Russia’s MiG-35 fighter looks to be ‘headed for a crash landing’
The MiG-35 “Fulcrum-F” was once hailed as Russia’s next-generation fighter, but its capabilities have proven underwhelming.
-Marketed as a “4+++ generation” fighter, the MiG-35 debuted in 2007 with promises of advanced avionics and radar systems.
-Despite being the first Russian fighter equipped with an AESA radar, its performance and high price tag have led to failed export attempts in countries like India, Egypt, and Argentina.
-Today, only Russia operates the MiG-35, but its production is stalled due to the ongoing war in Ukraine.
-Moscow’s military resources are stretched thin, further delaying the possibility of manufacturing more of these fighters.
