MiG-35 is a new export variant that combines the modern systems of the MiG-29M2 with an AESA radar and manufactured by Mikoyan. The military aircraft has the pushed vectoring of the MiG-29OVT as an extra choice.
Improved avionics and weapon systems, notably the new AESA radar and the uniquely designed optical locator system (OLS) make the aircraft less dependent on ground-controlled interception (GCI) systems and enables the MiG-35 to conduct independent multirole missions.
MiG-35 is viable with Russian and unfamiliar starting point weapons applications and an incorporated assortment of protective frameworks to build battle survivability. The military aircraft is being showcased all inclusive under the assignment MiG-35 (single seat) and MiG-35D (double seat).
MiG Corporation made their first official worldwide MiG-35 introduction during Aero India 2007. MiG-35 Fulcrum-F is an export version of the MiG-29M OVT (Fulcrum F).
MiG-35 development:
The last form of MiG-35 was shown just because at Aero India 2007. The prototype of the MiG-35 had been shown to the public in 2005 at air shows in Russia and the UK.
MiG-35 is a contender to the Eurofighter Typhoon, F/A-18E/F Super Hornet, Dassault Rafale, JAS 39 Gripen and F-16 Falcon for the bid of more than 126 multirole combat aircraft worth $10bn to be procured by the Indian Air Force in Indian MRCA competition.
Mikoyan will commenced production of the MiG-35 fighter at the Sokol aviation plant in Russia in 2013 or 2014 as part of the bid. The export version aircraft was demonstrated to the Russian President, Vladimir Putin at MAKS-2019 airshow in August 2019.
In June 2019, Russian Aerospace Forces got conveyance of initial two MiG-35 contender planes.
MiG-35 AESA radar:
MiG-35 is the primary Russian airplane to be fitted with dynamic electronically examined exhibit radar. The Zhuk-MA's recieving wire comprises of 160 modules, each with four get and-send modules. It is accepted to offer a 160km (85nm) air target recognition span and 300km for surface boats.
Like radar, OLS permits the MiG-35 to recognize targets and point weapon frameworks. However, in contrast to radar, OLS has no discharges, which means it can't be distinguished.
OLS works like a natural eye by getting the image and later examining it. NII PP, the government space office science and exploration organization's architects have picked all the more short-wave groups for the network, which has expanded affectability of the complex a few times and has expanded recognition extend.
The OLS on the MiG-35 is considered to help pilots to spot even the USAF's secrecy planes. OLS incorporates a complex of ground-breaking optics with IR vision that makes it incomprehensible for any plane to cover up.
OLS solves the problem of blurred vision.At speed, each bit of residue can make hurt the glass of the OLS. The new OLS utilizes leuco-sapphire, the following hardest material after fake jewels, making the lifetime for such glass any longer. As indicated by NII PP engineers, leuco-sapphire is clear for all the OLS outflows and doesn't degenerate the sign, a significant factor for the optical framework
MiG-35 engines:
The MiG-35 is controlled by two RD-33MKBs that can be fitted with KliVT turn spouts and a push vectoring control (TVC) framework. The MiG-35's blend of TVC and progressed rocket cautioning sensors gives it the edge during battle.
RD-33 motors produce 7% more force contrasted with the gauge model because of the advanced materials that go into the assembling of the cooled edges. The engines provide a higher-than-average thrust of 9,000kgf.
RD-33 motors are smokeless and incorporate frameworks that diminish infrared and optical perceivability. The motors might be fitted with vectored-push spouts, which would bring about an improvement in battle productivity.
Russia’s developmental work on thrust vectoring started in 1980s. The Sukhoi and Saturn/Lyulka motor plan departments drove the way, and their endeavors brought about the Su-30 MKI airplane.
The MiG and Klimov engine bureaus began their work in the field of thrust vector engines a little later and aimed at all-aspect thrust vectoring, as opposed to Sukhoi / Saturn’s two dimensional (horizontal / vertical) vectoring.
Klimov accomplished all-angle vectoring with the guide of three water driven actuators that divert the spouts, and are mounted at 120A° tretches around the motor nacelle. This empowered MiG-35 to fly at extremely low speeds without approach restrictions, and guaranteed that it will likewise stay controllable in zero-speed and 'negative-speed' (tail-forward) regions for supported periods.
Manoeuvrability:
The MiG-35 is an exceptionally flexibility air prevalence warrior, which was appeared without precedent for August 2005 during the MAKS Air Show outside Moscow. The contender is fueled by RD-33 OVT push vectoring control motors. The RD-33 OVT motors give predominant mobility and improve the contender's presentation in close aerial commitment.
The MiG-35 presents super-mobility, a capacity to fly at supercritical approaches at expanded degree of supported and accessible g-burdens and high turn-point rate, which requires a more noteworthy push to-weight ratio and improved wing aerodynamic efficiency.
MiG-35 weapons:
The airplane's set-up of guided weapons incorporates Kh-31A enemy of boat rockets with dynamic radar searchers, the Kh-31P enemy of radar rockets, Kh-29TE rockets and KAB-500Kr TV-guided bombs. Included, when furnished with an outside optical/laser focusing on case, the contender can utilize the Kh-29L air-to-surface rockets and KAB-500L laser-guided bombs. These weapons will permit the airplane to draw in elevated and land targets.
Italy-based Elettronica consented to an arrangement with Mikoyan in 2007 to help in joining ELT/568(V)2 self-assurance jammer in the MiG-35. The jammer renders self preservation from radar controlled enemy of airplane big guns.
Refuelling:
An expansion of a lash on tank behind the cockpit has permitted MiG-35 to have a higher interior fuel limit of 950l. The limit of the outer fuel tank suspended under the fuselage has expanded up to 2,000l. Ferry range with three external fuel tanks has also been increased, rising to 3,100km, and with one in-flight refuelling the range will be 5,400km.
The fuel the board framework has likewise been digitized, and incorporates another advanced fuel metering framework.
Performance:
MiG-35 can climb at the rate of 330m/s. Its maximum speed is 2,400km/h. The normal and ferry range of the aircraft are 2,000km to 3,100km respectively. The service ceiling is 17,500m. The aircraft weighs around 11,000kg, its maximum take-off weight is 29,700kg.
