Wow this MAKS is turning out to be a really good one with first the MiG-35 export news and now this weapons reveal. It hasn’t even officially started yet.

I was really hoping they would show off some new weapons for the PAK-FA, not disappointed. I’m guessing the Grom is meant to be a supersonic missile similar to the 3M-54E sketch with a supersonic sprint capacity though made for internal carriage on aircraft.

Interest News. Besides they countries people have already stated I would also like the throw Azerbaijan in their. They’ve sign a number for military contracts
with Russia recently for just about everything besides fighter aircraft.

As for Egypt, it would be weird for MiG to be the processes of assembling what looks to be 3 airframes if they haven’t sign all the paperwork as yet. So i would rule them out.

Though if you go and look past defence contracts that have been signed with Russia and look at the ones that were kept secret only two countries come up, Iraq and Syria. So I’m betting these aircraft are for one of them or they could just be prototypes of the MiG-35 being built for he RuAF for testing.

Some brighter News

Weapons!!! 😉

Took me a while to find this old video.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxxW3TQNQOk

Go to 2:45 which explains the bail-out system in the Mi-28N (it a old video so I’m not sure if it was introduced into the product Mi-28N someone going to have to confirm that). As the video say it only usable above some 300ft. The helicopter being to low in this case. I’m also guessing it not as quick as a ejection process so the helicopter has to be in somewhat stable flight.

Also if you keep watching to 3:20 it explains the hand landing damping system which probably saved the gunners life and the emergency compartment to rescue downed crew.

RIP to the pilot.

Though I’m really surprised the gunner was able to walk out after such an impact.

Is this news accurate? Is India really going to add another Aircraft type to their fleet just so they can be built in house. If true then why buy the 36 Rafale’s is the first place.

‘Make in India’ for 90 medium combat jets’

The MiG-29K is looking good. Still wise they stuck with the light grey that MiG been running on their prototypes. Maybe when/if the Air force order for the MiG-35 goes through.

Looks like the actual munition glides after being deployed by a carrier / carrier rocket.

Ok so it more like a rocketed assisted Small Diameter Bomb then a missile like the brimstone or hellfire.

some more pics of Project “Lavina”

Wow, Love the look of of that ship. What are the chances what we will see it built now that the Mistral deal is dead?
