we are still looking for this on europhoon design , only the seize of thier IRST , or thier air intakes (not integrted to cell) alone get indications that europhoon wasn’t designed around RCS reduction!

it doesn’t help aerodynamic agility too, with long arm canard, larger sweep delta angle and without LERX, it take Rafale 40s and 3 turns to blow the europhoon in the air, and also Rafale had to strike nuke deep penetration missions, it tells enough about stealthness..

So Why has this Wunder-aircraft had 0.0 exports so far.

Also your ability to tell performance from eyeballing it is impressive.

Neither are stealth, quit snorting the marketing nonsense.

Ahh, I did not realize that. I assumed they had something similar on offer, to either Mica-IR or R-27T. Definitely an advantage of the Rafale.

Out of curiosity, what is so great about Mica-IR?

I read about that, if you knew what they really sold them… a different S-300 model from what they were looking for, and the thing which entered in their hands was an old part of the radar system (not the “important” even) which was left semi abandoned in “storage” and subject to rust and others.

Talks for Iskander are old. As far as I know, they´ve requested that, T-90, S-400 and whatever else. But that was all on “subsidies”: You Russians give us, we protect you. S-400 not ready surely, the rest, Russians apparently did not acepted.

Good, no free ride for Luka.

Hmm, so the S-300V sale was similar to the Kh-31 one I guess, where the missiles were barely functional lol.

lol no problem pm3, I did not actually have you in mind :p. I would be very happy to see MiG-35 enter service in Belorussia, perfect aircraft for them, maybe the reports for a Russian MOD order of 20-30 units is not fairy tales either. With those two sales MiG-35 would have somewhat secure future and more export possibilities; when we consider MiG-29K orders MiG would seem to be secure financially, though you never can tell- even today they have multi billion dollar backlog, yet have some tiny ten million dollar debt that causes problems?

Белорусские Вооруженные силы намерены закупить российские самолеты типа МиГ-35 или Су-30, заявил председатель Государственного военно-промышленного комитета Белоруссии Сергей Гурулев.

“В планах, насколько я знаю, есть поставка и самолетов типа МиГ-35 или Су-30”, — приводит слова господина Гурудева РИА “Новости”. Он также сообщил, что белорусские военные в соответствии с Программой вооружения планируют закупить российские ракетные комплексы типа “Искандер”.

Well well well. Looks like the experts here were wrong. Belorussia is looking at either MiG-35 or Su-30.

Interesting pod.

Il-476 flight tests will start in 2012. Not exactly the biggest priority program.
