Overview
The MiG-35 "Fulcrum-F" is the latest and most advanced development of the MiG-29. It has a new glass cockpit, improved radar and targeting systems, more fuel and smokeless RD-33MK engines, and is offered in single-seat and two-seat versions.
It was marketed widely for export, including India's contest for 126 fighters, which the Rafale won in 2012. So far only a handful have been delivered to the Russian Aerospace Forces, starting in 2019.
