MiG-35 and MiG-29SMT presentation

[4c Hajduk Veljko]

As I said, I think it's a great aircraft with fantastic potential, but all it's done is fly a few demos so far..I havent seen anything to back up it's uberplane status.

I fully agree with you. All I said was about Russians continuing to improve search sensors that are truly invisible to opponent. And of course they have limitations, everything has limitations …

 

On Russian and USA side we are listening to sales people and they will throw all kinds of outrageous statements. The fact are somewhere in between …

Mig-35 is hardly an Uberplane, an SU-30MKI has no problem to out range, out detect and outgun it badly in every aspect.

Pilotasso, these are two different class airplanes.

Actually, not entirely invisible. At longer ranges you need radar to range, at closer a laser... and it now has laser detectors.

Not range, but search sensors. MiG-35 can get range info from AWACS/MiG-31 or other airborne systems through data link.

 

You are right, eventually MiG-35 will use lasers and radars for ranging as needed.

What IRST does mig-29SMT use and are there any newer suggestions?
