FS25 MiG-35 v1.0
The Mikoyan MiG-35 (Russian: Микоян МиГ-35; NATO reporting name: Fulcrum-F) is a Russian multirole fighter that is designed by Mikoyan, a division of the United Aircraft Corporation (UAC). Marketed as a 4++ generation jet fighter, it is a further development of the MiG-29M/M2 and MiG-29K/KUB fighters.[5][6] According to a Russian defense industry source, the Mikoyan MiG-35 is essentially an upgraded variant of the MiG-29KR.[7][4] Many consider MiG-35 a new name given by Mikoyan for marketing.[8][9][10] The first prototype was a modification of the aircraft that previously served as a MiG-29M2 model demonstrator given temporary name MiG-35 but a later prototype was a different model with different equipment that served as the base for the MiG-35 as is known today. Mikoyan first officially presented the MiG-35 internationally during the 2017 Moscow air show;[3] the first two serial production aircraft entered service in 2019.[9] Mikoyan built the aircraft primarily for the export market, but the company secured neither foreign buyers nor substantial domestic orders. The aircraft is now considered a failure by military experts. This effectively marks the end of the MiG brand as a frontline fighter designer company.[11][12][13]
