small model showing the two extra hardpoints planned for the MiG-35 bringing it up to 11 total, the idea never made it past model mock ups and advertising

Was kinda expecting the wingtips r-73s, though I’d bet at least the ones shown in the photo could carry small bombs or something

im surprised they even planned to fit an extra hardpoint under the wing since its already quite packed with 4 already

They made a big mistake not going for 2 extra slim pylon under intakes for r77 only.
practically scrapping the ground with the fins if you mount an R-77 under the intakes lol
Folder wing existed for so many years now.
Plus its only r77. Astra could work better. Aim120 basically any other missile
Dual racks are a better idea

cant work because they will be no space for the next pylon.
put 2 missiles behind each outher between the intakes
would be great.
sadly not compatible with the one that have the old tail air break.
At that point you can just ditch the airbrake and use the vertical control surfaces
yeah but i think the vertical air brake are bit too small for the plane.
could work if they use the same system as the a10
its not if anything its bigger than the old airbrake
while also being useable with a drop tank
i am so sorry i thought you were talking about the same concept as the su35.
MiG-29 is a tad bit too small for 2 missiles there. 1 can fit for sure tho. IIRC Indian 29Ks can carry some sort of a weapon between nacelles
I miss the whimsical days of inner-most pylon AL-Club or KAB-1500L on MiG-35… Truly a different time back then.

Yeah, a drop tank. :)
No, there was specifically stated that by India request amount of weapon hard points on MiG-29K was increased from 8 to 9
Hyperborea centerline BRAHMOS.
