Meanwhile I casually hop on my Pantsir SM-SV, pop some soda, open my favorite playlist and enjoy the relaxing gameplay while listening music and cooling myself with ice cold drink whenever my cortisol level raise up.

Wt is indeed fun if you know where to look at it.

If only the MiG had more lift and less drag …

Best i can do is make it compress more… and remove some thrust as well

Fun fact, the MiG-29 is the first plane with 100% channel loss!

That’s right, when you install the engines, they stop working completely!

Can someone remind me, 741, when it was labeled as MiG-35 was a part of MMRCA competition, right? My eye just catched tail sensors, and it seems that this airframe has Tarang RWR installed.

741 was built after MiG was eliminated from the MMRCA, the MiG-35 branding was just advertising for the MiG-35 platform at air shows etc.

As for the sensors Im not to sure tbh I have tried figuring it out myself but haven’t found a solid answer

It is most certainly not L-150



L-150 knobs placed right above rudder, and top mounts are used for a formation light on the left tail, and most likely a transponder antenna on the right tail


same antennas were present on the MiG-29K prototypes as well.

here is a photo of 941, one of the first MiG-29Ks built

are these meant to be the tarang RWR on the indian models?

yes, that’s what i was talking about. They are nothing like L-150 knobs

yeah, but also at the same time for both 741 and 747 which were never intended for India to carry the tarang rwr doesn’t make alot of sense? As both these were supposedly intended for Syria but they were never delivered

also MiG-35D 967 has these same tarang looking sensors


also looks to be lacking MAWs sensors aswell

iirc 967 was made out of 9.15 airframe 154?


Scratch that, looks like 9.41, krueger flaps and allat

no, both 961 and 967 were built from airframe 941 and 947 MiG-29K/KUB prototypes

somebody should make a Mig-29 family tree showcasing what airframe originates from which precursor programm
