The MiG has data, issue is it’s all theoretical data, it that is still a majority of what is needed.
So it’s not data
In theory I can punch through the UFP of a Tiger II with my hands

If we were to go with the Data from it’s first flight it can go 600kmh at 1000m. Sounds like a great competitor for the A-10 to race.

And can you show us any of this computed data?

doesnt look stealthy tbh, there is a reason for stealth jets to have roundy designs

But can be a nice addition with some balance if they dont have another option
I’m sure I can get my hand on it, I’d have to do some digging though.
Alrighty, I don’t think you’ll find much though.
Get ready for specification laid out in the Mig MFI design not it’s product.

It’s actually rated at Mach 2.1
Says who, you still don’t have the data.
It’s still an American jet though, and it was tested a lot and even reviewed by germany
So, the one with AL-41F engines, it produces 80k Ft/lbs of force (wet/afterburning), the aircraft’s gross weight (full fuel and crew) is 63k lbs, I think you can do the math on the fact that it outputs more force than it weighs, by quite a bit, and has almost a 1.75 TWR.
Just that, and negating drag, puts it really damn close to (yet over) Mach 2.1, with a said speed of 2.35 Mach, and a 1.5 Mach supercruise.
So there’s the “Faster than F-22” box checked.
It arranged a PESA radar with the capability to track 40 targets simultaneously, and lock 20 simultaneously.
If you mean the actual prototype it never even carried weapons so it’s much worse than the Su-27.
The hypothetical original final aircraft (the MiG-1.42, 1.44 was a demonstrator for that), going buy what the requirements were would have shat on anything that isn’t a F-22 or F-35. From the ridiculous thrust to weight ratio to the radar size, RCS reduction and all the other stuff it would have absolutely been far better than the Su-27SM.
In general the 1.42 was a far more ambitious (and far more expensive) project than the Su-57.
Okay, maybe legit, maybe not. You need to give a source though.
Also 1.75 TWR??? Who done cooked up that number lmao
