The aircraft utilizes MiG-29M2 airframe, and therefore a tandem twin seat configuration. It is generally more agile and has an increase in range to 2,139 km (1,329 statute miles).[citation needed] It has improved avionics, vast improvements in weapon systems, HOTAS systems, a wider range of air-to-air and air-to-ground weapons, as well as improved defensive and offensive avionics and optical suites, notable the newly unique designed Optical Locator System (OLS).
The most vital changes are the Phazotron Zhuk-AE active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar and RD-33MK "Morskaya Osa" (Russian: Морская Оса) engine. Other obvious changes in the cockpit are the analog layouts being further minimized, replaced by 3 equal size liquid-crystal (LCD) multi-function displays (MFDs) and introduced an additional display for the OLS (rear seat has four LCDs instead). An optical complex is being introduced, consist the newly designed OLS to replace previous IRST sensor, additional OLS under the right air intake and one pair of laser emission detectors on each wing tip.
The RD-133 is a 18,600 lbs (8440 kg / 81.8 kN) thrust class engine in afterburner (wet/reheat).
The present uprated MiG-29M RD-33 engine gives 19,392 lbs (8800 kg / 86.3 kN) of thrust.
The RD-333 which will be on Mig-35 is intended to be of the 22,000 lbs (10,000 kg / 98 kN) of thrust.
The thrust-vectored engine program for the MiG-35 is being financed in part by the VPK-MAPO joint stock defense industrial consortium that Klimov is a member of. It now has priority over the basic MiG-29"M" program and will seek export customers. The MiG-35 is also expected to be heavier than the MiG-33 but will have performance similar to the Su-37. It is slated to be configured with the Zhuk-PH electronically scanned radar that can detect up to 24 targets and engage eight simultaneously matching the eight stations that can carry AA-12 (R-77 "Adder") missiles. The RD-133's will be shifted 920 mm to the rear of the aircraft (Jane's 05Jun96, pg 3), which will allow for 1500 kg (3300 lbs) of additional fuel. This is expected to double the 1430 km range attributed to the Malaysian MiG-29S.

Its a beutifull aircraft. The russians shure do make them pretty, its something about the lines that western designs just dont seem to have to the same degree. And as the saying goe's if it looks right it flys right, and it sure does look right.
This would have to be the front runner for the new indian fighter aquisition, considering the platforms capabilities + their long history with the Fulcrum and the significant support structure thats allready in place. Its a dramatic improvement to an allready potent platform, giving extra range, better payload, 3D TVC, glass cockpit & HOTAS and an AESA radar, if or when they get it up and running. The best improvement IMO is transformation of this platform to a fullly multrole status, with the OLS and the SAR capabilities the radar should give the platform (any AESA worth the name should have decent SAR modes) an excellent strike capability. Definatly give a F16 Block 50 a run for its money.

Another fella,
35 is NOT "vector thurst-ed"
Actually it's an option just like the TVC on Su-30's except 3D.
Maybe, at least, it will only be ready soon in the future.
nfloorl: Sorry did you just say the Block 50??? it doesn't have an AESA no TVC no full glass cockpit and cant go Mach 2.5 like the MiG-35 and can't maintain an AOA of 90 degrees for unlimited amounts of time like the MiG-35.service-ceiling is what matters
brother, what is the service-ceiling of the MiG-35 ???
it is lower than even the sukhoi-34.

I think it's nearly 65,000 ft., correct me if I'm wrong. And please tell me what the service ceiling of the Block 50/52 is.
service-ceiling
the service-ceiling for the block-50/52 is around 54,000-feet
just check out F-16.net

So please tell me how a Block 50/52 can even compete with the MiG-35?
It's approximately 57,000 ft.

For one thing as far as the avionics (apart from the ZHUK AE which is only a prototype) and strike capability the block 50 is comperable or better to the MiG 35. It has a "glass cockpit" and full HOTAS, which has been standard on western fighters for quite a while now, the ruskies are only just catching up. And the MiG 35 cant maintain AOA of 90 degrees for unlimited ammounts of time, thats ridiculous, i'd be impressed if it could hold it for more than a few seconds. Airodynamicaly it is very similar to the original Fulcrum, except its unstable and has a higher wing loading. As far as top speed, they are both comperable, F16 block 50/52 can do Mach 2 at altitude depending on its load out. Sure the Fulcrum can do a bit more which is an advantage, but i wouldnt call it decisive. And then you've got the missile systems, AIM 120 C5 and AIM 120D are longer ranged and arguably more accurate than the R77 (better radar seekers), allthough they arn't as capable airodymnamicaly or kinematicaly. Coupled with offboard sensors the Block 50 would get the first shot over the MiG 35.
How about an F16E block 60 then????? APG 80 would be a hell of alot more capable than a ZHUK AE which doesent even work yet dont you think??? Much better track ranges, LPI and mature electronic attack capabilities, thats a devistating combination especially when coupled with the AIM 120D. Not to mention the huge datalink capability the block 60 has, something the MiG 35 could only dream about.
Look i love the Fulcrum, its one of my all time favorite aircraft and the miG 35 is perhaps the ultimate expression of the type. However that doesent mean it can do everything, like fly around all day at an AOA of 90 Degrees or instantly make a prtotype AESA radar as capable as mature western systems.
From my info its 55.000 ft
