“Operational radius of action at sea level in mixed mode (Vcr in the 200-km area, V=900 km/h in other areas) with PTB external fuel tanks and 6x FAB -500M-62 bombs – 615 km”

You are always implying that F-111, Su-24 and Tornado are comparable aircrafts. They are not the same. There is a difference between an interdictor and a striker. F-111 and Su-24 were created for WWIII and in real life they were not used to extremes of their capabilities, like 300 km dash at M=1 at 50m in terrafollowing mode. Tornado was a great multirole aircraft, versatile capable and practical, but at the time everybody expected different kind of war.

The only thing that Typhoon have over MiG-35 is a PIRATE. OLS of 35 seems to be too small, i wonder if Flanker’s one can be adopted.

This whole competition was ment to make russians sell their fighters cheaper, but rescent developments let us say, made indians thinking.

Tu-95MS are not antiquated. They are 15 years younger then B-52H. Soviet system of production at its best, instead of upgrading not so old aircraft or ship they simply send it to junkyard and order new ones! Of cource it has to do something with the fact that upgrading is not gonna win you any orders or medals 😉
