MiG-35 vs F-35
MiG-35 russian analogue F-35. 4+++ in russian classification cheaper 5. F-35 is cheaper F-22. Russian analogue F-22 PAK FA. Project in progress. F-35 in russian classification 4+++. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.52.114.70 (talk) 15:41, 22 October 2009 (UTC)


 * The Mig-35 technically is 4++ not a 4+++, but I believe most people are so tired of having this conversation so the F-35 can remain on the list until someone else objects. Although the source listed has nothing to do with aircraft comparisons so i'll be removing that. -Nem1yan (talk) 19:11, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

Powerplant Part
"With the vectored thrust nozzles, the engines are designated RD-33OVT and will allow the MiG-35 to be the first production twin-engine aircraft with vectoring nozzles that can move in two directions or planes. Other current thrust-vectoring aircraft, such as the Su-30MKI and the F-22, have nozzles that vector in one direction/plane."

Whether this is sourced or not, this info is wrong. Any video showing MKIs nozzles clearly indicate they can also move sidewards. So I think it should be deleted.

"In recent years the aviation industry has evidenced an increasing use of jet-powered, instrumented, vectored thrust unmanned vehicles ("research drones"), which increase the potential flyable alpha angle of attack beyond 90 degrees angle of attack well into the post-stall effective/safe flight domains and have also replaced some of the traditional uses of wind tunnels"

So whats the point? I dont see any relationship between this statement and the article.Andraxxus (talk) 11:42, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

The Su-30MKI's nozzles dont truly vector in more than one direction. They are offset from the axis and move in somewhat of a "V" shape. It creates a corkscrew effect and enhances maneuverability but it isnt true 3D thrust vectoring. You can google it if you wish -Nem1yan (talk) 20:38, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

Open Architecture and MIL-STD-1553 bus
THe article mentions that the MiG-35 uses an open architecture and a MIL-STD-1553 bus. Does this mean that the the MiG-35 is compatible with NATO missiles, if the customer should so desire? Axeman (talk) 21:48, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page
Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

✅ This issue has been resolved, and I have therefore removed the tag, if not already done. No further action is necessary.— cyberbot II NotifyOnline 22:16, 9 April 2014 (UTC)

Sold to Egypt
I deleted this section because currently, it is still reported as a "planned sale." My deleted text was subsequently re-instated by the author. Egypt has also purchased Rafele's from France - this is not a "planned sale" as the first three aircraft have already been delivered. See: []. My logic is that there is no point in documenting speculation in the article - once a MiG-29/35 sale has been actually confirmed and deliveries have started, then we can call Egypt a MiG-29/35 operator, not before. Rather than getting into an edit war - perhaps its best discussed here. Farawayman (talk) 15:11, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Actually, the "Egypt" text has been edited again - and now reflects it being a future expected sale - I am fine with that. No need for further comments on this.  Farawayman (talk) 15:27, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
 * have you more sources about this sold to egypt?--Bolzanobozen (talk) 14:26, 28 August 2017 (UTC)

Operators section

 * I approciate the clarification with the relevant guidance provided. I was unaware that it also covered firm orders. Regards Irondome (talk) 20:09, 25 July 2016 (UTC)


 * You're welcome. The wording at WP:AIRCRAFT-OPERATORS is to prevent listing all possible/potential operators in this section. -Fnlayson (talk) 20:24, 25 July 2016 (UTC)

First with Two-direction Vectored Thrust? [only 1 in-service as of 2012]
The article currently states that the first fighter equipped with two-direction vectored thrust was the Sukhoi Su-35S. However, the Su-35S first flew on February 19th, 2008, while the MiG-35 was first revealed in 2007. So while the Su-35S is indeed the first fighter with this feature to enter operational service, the MiG-35 ought to be mentioned as the first to fly overall. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.154.63.69 (talk) 21:07, 12 November 2016 (UTC)


 * Development on the modernized Su-35 (BM/S variant) began c. 2005. I don't see any text in the article now that says the Su-35 was first with vectored thrust.  The text in the Powerplant subsection says the Su-35 is the only in-service fighter with thrust vectoring in two planes in 2012.  That's true as the MiG-35 was not in operational service then and is not yet in service as afar is reported in media. -Fnlayson (talk) 22:33, 12 November 2016 (UTC)


 * All I'm trying to find out is which of the two actually flew first. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.154.63.69 (talk) 23:33, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
