Su-35 and Su-57. Ultimately both Russia’s Su-35 and America’s F-15X represent state of the art fighters which, alongside China’s J-16 and J-11D, represent the most capable fourth generation heavyweight fighters developed. Although less capable than their more costly and stealthier counterparts the Su-57 and F-22, the two designs are set
Overview Russia’s MiG-35 Fulcrum F is an export version of MiG-29KR and was designed by Mikoyan design bureau in the early 2000s. The MiG-35 is exported without the arrester tail hook of MiG-29KR and requires no further modification. The multi-role fighter aircraft earlier served as MiG-29M2 or MiG-29KR model. The plane has been designed as 4++ generation fighter by Mikoyan. It has been It was intended to take the place of the Mikoyan MiG-29 and MiG-35 and serve as a more cost-effective upgrade to the PAK FA, which later evolved into the Sukhoi Su-57. When Sukhoi debuted its own LTS medium-weight single-engine stealth fifth-generation fighter in 2021, the project had stopped being worked on. As a well-known and somewhat famous Cold War Soviet platform, the MiG-29 was likely designed and built in the 1970s as a counter to the then emerging US Air Force F-15 and F-16. The aircraft, which can hit high-speeds of Mach 2.3 comparable to an F-22, evolved into what could be called a high-speed bomb truck. First emerging in 1983, the MiG-29
As before, in the Air Force of the Russian Federation, the main part of front-line aviation is made up of fighters intended mainly for air combat. These are the MiG-29, Su-27 of the first modifications, as well as the Su-33, in NATO they are opposed mainly by the European Mirage 2000 and Grippen, plus the American F-15C and F-22A.
Have a look at the size of the pilots to realize how big that plane actually is (click enlarge)! As mentioned above among the jet available for tourist jet flights is the MiG-29 Fulcrum – featured in the video below. The outcome of the TFPI was the Sukhoi SU 27, put into service 1987, and that of the LFPI, the MiG 29, taken into service in 1983. After MiG-29 introduction it was given the NATO code name “Fulcrum”, a name that MiG-29 still carries today. At an early design stage it was planned to skip an interim solution and equip new MiG 29 fighter with nUxmZ.
