The Mig-29kr should receive It’s R-77-1 and Kh31PD/AD and can be moved to 14.0 , it would fix it’s BVR capabilities which it really lacks while facing 14.7 Top tier Jets since it can’t use R27ER ,
It would also provide USSR its sole 14.0 jets while stand separate from Mig29m
so an increased BR would appropriate for the increased capability.

you have the Su-27SM which outperforms every current 14.0 plane already
Let’s leave the MiG-29KR as it is and wait for the MiG-35 which could fill that spot instead

I get the point but man it ain’t about Su27SM, (i really like migs :p)
Not Having 27ER already hinders it long range perfomance at 14.0+ games , So ig giving it R-77-1 would be fair trade-off for the BR.
Besides who knows when they would Mig-35 and it most certainly be a 14.3-7 jet :/
I personally think the MiG-29KR is fine at 13.7
Mainly due to the CM count.
Moving it up imo would just hurt it
Without next generation of missiles there is nothing in MiG-35 arsenal that would justify 14.3/14.7 br. Major difference between 29KR and 35 is weight reduction and addition of MAW and LWS. In-service airframes still use Zhuk-M mechanical radar found on 29KR and 29SMT and they still are limited to only 6 radar guided missiles. Introduction of R-37M can justify br above 14.0 but this missile is way too early at this moment.
R-77+R-27ER combo on an actual airframe is much better than MICA on mid platform
Mirage is good, but 27SM beats it
90% chance that gaijin puts the AESA in it since it can technically use it and making it a 14.3
Putting AESA prototype on a MiG-35 ✅
Giving MiG-29M its 120 countermeasures and full IRST functionality ❌

i dont think the OLS-M laser has been bug reported even
I’ll tell you more. MiG-29K and M can’t use R-77, it’s an analogue missile, while K and M have digital racks. M also can’t carry 8 missiles, it was a one off prototype called “airframe 156”. If we count that as “real” vehicle, then let’s add AAM-4 to EJ Kai and AIM-120s to F-14A.
It’s ridiculous how many very modern planes get outdated armaments that they cannot possibly carry, like R-Darters on Gripen C SA, R-77 on Su-34, etc.
Both 9-15 ‘155’ and 9-15 ‘156’ had 8 missiles
how did he know
He’s Balta, he knows too much

The 9.41 model can only carry x6 R-77 and x2 R-73, but the 9.15 definitely carried x8 R-77, as both 155 and 156 were seen carrying up to x8 R-77.
Even the MiG-35 9.15D (Which used as MiG-29M 9.15 as a basis) could carry x8 R-77s.
Still not a real deployed plane.
Its a real plane
It had issues with carrying them, same as F-16 block 70. It is possible, it’s been tested, where’s F-16V for USA with 8 missiles?
Not consistently real.
Edit: not literally “not real” like Kh-38MT, but “not real” as in gaijin would say it’s not real if it was Italian or British.
