutions of the Soviet aviation industry, so it was predictably beaten by all opponents in all military conflicts, starting with F-5 and ending with Su-27 (in Ethiopia).

    The MiG-29 glider does not meet the requirements of over-maneuverability, so the current attempts to install new engines on it, radar and avionics (calling it the MiG-35) lead only to the dispersal of funds.

    In the Russian Aerospace Forces, there is already an excellent line of multifunctional and relatively cheap fourth-generation fighters - the heavy Su-35С and the light Yak-130. They need to be improved, the series expanded and exported. In the future, the expensive fifth-generation T-50 will be added to the lineup.

    Mikoyan Design Bureau must be closed, at the base aircraft plant, launch production of the Yak-130.

          About Ethiopia, I myself am in the know. But where else were the Mig-29s predictably beaten, starting with the F-5? As far as I know, during the II-I war, the Iranian Tigers did not shoot a single moment-29 (they generally shot few people)
          , and during the Tempest in a glass and Yugoslavia-1999 they, tigers, were no more

    Of course, it is necessary to write that the F-5 is better than the MiG-29, it must be completely stopped, as well as to bring subsonic fusion vehicles into the main fighters.

      The expert operator is obviously from the team of the former commander in chief Mikhailov, the current director of the UAC directorate. Therefore, he cannot praise the Su-35, it does not have the right ... he has already been paid for this ... :)

    For the Mig-35, it would be nice to make the keels waddle, like the F-35 or F-22. By the way, on the Silent Needle they made to improve stealth in the radar range.

    "My personal opinion is that this was due to the collapse of the T-4 project, which really represented the most serious competition for the development of the Tupolev Design Bureau"
    I re-read on the topic of T-4 a lot. The plane is magnificent and unique. But having studied its design, everyone will easily notice that he has no compartment for bombs. All weapons will inevitably be placed on external suspensions. And this is minus speed. And it is easy to guess that the Tu-160 volley is much more powerful than the T-4. So the duck launched by someone about the insidious Tupolev flies so far.

    In order to speak with confidence about the focus of everything cheap, you need to be a specialist in the aviation industry, including the military. According to your syllable, it does not follow in any way that you understand what you are talking about. And now about Ethiopia. Whatever the car, in the hands of a poorly trained pilot it is scrap. And talking about the car is bad because of its inept use is fundamentally wrong.
