Unlikely, It’s been brought up to Gaijin before and they just handwave it away. :P
Nuke him and his cronies

Is this actually real, or just some most excellent shitpost ?
It is.
It’s a clipping of a 1990’s report from the USN about the Super Hornet performance.
Pretty sure @ron_23 has the original file.

If only MiG did a similar document, we could’ve still have a sizeable fleet of Fulcrums in Russian airforce

@GitGood Do you happen to have any sources that can be used in bug reports for the OLS-Ms laser designation capability? I realized i only have one that being gordons book, which is not enough.
Not really. It was made in 1 or 2 exemplars most likely, if you look at 9.15 photos, on most of them there are no IRST sensor installed, only duds or mock-ups (or a tv camera if we are talking about firts 9.31 airframe). You are better off reporting OLS-UE for MiG-29K at this point, this one is at least mass produced
i will see what i can come up with, i might have found something in my folder from the US national air intelligence center document related to the MiG-29M idk if that can be used as a source i will check up on that

It’s probably upgraded for training on newer MiG-29s (like SMT, M, K, and 35) which use those systems.
(they all use L-150, some of them use UV-5)
((i feel the need to specify in fear of someone coming in with “errmmm actually MiG-29K doesn’t use UV-5”))
It’s also one of the Algerian rejects, this is probably the only regular 9.53 that received the L-150 and UV-5 as part of the state flight center since it has the logo on the nose.
But newer 9.53Rs would be built later also with L-150s and UV-5
(Same story as the 9.19 and 9.19R)

I hope we get 9.19R with R-77-1.
I don’t care if it’s bad I want it.

I feel like it’s more likely we’d get 9.61 with them as the continuation on the SMT line
9.61 is a long shot. A single airframe with almost identical to MiG-35 characteristics outside of AESA radar. Gaijin is reluctant to add such things in tech tree without a very good cause.
I mean, we already have the KR in game, and the 9.41 airframe is similar to the 9.61 other than the increased weight due to naval features. If it retains the regular Zhuk-M radar instead of AESA and gets 77-1s, I could see it being a 14.0 addition.
you just described MiG-35. So why would 9.61 be added if perfectly fitting 9.41SM exists?
9.61 also predates R-77-1, so unless we are playing F-5C card again, i don’t think it’s a good idea to give it missiles from the future
I guess i was getting my variants confused. But basically my point is I can see a mig-29m with 77-1s as a 14.0 addition. I’m not too sure about aesa mig-29m/mig-35 because we already know how compressed 14.3 is, and it certainly don’t really hold its own against the 30SM in game.
Current in-service MiG-35 fits it pretty well. Only difference from MiG-29M (i am assuming you mean modern model that Egypt and Algeria purchased) would be R-37M compatibility and maybe some modern Russian A2G ordnance.
AESA MiG-35s are both tech demos, one made from old 9.15 airframe, other (at least from what people on the internet say) is actually good old 9.61 airframe that was put on a static display with different tail. @Balta779517-live you know something about that?
Yeah. I was talking about the modern model.
