It was “Muh communism wonderland” as someone else put the post.

I don’t understand people saying the data would be “theoretical”. I’ve already flown it in Ace Combat 5.
My post was removed for being “off topic”. I guess someone doesn’t like it when the childish back and forth S-flinging is called out. Hope the thread can be productive. Or I guess making it a D measuring competition is more “on topic”.
Any good data sheets or anything on this? It looks cool.

There are, they are held my the Mikoyan Gurevich design Bureau, I don’t think they are publically available.

Still holding on in case they want to build it I guess! lol
Hopefully something turns up.
thats my point - whether players will be able to make use of it is an entirely different story ofc
I mean, it was built, just not produced, 1 off prototype kinda thing.
NGL, the Flygvapnet RM12 engine has a TWR of 7:1 (Reheat) and 4:1 (Standard), so…
Tech (as of right now) could create a future possibility.
Don’t miss my follow-on to that statement. In an uncontested environment you could possibly mask your signature from a few directions with those external stores. Without internal stores whatever radar reduction it would have would most likely serve it no purpose.
The F100 (F-15s engine) has an uninstalled TWR of 8:1. Still a far cry from 11:1 not to mention the only fighter engine I know of with a legitimate 40,000 thrust has a twr of 6:1. The most powerful you make the engine the heavier it has to get.
Maybe. But right now we can’t.
the MiG1.42 was made before the raptor, it was a late 70’s early 80’s project

i should have mentioned im talking about air-rb and that is uncontested from ground
Especially if you are 50m off the ground 90% of the time, or at a minimum below the enemies.

I’m talking about it being a stealth aircraft in general. It will have a high radar signature with external stores making it useless without internal.
Also other aircraft falla into the definition of contested airspace.
Updated it with a video, watch it if you would, the come back more skeptic than before.
Megaprojects I like his channel. I also have already watched the video a while back. I am certain at some point in the video he even mentioned the Mig being vaporware if my memory serves me correct.
Throw it in to the suggestions topic. It is now by far one of the more sane suggestions for an addition to the game.

Pretty sure it would just be denied, as unlike the Su-47, it doesn’t even have a (real life shown) functioning weapons bay, let alone weapons, which I think is the only reason the Su-47 suggestion got approved.

Wouldn’t it classify as a prototype? What makes this different from suggestion of aircraft going to nations that tested aircraft?
Technically speaking, yes, it could actually move. However, it would be like, snail forbid me saying the word, similar to the EAP, but not 100% the same. As far as I know unlike that thing, it wasn’t meant as a “test platform”, however like the EAP it didn’t have actual weapons or radar mounted on it, let alone a functioning weapons bay. So it would most likely just be denied as it’s an unarmed aircraft.
I could be wrong though, as I’m not 100% sure.

That was the reason I have been opposed to it for so long. But now idk? It feels more grey area then it used to be.
