| MiG-29 OVT(MiG-35)the most agile fighter in the world |
 |
Russia has unveiled the MiG-35 at an Indian
air show Aero India 2007 in Bangalore, amid
Moscow's keen interest to sell these planes
to India. It was reported that the MIG 35
made it to Bangalore from Moscow, in under
three hours, with as many mid air refuellings
on the way, flying at supersonic speeds.
The MiG-35 is considered to be a serious
contender to the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet,
Dassault Rafale and F-16 Falcon for the bid
of more than 126 multirole combat aircraft to
be procured by the Indian Air Force. Since
the IAF already has maintenance and upgrade
facilities for the MiG-29, this would mean
that the plane could be brought into service
with a minimum of expenditure on
infrastructure.
Aero India 2007 was the first time that the
final version of MiG-35 fighter was
displayed. Until the air show in Bangalore
only the prototype of the MiG-35 had been
shown to the public at air shows in Russia
and Britain in 2005. Mikoyan and the Italian
company Elettronica in Rome signed a
Memorandum of Understanding to provide the
MIG-35 with a new multifunction
self-protection jammerThe Mikoyan MiG-35
(Russian: Микоян МиГ-35) (NATO
reporting name Fulcrum F) is the production
version of the latest MiG-29 with a thrust
vectoring engine and that uses fly-by-wire
technology. The aircraft uses the MiG-29M1
airframe and was formerly known as the
MiG-29OVT (MiG-29M2 and MiG-29MRCA refer to
the twin-seat development). This latest
fighter is more agile and has an increased
range of more than 2,100 kilometres. It also
features improved avionics, vast improvements
in weapons, HOTAS systems, wide range of
weapons of air to air and air to ground, as
well as a variety of defensive and offensive
avionics suite. It is no longer tied to the
GCI system and would be able to conduct
operations independently. It has eight weapon
pylons and is able to refuel as well as carry
three external fuel tanks. The aircraft is
being marketed under the designation MiG-35
for potential export. Russia is promoting the
aircraft to various countries such as Syria,
Libya, Iran, Algeria, Sudan, India, Mexico,
Brazil, Peru. Malaysia is evaluating the type
to add to its existing MiG-29B-12 Fulcrums
and to the new Su-30MKM Flankers, due to be
delivered in 2006.
The latest MiG-35 is to be equipped with the
new Phazotron Zhuk-AE AESA radar.This new
radar can detect aerial targets at 130km
range head-on. It can track 30 aerial targets
and simultaneously engage 6 in attack
mode.General characteristics

| DCX - Mig29 OVT |
 |
This is a development video I produced as I
was coding the Mig-29 OVT for DCX. The Mig-29
OVT is a Mig-29 with 3D thrust vectoring
nozzles on both engines. It can do amazing
aerobatics, as shown.
Once you dogfight with a MIG-29 OVT in DCX,
you'll quickly understand why 3D thrust
vectoring is such a big deal in real world
aeronautics. It gives you incredible levels
of maneouverability. and despite being a bit
twitchy to fly, the better dogfighting
ability really is worth it.
Also note the short take-off and landings 3D
vectoring can give you. STVOL (Short Take Off
and Vertical Landing), like that used in the
AV-8 Harrier, is a form of thrust vectoring.

this Russian jet, showing off its thrust
vector technology - and check the nice paint
job.
The Mikoyan MiG-29 (Russian: МиГ-29) is a
4th generation jet fighter aircraft designed
for the air superiority role in the Soviet
Union. Developed in the 1970s by the Mikoyan
design bureau, it entered service in 1983 and
remains in use by the Russian Air Force as
well as in many other nations. NATO's
reporting name for the MiG-29 is "Fulcrum",
which was unofficially used by Soviet pilots
in service. It was developed to counter new
American fighters such as the F-16 Fighting
Falcon, and the F/A-18 Hornet.
In 1997, the United States purchased 21
Moldovan aircraft for evaluation and
analysis, under the Cooperative Threat
Reduction accord. Fourteen of the aircraft
were the MiG-29S model, which is equipped
with an active radar jammer in its spine and
is capable of being armed with nuclear
weapons. Part of the United States motive to
purchase the Moldovan MiG-29s, was to prevent
these aircraft from being sold to nations it
deemed to be "rogue states", especially Iran.
In late 1997, the MiGs were delivered to the
National Air Intelligence Center (NAIC) at
Wright-Patterson Air Force Base near Dayton,
Ohio. One former Moldovan MiG-29S is
currently on display at the National Museum
of the United States Air Force at
Wright-Patterson, and a MiG-29UB is on
display at the NAIC headquarters of the base.
The fate of all but one of the former
Moldovan MiG-29s is unknown, although many
are believed to have been scrapped. One
MiG-29 is on display at Nellis AFB, Nevada
fully painted in its Soviet colors while
another of the former Moldavian aircraft is
located on the base in its original
camouflage. At NAS Fallon NV air-park, one
MiG-29 is on display and another in display
at MacDill AFB in Florida minus its canopy.
