MiG-29/ΜiG-35 Fulcrum: News

GarryB wrote:New can mean newly upgraded or brand new.

The fact that they call them fully multirole suggests significant changes to the mission computers and avionics which were fairly basic for ground attack on the original models.

I believe the fact they call the "new" aircraft multirole suggests they are the SMT's. The 9-12's appear to be all used up and there were very few 9.13's to begin with. The one squadron of 9.13S's apparently were the aircraft upgraded and sent to Armenia a year ago.

Egypt has ordered 48 mig 35, why would they ordered more mig 29 (and not 35) ? (Maybe they will send their f-16 to reserve ?)
Or maybe they bought it for Syria ??

MiG-35 is the export version of MiG-29M/M2, its the same order, that of about ~ 50 fighters
