The Russian MiG-41 interceptor fighter will be built on the basis of the Su-57 fighter.
The information resource Avia.pro obtained information that the newest fighter-interceptor MiG-41, being developed by Russian aircraft manufacturers, is being created on the basis of the fifth generation Su-57 fighter. We are talking about the configuration of an aircraft with a modified airframe, since, according to the previously presented data, a combat aircraft will be able to reach speeds of more than 6100 km / h, and, obviously, the cruising speed of an interceptor fighter in this case will be about 2500-3000 km / h ., which, today, cannot be demonstrated by any other combat aircraft in the world.
Taking into account the fact that we are talking about an interceptor fighter, experts have suggested that the armament complex of this combat aircraft will be limited for performing specific tasks, in particular, we can talk about anti-satellite missiles, hypersonic interceptor missiles and, probably, hypersonic aircraft missile systems "Dagger" or their analogues.
Experts do not exclude that the design of the MiG-41 fighter will be similar at the same time to the appearance of the Su-57, the appearance of the MiG-31, which this combat aircraft will have to replace in the near future.
The two schools will never transfer their developments to each other. There will be constant flogging, swearing and behind-the-scenes hostility.
Why did they decide at the top that they would just sit down and be friends in a friendly way when they competed throughout their history.
So, let's just figure out that what is written here cannot correspond to reality. Or is it the final funeral of the MiG, which is quite understandable ... To fly at a speed of more than 2500 km / h, you need a fuselage made of stainless steel. Sukhoi practically did not work on stainless steel fuselages. Except for T-4 (weaving), but it was TITANIUM.
Next, we need ramjet engines. Did the MiG have a ramjet engine in the drawings, Sukikh? In addition, the MiG 41 glider needs to be lengthened in order to cram all the weapons and fly up to 7000 km without refueling.
Su 57 even with 4 PTBs will fly 5500 km.
In addition, the MiG had a glider in operation that 100% satisfied the MO requirements for the MiG 41 prototype.
Now sho the MiG glider under the cloth and Sukikh's glider in what you need?
Something I strongly doubt that in conditions of strong financial constraints they will re-create another glider for huge amounts of money.
EMNIP Mr. Tarasenko gen. director
Sukhoi-MiG said that the MiG 41 is being created on the basis of the MiG 31. Who should we believe? Confusion and vacillation never cease to amaze me.
Experimental Soviet interceptors E-152 OKB and T-37, equipped with the R-15 engine, were able to develop (and the E-152 actually developed) a speed of more than 3 thousand km / h. With missile weapons the speed of these aircraft is M 2,5 (~ 2.65 thousand km / h). For the Su-27, the maximum speed (i.e., the maximum combat speed) is indicated as 2.5 thousand km / h (actual on tests is about 2.8 thousand km / h). Read Wikipedia or something.
