MIG-35 top speed now 2700km/hr. i will not surprized domestic verision above 3000km/hr.

The observer pointed out that the new plane “has a greater range, a top speed of nearly 2,700 km per hour [300 km more than the base MiG-35], and new engines with a thrust-vectoring module, allowing pilots to perform the most complicated aerobatic maneuvers, as well as modern on-board electronic equipment. The MiG-35S’s radar can track up to 30 air targets from distances 160 km away,” and ship targets up to 300 km away.

I highly doubt anything will come out of this fighter project. EU simply can’t develop military product on 5G scale. and in less than 5 years very different kind of liabilities are coming.

It is not budget thing as far as Ruaf is concerned. They are getting TVC Su-30SM .try implement TVC in western fighter and see what happens to cost. plus the EW Pods that are bigger EA-18G. MIG29M2/MIG-35 designed ground up to be faster, fly higher and 50% further upto 3500km range with 3ET. this the most complex aerodynamic change. radar is very cheap part.

Those aircrafts are not with weak engines and small nose like old F16

If software was able to overcome the benefits of 3 generations of AESAs then they would never have invented AESA

yup Israel is installing those AESA radars on hundreds of F-16 despite among first to put AESA on AWACS. Even French are upgrading M2K with AESA radar. India also following them with AESA upgrades to M2K. did i miss Sweden and its Meteor qualification without AESA radar on Gripen. and it is nothing compared to Ruaf MIG-29SMT with latest radar and IRST.

first understand what is happening in practical world. look all those F-18/F-15/B-1/B-52/A-10 flying around in Middleastern wars.

smaller AESA radars not much effective untill this point whether it is in fighter or AWACS. look at the definition of next generation fighter. MIG always had the correct approach to fighters. I have more confidence in MIG29SMT than anything else in that category.

Tarasenko dismissed the importance of grouping jets into “generations,” and said the MiG-35 was already “stronger, smarter and more versatile” than fourth-generation jets, but not as expensive as fifth-generation aircraft that can evade radar.
“It will be barely noticeable on the radar – due to the reduction of the reflecting surface, the special radio-absorbing coating, and electronic radio-suppressing equipment,” he said

Tarasenko said Russia was already working on new aircraft that would be “smarter, faster” and with increased range and a higher top ceiling range.

That Su-30MKM outperfirmed what ever was offered for F-18E for RMAF in 2002. I am sure the high power ZHUK outperform the single engine fighter AESA.
