Did a light skim over the comments but haven’t seen anyone ask this yet:
Why can it only carry 2 R-27ER/ET missiles but 4 R-27R/T missiles?
Regardless, major +1, as it would actually make for a highly competitive Flight Model MiG-29 (and they tend to be quite lackluster in my experience)
Generally because of a weight restriction on certain pylons
Beautiful video! Yes it’s definitely a MiG-29M 9-15!
Other 2 people liked it, now you can like it too :D
I love how successful this suggestion is, 94% acceptance is no joke. I’ve seen multiple ppl that aren’t even Russia mains getting excited with the possible addition of this plane.
We’ll get it soon 🙏
34 now, +1 and it’s 35 :)
36 now )))
Come on Gaijin make it happen.
I want strong proper Mig-29 that can handle F-16’s, not some fatass SMT.
Not to set expectations too high but the instability alone, doing a quick calculation by making the lift done by the elevator positive instead of negative, at around 450kph at SEA level it should get ~0.3G extra normal overload in a sustained turn (weight increase included).
Considering it also has refined aerodynamics (especially for higher AoAs), stronger engines and improved intakes that should massively reduce the very high thrust loss it currently has at low speed…. This thing seems to be really a monster in flight performance, probably better than even the gripen.
No wonder the MiG-29K looks absolutely insane in airshows while weighting 1 ton more

I just love grinding new vehicles, Idy why it’s so satisfying to grind vehicles
Inside the cockpit of the MiG-29 OVT, which was originally the MiG-29 9-15 156 aircraft. Redirecting...
as a event or premium vehicle, mig-35 should be after mig-29smt

Why just the MiG-35? I would understand jumping to the 2005 MiG-29M/M2 but the MiG-35 is far more modern aircraft that was also basically made in 6 prototypes…
fun fact: The 4th prototype of the MiG-29 9-15 (aircraft 154) later became the 2005 prototype of the MiG-29M/M2 and in 2007 became the first aircraft fitted with MiG-35 specs:

December update would be the perfect timing for its addition, let’s keep our fingers crossed ;)
Mig29s can carry 6 x R77s
