“MIC”: There is any clarity in the signing of the contract between the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation and the Russian Aircraft Corporation “MiG” for the supply of MiG-35s?
– MiG-35s created JSC “RAC” MiG “in the action development work on the tactical and technical requirements issued by the Russian Ministry of Defense. But, as you know, before the end of the development and testing of the plane, its purchase is not possible. I can only say that approximately purchases will be possible from 2016.
So does this mean that MiG is still working on developing the MiG-35 to meet the requirements the RuAF has set out? Does this mean we’ll see a new prototype aircraft? Any one have any ideas in what ways it will be different from from the current prototypes?
“MIC”: You said that you replace the MiG-31 will come a new interceptor aircraft that the Air Force expect to receive in 2020. It will be created on the basis of prospective aviation complex tactical aircraft (PAK FA) or is it a fundamentally different project? What scientific organizations are developing it?
– With the 2013th in aircraft parts will be supplied multi-purpose fighter Su-35s. The complex aircraft weapons and tactical and technical information about aircraft allow it to meet the challenges of intercepting long-range air targets. Modern long-range missiles “air-air” Su-35s will be equipped by 2015.
Subject to the removal from service aircraft such as the MiG-31 in the next decade due to the expiration of the service life of a promising new aviation systems of Su-35S and PAK FA in the required amount will be purchased and will provide the solution of problems of the Air Force air defense.
Along with the enterprises of JSC “United Aircraft Corporation” in the creation of new aviation systems of air interception include enterprises of JSC “Corporation” Tactical Missiles “.
So the new interceptor is something that will be developed later down the line, with the Su-35 and Pak-fa filling in the role temporarily.
