Nah it seems to be somewhat nonsense, after looking at it some more. Look at that wing area, 320m^2 is crazy

Yeah, Typhoon, with 11m of wing span has wing area around 50m squared, 320 is something purely fictional.
According to Mikoyan’s book, 1.44 was planned to be just a purely flight preformance test aircraft, like EAP.
The weaponry wouldn’t come till the production 1.42 model.
Going off expo placards is unwise anyways, they’re usually inaccurate.

we all know thats will not apply in this game, raptor will be trash and su57 a god.
Thank you.
Why did you necro this? There is no good god damn reason to do that
and adding it would become the most speculative aircraft ever seen in this game,…
even F-35/F-22 or Su-57 are much more easy to add in the game, despite a faire amount of specualtions.

It would be cool, but it seems like it was much, much further away from being a production model aircraft than the likes of the 141 (which really should’ve been a GE Premium or random event vehicle instead of something In The Tech Tree anyways).
A speculative ‘Production Model’ MiG-1.44 would bring the total number of available Fifth Generation aircraft up from four to six (since the door would be open for a speculative ‘Production Model’ YF-23 at that point); but since they would be Russian and American aircraft anyways that doesn’t really get around the ‘only America Russia and China have domestic fifth gens’ problem

It will of course be better than any US aircraft on the game even though it’s a concept that never made it to service…ugly as hell too…
The snail hurts me daily…😩
Single airframe was pretty much a proof of concept. It could fly and had bare essentials of avionics to be able to fly. Everything else was written on paper at best. 4 semi-recessed slots for R-77 missiles under the intake were also added purely for testing purposes
141 at least had functional fire control systems, radar (even tho snail slapped wrong one inside of it) and had most of the avionics present.

Soon Sweden could, SAAB’s Project FS-2020 looks very promising, but nothing has come of it for almost 16 years. It’s mostly due to Swedens doctrine, and the lack of want for stealth aircraft from smaller nations that are buying or leasing advanced 4.5 gen fighters like the Gripen E.
Even then, it will be a solid 10+ years until we see one prototype or production model probably. But it’s likely to be the first to truly breach the 6th generation gap.
