MiG’s MiG-35 multirole fighters

According to the Russian military news network reported on May 24, before the Russian MiG-35 fighter in the Indian Air Force 126 multi-role fighter tender frustration out Although its overall export prospects may not be a serious impact, but it may not mass-produced, modern equipment, a large number of Russian Air Force MiG-35 plans or abortion.

in the Indian Air Force more than 100 million contract tender modern fighter century, Russia’s MiG-35 and U.S. F/A18E/F, F-16IN, Sweden’s JAS-39 first out. The setback is only a benefit for Russia, which has been produced and started manufacturing the MiG-35 fighters equipped with Russian air force may be the biggest drawback is the mass production of the MiG-35 in the future prospects may be seriously affected. Analysis of Russia’s World Trade Center, 科罗特琴科 weapons that had been in the history of the Russian fighter export a similar incident occurred. 2007 Algeria to Russia products shoddy, old charge, the contract does not meet the requirements of justification, has returned to the delivery of 28 MiG-29SMT fighter. The aircraft subsequently transferred to the Russian air force to use. However, the situation is different MiG-35, MiG-29′s depth is improved products, technical performance has reached the fourth generation + + level, is actually a brand new aircraft.

India rejects U.S. aircraft may be for political reasons, refused to Russian aircraft out is because Indian MiG and Sukhoi aircraft equipped too, and now Russia and India also signed value to perform $ 964 million contract to upgrade 63 MiG-29 and worth $ 800 million to upgrade 40 Su-30MKI contract, worth $ 1.5 billion in 29 carrier-based aircraft MiG -29K/KUB supply contracts, worth $ 3.3 billion 140 Su-30MKI fighters licensed production contracts worth $ 1 billion in 80 m-17V5 helicopter supply contract. This is to seek a regional power, and even the world’s great power status for India, obviously it seriously by others in the field of military technology, to know that in 2010 only $ 10.1 billion Russian arms exports, the Indian market up to 50% above. It is these factors may force the Indian Defense Ministry selected the Eurofighter. While some experts point out that Europe, “Typhoon” aircraft is only equipped with mechanical scanning radar, long-range missiles, the air war as a key factor in the active phased array radar to appear until 2015, compared not only with the MiG-35 fighters India need the performance of advanced airborne radar, but also offer cheaper by half, the Indians still do not seem to make a reasonable choice, apparently out of strategic considerations, in some countries to send meaningful signals.

Yuri Sharapova Russian military experts believe that the MiG-35 frustrated the Indian market very serious consequences, and will soon be apparent. Russian Defense Ministry had hoped to export to India through the signing of contracts, supplies again after the completion of the Syrian exports, so that the cost of the MiG-35 levels lower than initially expected two to three percent, and then began to organize mass production, equipment, the Russian Air Force. India is now lost, first for the Russian Defense Ministry will modernize the Russian air force MiG-35 production-type program suffered a heavy blow, do not know can not be mass-produced MiG-35 in the case of the Russian Defense Ministry if they would adhere to purchasing the aircraft. In addition, the MiG-35 now is not optimistic about export prospects, the traditional market and political turmoil in East and North Africa, especially in Syria, Algeria, and Libya. Of course, the abolition of production of the MiG-35 the most pessimistic results may not become a reality, however, adversely affected production prospects is an indisputable fact.
