Tarasenko: MiG-35 has not yet shown all its capabilities

UAC Vice-President: MiG-35 has not yet shown all its capabilities

According to the comments of the Vice-President of the United Aircraft Building Corporation Ilya Tarasenko, although India withdrew from the FGFA program (the development of the fifth generation fighter based on the Su-57), Russia remains open to collaborate on this project.

According to Tarasenko, the corporation intends to make changes in the approach to servicing the aircraft after the sale, and the MiG-35 is planned to be sold to other countries. The transition to a new progressive model primarily provides for an integrated service. The vice-president of the corporation stressed that for these purposes Russia can use the customer's infrastructure, due to which new jobs will be created.

India is one of the most important partners of Russia. At the same time, it is also the most solvent. Therefore, its Ministry of Defense seeks to diversify arms shipments, while simultaneously imposing technology transfer requirements. This weapon market is both attractive and rather complex.

Tarasenko, answered the most important questions. First of all, it was about the MiG-35, withdrawn from a large Indian tender. According to the official, the MiG has changed dramatically since the MMRCA-1. Now all its characteristics meet the requirements of New Delhi.

Russia expresses its readiness not only to transfer the finished aircraft, but also to establish their licensed production in India. As for the updated version of the aircraft, it will certainly interest those who operate the MiG-29, and it was purchased by more than 50 states.

The official carefully commented on the conflict situation with the ship version of the MiG. He said that there were no official complaints from the Indian side.
