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.
It’s a bit more “legit” than this, a proven design, overall better known stats and etc.
All the stats for the MiG-1.42/44 are classified or in the design bureau cabinets, which would be an insane amount of hoops to get some of the unclassified stuff. All the theoretical stats of it are realistic, but things aren’t always what they are on paper, like how the F-111 was the “Jet to end all jets” and that whole JFK speech.
(Low altitude, high speed interdiction aircraft just make me drool, and now that I have the Su-24 it’s even better, that is ignoring the zomber fighters, the Mirage F-1C’s, MiG-23’s, F-5C’s, and others make it impossible to have fun outside of sim)

If MiG 1.44 enters the game many more aicrafts could follow up.
In such i have in mind several french prototypes.
Speaking of French, we’re missing the partial inspiration for the Su-24, the Dassault G.8-01, a sweep wing “interdictor” mirage.
and an armed Nord 1500 Griffon II
The abomination of a F-16 that bred with a Mirage III
the abomination? nah,…
simply imagine an insanely high acceleration ability (1 normal engine + 1 Stato-reactor engine) with 2 Magic-1 and 2x 30mm guns (no flares / no radar - so no R.530) at same BR than Mirage IIIC, and still being a Delta Wing
A real God amongst every other aircraft
Speed isn’t really that important, and considering you can’t run the ram-jet without flying in a straight line, your low speed turning performance would be very ‘meh’ at best.
all that and only mach 2.19
due to structural materials, the combination of engine could do more, but the Duralumin material was unable to withstand heat due to airflow
Yeah, when they intro things like the Foxbat, YF-12, and even the Blackjack, it’s a useless tool.
Ends with a “top gun: maverick” esc decintegration?

that Stato-reactor have been shown to be ignite at lowspeeds
