World Wide Web, according to Russian military equality, June 10, Isaikin, general manager of the Russian arms export company, has once again talked about the most recent year in the Indian market subjected to a series of setbacks, especially the MiG-35 fighter lost to India 126 medium multi-role fighter procurement tenders largest single problem that the main reason is this aircraft has not put into mass production, not serving in the Russian Air Force, and the fate of its R & D has not yet uncertain.

Isaikin pointed out recently in an interview with Russia’s “Herald”, the MiG-35 troubled, either at home or abroad, and its fate are not clear. Although the defeat of India’s 126 medium multi-function fighter procurement tender, but the MiG-35 does not exist any systemic problems, the main cost me that it was not put into mass production, no large-scale use in the Russian Air Force, while France and the United States and other competitive are rivals have launched mass production of aircraft, which eventually led to the French “Rafale” won the huge contract of at least $ 11 billion Indian Air Force.

Russian experts believe that the failure to mass production is true to say that one of the reasons for the setback in the Indian market in the MiG-35. Of course, the Indian military hopes to achieve the diversification of weapons supply channels to balance the interests of big powers, is also a very clear reason, and above reproach. However, the final winner of the “gust” fighter, although mass-produced products, but before you decided to introduce in India in recent years, has not been able to get export orders, so far only in the French Air Force. Before India has also been imported from Russia, two kinds of essentially no volume production of fighter aircraft, after the first Su-30K and Su-30MKI multi-purpose fighter, the new MiG-29K carrier-based fighter.

There is no doubt that the scale of production of the aircraft, as well as the number of its air force equipment, and indeed will foreign arms buyers choose to have some impact. However, the critical issue is not just the factory amount, but the aircraft’s technical outlook and the actual use of performance can not be determined. Although the MiG-35 to a large extent inherited the design features of the MiG-29K, while India has not encountered any big problems in the procurement of MiG-29K, the current models of the Indian Navy ordered 45 planes, of which 16 have been delivered, the Russian Naval Aviation Order 24, to prove that the MiG-29K, in any case have been mass-produced products, so the MiG-35 should be or can be trusted. But the reality is that the MiG-35 the situation is still very awkward, and only three finished aircraft, in fact, used only for flight technology to display products, the Russian Air Force is not yet equipped with a Although the Russian Air Force shall, in accordance with the 2020 state arms framework to purchase a certain number of MiG-35, perhaps even as many as 50, but the military has not any practical move, not even to discuss with the enterprises should be equipped with this fighter technology outlook . Prior to the Russian Air Force Command in the procurement of MiG-35 the problem is very cautious, there is no reason to believe that the current leadership will completely change this position.

Some experts believe that the MiG-35 have export potential for the development of external markets, the Russian Air Force should be equipped with a certain number of MiG-35, but most experts believe that the prospects of the MiG-35 is still not optimistic Russian Air Force may not be simple in order to support domestic producers of export interest to procurement of MiG-35, and its expensive, there are some technical deficiencies in the airborne system is not perfect, not clear tactical mission, the organization of production uncertainty, there may be systemic problems.
