Description
The Mikoyan MiG-35 (Микоян МиГ-35 in Russian and "Fulcrum-F" in NATO) is a maturing technology and the MiG-29M/M2 MiG-29K/KUB. Classified as a fighter generation 4.5, the MiG-35 is now considered a medium-weight aircraft because its maximum takeoff weight has increased 30 percent. Totally upgraded avionics and new weapons systems and sensors (click the photo above), including a new AESA radar and Optical Locator System (OLS), eases the dependency on aircraft control intercept ground-based (GCI), and let you make multiple missions. The aircraft is being marketed under the designation MiG-35 (single seat) and MiG-35D (two seat) for export. His first international presentation occurred during the Aero India 2007.
