based, looking forward to it

yeah,
i need to edit a single post tho bc the forum dosent allow me to reply more than 3 times to this thread back to back without somebody else posting something

but hey that way it is atleast a bit more organized

Interesting that some of brochures say RD-33 Series3 M engines, while others say RD-33MK for MiG-29M/M2 and K

@GitGood i think i have gotten everything out of my goldmine now

Well, we can slap a Thales HMD on MiG-29K because it is mentioned and Photo of 9.41 is with Russian livery lmao. Also RD-33MK is said to be smokeless, so at least MiG-35 and 29K will finally not trail coal smoke behind.

something else thats interesting


atlest i didnt see a weapons list for it like that yet

No laser guided weapons or TGP, sadly. On the other hand, this weapon kit (as well as no evidence of 9.41 being capable to carry 8 R-77s) can put MiG-29K at 13.3 br

i could see gaijin just copy pasting the 29M loadouts

Same here. There was also a mock-up of 29K on one of the UAC exhibitions with R-77-1s on outermost pylons (but this is barely an evidence or proof).

Surely the irst can guide the laser weapons

Well, OLS-M can, but 9.41 has OLS-UE and I have zero clue about its capabilities.
Found dis

Judging by this laser designator should work for ip to 15 kilometres? Because that’s the operational range of a laser rangefinder and I doubt that there is 2 laser channels in one IRST module
Wait, I can’t read, it says 20 km for a laser designator

I assume these are a bit old or outdated since there’s no mention of RVV-SD on the 29SMT.

But those are some great finds otherwise!

probably due to age of the brochures judging by the pictures since its still using the 9.31 MiG-29K and 9.15 MiG-29M2 in the pictures

Yes, but it is still not RD-33K that is found on 9.15 and 9.31, this is what i find interesting

MiG-29M/M2 brochure does feature Kh-29L, both in text and as a picture

So, 13SM-1 was shown on different expos since 2007, alongside IRST for Su-27/35 called OLS (thank you, UOMZ, very cool. Naming your specific IRST module with a name that describes entire class of such modules is a gigachad move).
But it seems that MiG-35 in service features OLS-UEM, an upgraded version of OLS-UE.

man iam still searching for info on the OLS-30
