MIG 35 NEXT GEN

RUSSIAN FIGHTER

INTRODUCTION
THE MIKOYAN MIG-35 IS A FURTHER DEVELOPMENT OF THE MIG-29M/M2 AND MIG29K/KUB TECHNOLOGY.
IT IS CLASSIFIED AS A 4++ GENERATION JET FIGHTER BY MIKOYAN.

THE FIRST PROTOTYPE WAS A MODIFICATION OF THE AIRCRAFT THAT PREVIOUSLY

SERVED AS MIG-29M2 MODEL DEMONSTRATOR.

10 PROTOTYPES HAVE BEEN BUILT SO FAR AND ARE CURRENTLY SUBJECT TO EXTENSIVE
FIELD TRIALS.

MIG CORPORATION FIRST OFFICIALLY PRESENTED THE MIG-35 INTERNATIONALLY DURING

THE AERO INDIA 2007 AIR SHOW.
THE MIG-35 WAS OFFICIALLY UNVEILED WHEN THE RUSSIAN MINISTER OF DEFENCE,
SERGEY IVANOV, VISITED LUKHOVITSKY MACHINE BUILDING PLANT "MAPO-MIG".
THE SINGLE SEAT VERSION IS DESIGNATED MIG-35 AND THE TWO-SEAT VERSION IS MIG35D

DESIGN

THE MOST IMPORTANT CHANGES ARE THE PHAZOTRON ZHUK-AE ACTIVE

ELECTRONICALLY SCANNED ARRAY (AESA) RADAR, THE RD-33MK ENGINES AND THE
NEWLY DESIGNED OPTICAL LOCATOR SYSTEM, OLS-35.
THE FINAL CONFIGURATION OF THE MIG-35'S ONBOARD EQUIPMENT HAS BEEN LEFT
OPEN INTENTIONALLY USING THE MIL-STD-1553 BUS.
THE MAIN ADVANTAGE OF AN OPEN ARCHITECTURE CONFIGURATION FOR ITS
AVIONICS IS THAT FUTURE CUSTOMERS WILL HAVE OPTIONS TO CHOOSE FROM
COMPONENTS AND SYSTEMS MADE BY RUSSIAN, UNITED STATES, FRENCH AND
ISRAELI SOURCES.
THE RAMENSKOYE DESIGN COMPANY WILL ACT AS SYSTEMS INTEGRATOR

ENGINE
THE RD-33MK "MORSKAYA OSA" WAS INSTALLED BY THE NEW
MODIFICATION.
IT IS THE LATEST VERSION OF THE RD-33 AND WAS INTENDED TO
POWER THE MIG-29K AND MIG-29KUBRD-33OVT ENGINE VARIANT COMES
WITH THRUST VECTORING NOZZLES, AND CAN DIRECT THRUST IN TWO
DIRECTIONS OR PLANES.
AS OF 2012, THE ONLY IN-SERVICE, IN-PRODUCTION FIGHTER JET USING
THIS TECHNOLOGY IS SU-35.
OTHER CURRENT THRUST-VECTORING AIRCRAFT, SUCH AS THE SU-30MKI
AND THE F-22, HAVE NOZZLES THAT EACH VECTOR IN ONE PLANE.
. IT HAS 7% MORE POWER COMPARED TO THE BASELINE MODEL DUE TO
THE USE OF MODERN MATERIALS IN THE COOLED BLADES, PROVIDING A
HIGHER THRUST OF 9,000 KGF.

SENSORS

NEW MODIFICATIONS INCLUDE THE NEWLY ROLLED-OUT PHAZOTRON

ZHUK-AE ACTIVE ELECTRONICALLY SCANNED ARRAY (AESA) RADAR.
THE PHAZOTRON ZHUK-AE AESA RADAR OFFERS A WIDER RANGE OF
OPERATING
FREQUENCIES,
PROVIDING
MORE
RESISTANCE
TO
ELECTRONIC COUNTERMEASURES (ECM), MORE DETECTION RANGE,
MORE AIR AND GROUND TARGETS DETECTED, TRACKED AND ABLE TO BE
ENGAGED SIMULTANEOUSLY.
THE RADAR IS THOUGHT TO HAVE DETECTION RANGE OF 160 KM (86 NMI)
FOR AIR TARGETS AND 300 KM (160 NMI) FOR SHIPS
