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.
Not my fault India has nothing to put there, wiring was added so…
But again, for anything other than War Thunder 16v16 circus, 8 hard points is more than enough for vast majority of combat missions, considering that 4 of them can carry large caliber weapons. Su-35S in Ukraine usually carry “Gentleman’s kit” of 2 R-73, 2 R-77-1, 2 R-37M and 1 Kh-31. MiG-35 can compete with that. Biggest limiting factor of MiG-35 in my opinion is engines, we are still stuck with RD-33 even if it is heavily upgraded. We need something with higher fuel economy to drastically increase combat range.
Im pretty sure fuel consumption is reduced with the FADEC thing or whatever it was
Well, Rosoboronexport says that operational radius is 1400 km with 3 drop tanks. Which is comparable to Su-35S iirc (but 3 drop tanks rob you of 2 high calibre hardpoints)
Don’t remember who i was talking with here about R-60s not being able to recieve targeting information from HMS. Book about Su-27 has a paragraph about development of Schel-3 system and it was tested on a MiG-23M with R-60M missiles. It even had initial codename “ЦУРТ-60” after K-60 missiles that it was designed for.
no mig

Dev stream and server probably gonna be tommorow. There is a faint chance that at least 12.7 MiGs will get R-73s

Yak141 with r73s, dont forget🥲

Ah yes, the missile that i will probably never equip on a 141. R-27R is just better
I’d prolly replace my one 27t with r73.
2 er, 1 r and 1 73 imo will be best loadout.
R/er get multipathed too often

I prefer Fox-1s to Fox-2s in most cases, and 141 has goated radar to abuse R-27Rs and ERs
