If the wing features removed folding mechanism - prolly yes, cuz it will make it even lighter

I want a dual seat mig-29m2/mig-35 instead of the single seat ones because they’re actually lighter than the normal single seat ones which is low k funny

what less fuel tanks does to a mf. Such a shame that we don’t have actual numbers about their empty weight. 30% carbon fiber composites, removed fuel tank and folding mechanism should give a significant weight reduction over 9.31

From my readings, I believe 9.61/67 is export focused (MiG-35/35Ds), while 9.41SR/47SR is RuAF models (MiG-35S/UBs.)

There is a bit of a conflict, because some sources also say that MiG-29KR/KUBR also have 9.41SR designation

yes i know. but also the only one with aesa radar other than 9.15

MiG disagrees, they simply call RuAF K/KUBs 9.41R/47R.

only place i have heard the KR/KUBR called SR are on russianplanes.net which is just a site with photos, which used to just say 9.41R/47R until like a few weeks ago so idk why they changed it

Seems that main distinct visual feature of 9.41S and it’s evolutions (SM and SR) is the MAW

This is by far the most dramatic showcase of the airframe 154 that i ever saw
