IF, BIG IF gaijin chooses to add stealth aircraft to the game, America would obviously get the F-35/F-22. But what about Russia? They only have the Su-57 Felon right? Wrong!
The Mikoyan-Gurevich project 1.44, the raptor slayer (not dubbed by me).
Now to get to the title. It’s Russian, that’s the first tid-bit. Secondly, it’s another Yak-141 story, never weaponized.
If it’s been done once, it can be done again, and for multiple nations.
It’s said to have the radar response size of a household microwave. It’s faster than the F-22, it’s lighter than the F-22, has a higher TWR than the F-22. It’s genuinely better than the F-22, and has external weapon stores, meaning it doesn’t have any issues with internal stores with 10-12 hardpoints.
Sadly, it only flew once, not because it crashed, not because it was bad, not even because it was fake. It’s because the kremlin killed the project, dispite how promising it was, it was too late, getting caught in the crossfire of the collapse of the USSR, and wouldn’t be in enough numbers if the F-22 ever thought about coming to Russia. I find it a great vehicle, not able to ever spread its wings (pun not intended)
