What is russia's premium VIII aircraft gonna be?

Hello so out of curiosity what is russia’s premium VIII jet gonna be? I don’t think it’s going to be the Mig-25 Foxbat since I believe they might reserve that jet as either an event vehicle, tech-tree vehicle, or possibly a squadron vehicle.

It might just be another copy and paste Mig-29 premium that Italy received last update but what do you think?

It might be too early for it… but I want the MIG-29OVT, pre-series of the MIG-29M:

It will almost certainly be copy paste as that is what gaijin does 95% of the time.

Probably

MiG-29S?

It is either going to be a mig-29s with its loadout limited to the r27er and r73 or the Su27P which is basically the same as the tech tree Su27 but it loses access to air to ground stuff

Mig29ovt is more of an event vehicle than a premium

OVT came after 29M 9-15, it was Blue 156

Anyway if I had to guess what gaijin will give russia for a premium rank 8, it’d have to be the MiG-29K

Well I want to see 29M first…
(In the tech tree)

No, that thing has $$$ printed all over it. Premium for sure, make that camo pre-order exclusive and print the money!

Absolutely, as I said it might be too early for it, but it could also come like the F-2A/ADTW… but as far as I can find it is a fully functional Mig-29M, except it loses the IRST and gets thrust vectoring.

Not for now since it would be at least 13.7 and they would have to do much more work for it than simply copy pasting the 9.13 and giving it the r73 or the su27

MiG-29S would be my bet 13.0 if they decide to not give it its R-77s and probably 13.3 if they decide its gonna get R-77 since im pretty sure it still has the SPO-15

And it would be pretty much a Mig29g equivalent like that and they will probably not give it the r77 since it would put it at too high of a br

It seems like they aren’t willing yet to add premiums at a higher br than 13.0

Ah… yeah, I stated that in my original comment:

I fully expect it to be 13.7/14.0 but max BR for air is 14.3 so that’s only one notch below the 1 full BR gap they like to keep for air…and ground only has a 0.3 gap between premiums and max BR.
Given that it’s one entire sentence, please actually read it before telling me I’m wrong. I said I want it as a rank 8 premium, not that I think it will be the next one we get.
