Correction, found this too but I can’t really see the specs:

Thanks for the effort man, appreciated.

Враки это все. Вчера говорил с Погосяном и сегодня с Барковским. Контракта нет и только в этом году попытаются его подписать. Есть некая проблема в виде министра. Первые машины будут не раньше 12 года. остальное кто-то придумал. кстати, сегодня наши журналисты на экскурсии, кроме нас и Петра Бутовского на выставке никого небыло. в блоге есть фоты и короткие отчеты.

From Pilot. Apparently the MiG-29K thing is bull****, first planes wont be seen till 2012 at the earliest, and the contract is not finalized or signed yet. Makes sense, seemed way too fast to be true.

I am curious if we will see AL-31MF1 inserted on the Su-30MKI at some point, perhaps close to 2020 when engine life runs out. It is a relatively straightforward installation and a healthy power boost. The airframe has so much growth potential.

Yeah, well, I know but we’ll have to wait for a pic of PAK-FA
serial unit with its nose open to know about the new one!

Unless you have that somewhere, TR1?

Tay.

:rolleyes:

1064 element Zhuk-AE is already flying. And it has nothing to do with PAK-FA, since it will use a NIIP radar.

Here, as long as we want to count elements and having
posted that pic, catch this :

Anyone can count the number of elements on that baby!

For the laymen : opened nose of a MiG-35 with his Jouk hanging out!

Tay.

Not really relevant, that is the old model.

The 3rd 11356 of the 2nd batch ordered by India will be launched in the middle of March.

I don’t see why it should be better, I see it being close to identical to the Indian Ks. The difference is likely the replacement of several foreign sourced components with domestic equivalents. Nothing major, something similar was done when the Algerian SMTs were taken by the RuAF.
