Gaijin doesn’t believe in existence of Fulcrums based on MiG-29M airframe
since you mentioned that I never noticed that before,
MiG-29UBT 9.52 could be interesting too, but only 2 was ever build, still no radar but you did get CM comp with it (on 2nd prototype)

Im looking at the MMRCA MiG-35 #154 (the one based on the 9.15 airframe) it lacks the normal 16/32 dispensers found on the normal 9.41/61 airframes, but it features the planned mounts from the 9.15s with having it mounted inside the spine. So it appears it doesn’t have any CM mounted in its current configuration but if it was to come to the game would it get the underside CM mounts or the spine mounted CMs?
pics:
It looks like it has LDIRCM which it implemented would practically get rid of the need for flares. (I could be wrong on the LDIRCM, just the bubbles on the engine nacelle and behind the cockpit look like it)
There has been talk about MiG-35 regarding it’s flares, but other MiG-35s have like 32x on the underside. I don’t think any topside flares have been seen on it yet
Looks more like a maw sensor or laser warning sensor. Ldircms are much, much bigger
What about the one on the left engine nacelle? It looks kind of like some sort of DIRCM
afaik it doesnt have a LDIRCM never seen that mentioned anywhere
true but thing is all other mig-35s are based on the 9.41/9.61s this one is built from a 9.15 air frame which was supposed to have flares mounted in the spine
That’s integrated irst pod/targeting pod
Ohhh that makes more sense
If you can someone prove that the panel where the flares would have gone doesn’t have some new electronics in it, and still is able to receive the flare pod then I guess that could work
imo if any 9.15 or 9.31 MiGs will appear in the game they should recieve 120 spine mounted countermeasures as it was originally planned.

#154 in its MiG-35 config + spine mounted CM would be very nice to have
i am still extremely confused why Gaijin just doesn’t want to make any “M” Fulcrums. Like even if they are afraid of community backlash with 9.15 and 9.31 that weren’t put into service, at least give us 9.41, this thing should’ve been added alongside legacy Hornets.

they know flankers bring in much more money and player interest so that is probably why they barley bother with fulcrums
Report got accepted !
Though having the n019me radar doesn’t matter if it doesn’t get r77

Should also be a slight increase in detection range to? Not that it matters to much for in game but still

they really pulled the its not the same aircraft card when the only difference is a fuel probe. i would imagine they wouldn’t accept a source on the MiG-29SD either since its under a different name

the N suffix isn’t actually following MiG’s own suffix too, could also presumably after refuel probe fit. Plus the serial designation is actually 9.12SD, 9.12N doesn’t exist
it’s also stupid because the refuel probe integration was did THE SAME TIME the radar got upgraded (1998-1999). The retractable refuel probe was developed around 1995 before implementing it 3 years later
on minute 2:28 there is RMAF fin flash on lower part of the tail which could be the probe development was in request from Malaysia
