But an F16 without amraam is not so usefull. Russia also offered Zhuk-A/AM AESA radar for export market. [63][12] The Phazotron Zhuk-A/AE AESA radar offers a wider range of operating frequencies, providing better resistance to electronic countermeasures (ECMs), extended detection range and more air and ground targets detected. The most famous of these was 534 flown by Captain Munir Redfa who defected on 16th August 1966 from el Arish airbase, Egypt, to Hatzor, Israel.

[14] The fighter has vastly improved avionics and weapon systems than early variants of MiG-29, notably new precision-guided targeting capability and the uniquely designed optical locator system, which relieves the aircraft from relying on ground-controlled interception systems and enables it to conduct independent multirole missions. [59], The MiG-35 has a glass cockpit equipped with night-vision goggles, an additional display for the optical locator system, and a 3-equal-size color LCD multi-function display.

USAF F-16 pilots each shot down two additional Iraqi aircraft, including a MiG-23 and a MiG-25. [16] A previously planned thrust vectoring MiG-35 variant was planned to include thrust vectoring nozzles that could direct thrust on two different axis. [10][11][12][13][14] The first prototype was a modification of the aircraft that previously served as a MiG-29M2 model demonstrator. The system consists of infrared sensor and TV camera and is capable to detect ground targets up to 20 km and sea targets up to 40 km. Its better then the F16 block 52 which Iraq is receiving, also they will supply BVR missiles and not restrict spare parts or weaponry, at least unlike the US they have a strong record in supplying countries whenever they need it.

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. Iraq began military cooperation with the Russian Federation back in 2016, with deliveries of Mi-28, Mi-35 attack helicopters, and Pantsir-S1 A2/AD systems. Furthermore Iraq allegedly do not receive anymore all of the spare parts they need. i think mig 35 far superrior to Su 30 sir and i bet on it go for Mig 35 you will get air superiority in the air with this jet better zuck radar it has as similar to F 15 but better than F 15 i think as today. [38], In July 2017, the director general of the MiG, Ilya Tarasenko, told the press: "We are now testing, and after the results will begin mass production. [33], On 6 September 2016, according to the general designer of the United Aircraft Corporation Sergei Korotkov, first MiG-35s were to be delivered in November 2016 to the Russian Air Force for flight testing to confirm the technical characteristics of the aircraft. Is The U.S. Navy In Danger Of Falling Behind China’s PLAN? [12][6] The serial production aircraft does not have an option for thrust vectoring control as previously planned.
