The Mikoyan-Gurevich project 1.44

well, see for yourself;
in the Air:

from takeoff: (Ramjet being ignited at about 180 km/h)

Sure, you can light it, but it’s not going to be efficient.

Sovietsky soyuz came to the game so it can be too

Ships are held to a different standard. While I would love to see it but Yak-141 was pushing it already this is closer to EAP.

As said above, it can’t as there’s different standards in place for different types of vehicles. It never receive any weapons systems nor was it proven to be planned to. This is a similar case to the EAP. Unless it’s proven to be combat capable (it won’t be), it can’t be added given what’s known about the aircraft at this moment in time.

will see my friend how things will be happens and i want to mention that E-100 which only made its hull and others just imagined by its plans so mig 1.44 can get those armaments by its planing phase thx to mig bureau it complied and made its flight so we are just arguing its armament.

You realize this has been denied, despite even carrying mock armaments during its flights

There is 0 reason the MiG 1.44 should get a pass.

E-100 is a tank, not a plane. As mentioned over and over, different standards for different types of vehicles. We aren’t getting the EAP, and we aren’t getting this either.

Su-37 as an which is a tech demonstrator like the eap was is a million times more likely to come to the game than something like this thing, first of all I’m pretty sure this thing only flew like <5 times, and never had any weapon systems attached to it. Even the yak 141 was much closer to becoming reality than this thing.

There’s genuinely a higher chance of the Berkut coming to the game than the Flatpack. And as much as I love the Berkut there’s still a very minimal chance of that coming as well.

EAP was denying explicitly because it was a tech demonstrator, nothing more and nothing less (in this it closer to Su-47 if anything. Also it kinda redundant now considering we have the actual Eurofighter)

Edit: Also, I wouldn’t be surprised, that people here annoyed Smin (and anyone) with EAP to such extend that it wouldn’t see a light out of principle, lol

What if we finally get rid of these superficial and pointless restrictions and add both aircrafts? More planes more fun, Jesus

eap and su-47 were never meant to be armed. and this plane was never armed either

For those who can’t read or don’t want to translate it, it reads:

MiG 1.44 MFI

EXPERIMENTAL RUSSIAN PROTOTYPE OF THE FIGHTER FIFTH GENERATION

OKB MiG

The aircraft on which it was planned to install engines with a controlled thrust vector AL-41F.

It was created as a counterweight to the American F-22 fighter and surpassed its American rival in a number of characteristics.

Had a wide application of stealth technologies.

All the aircraft’s weapons were located in the internal compartments. It was covered with a special radio-absorbing coating. The keels of the aircraft were designed in a special way of curved surfaces, which significantly reduces the EPR of the aircraft.

Date of the first flight: February 29, 2000

Technical Specifications:

Span of creep: 11.99 meter

Length of aircraft: 17.3 meter

Aircraft height: 4.73 meter

Wing area: 320m^2

Weight statistics:

*Empty plane 18000 kg

*Max take off 23500 kg

There is more, but I don’t have time right now.

Translation
MiG 1.44 MFI

Experimental Russian Prototype of a Fifth-Generation Fighter

OKB MiG

The aircraft was designed to be equipped with engines featuring thrust vector control, AL-41F type.

It was created as a counterpart to the American F-22 fighter and in several performance characteristics was intended to surpass its American rival.

It made extensive use of stealth technologies.
All weapons were located in internal bays. The surface was covered with a special radar-absorbent coating.
The vertical fins were designed with specially curved surfaces, which significantly reduced the aircraft’s radar cross-section (RCS).
