The gear is improving slowly but at least they are doing it #notgonnacomplain.

Indeed.. it looks like " made to order" depending on the intended terrain of operations..

Incredible moves.. shows the mastery of the fighters by the pilots.. it seems almost easy to fly the f-16s

Looks like a lot of the aerial footage including that close part was filmed with a drone!

So according to this article and video, Alexander Mikheev of Rosoboronexport at MAKS 2017 was asked by this guy what exactly is the MiG model that Egypt is getting. His answer is in Russian in the video but this is supposedly the translation, and apparently this MiG is something between the MiG-29M/M2 and the MiG-35, but it's neither!?

VIDEO. Mig 35 Egyptian: the end of the myth!

Mig 29 M2 or Mig 35? the Egyptian Air Force, who is about to receive its first fulcrums kept the mystery. That ho has not been the case of social networks where real information war took place between the supporters of the idea that the order concerned Mig 35 and those who felt that he could not act Of Mig 29M2.

During our visit to the MAKS Air Show organized by Rostec, we had the opportunity to see the MIG 35 closely, to attend the event of its launch and to ask questions to different officials.

First of all, the Russians, whether they are RSK Mig, Rostech, Rosoboronexport or elsewhere, are all formal, the Mig 35 will only be ready and will be delivered to its first customer within 18 to 24 Months according to the testing schedule. So there was not in 2015 when the contract between Russia and Egypt was signed for the delivery of 46 Mig hunters. This will be confirmed by M Mikheev, CEO of Rosoboronexport, affirming (see video) that a first tranche of the Mig 29M2 supply contract has been delivered to the Egyptian Air Force.

What about the Mig 35? No, according to Alexander Mikheev, Egypt is a serious candidate for this model after it is proposed for export. The latter insists however that the difference between the two planes is great and that the Mig 35 is much better than the model delivered to Egypt.

Nevertheless, in off, a Russian official will give us interesting details about the Egyptian contract. First, the Egyptian Mig 29 is different from the Mig 29M2 already built, it has more modern equipment because many components have become obsolete. For example the on-board computer is more powerful, the 3 MFD of the pilot are more recent and the HUD is more modern. The radar remains the same and the total capacities are similar to those of Mig 29M2 or even Mig 29SMT.

The capabilities of the Mig 29 that will be received by Egypt are great and is considered to be very effective to make missions of police of the sky or missions of interception. Moreover, its price is very competitive compared to that of the Su 30 or that of the F16. Unfortunately, it has no air-ground capability other than the release of guided TV, radar or inertial bombs and missiles because it does not have a laser designator.

It has the latest version of the RD33 engine, the MK which is not vector thrust. The radar is higher than that of the Zhuk M of the Mig 29 SMT, but is not considered EASA. This would be a modern derivative of Zhuk FE, which would have a greater accuracy than the 120 km of detection of the Zhuk M and would carry up to 140 km.

Russian engineers reportedly used new materials to reduce the radar reflection on the Mig 29M2 delivered to Egypt as well as an anti-radio electric treatment of the canopy. The fuselage remains the same as that of the conventional Mig 29 set by a modification of the air inlets.

It is capable of firing long range RVV-AE and R27 R1 and T1 missiles, short range R73 Ir missiles, firing KH 29, 31, 35 and 31P missiles, as well as various unguided bombs and rockets.

According to our contact would have one of the best versions of the Mig 29.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So we knew it didn't have TVC and that is an option according to MiG corporation and not standard on the MiG-35.

But is has no air to ground capability other than guided TV or inertial bombs because it doesn't have a laser designator?

We knew the radar wasn't the Zhuk-AE, but according to this fella it's a better (or "higher" as he said) version of the Zhuk-ME and a derivative of the Zhuk-FE with greater accuracy up to 120-140km.

The feuselage is exactly that of the MiG-35, I'm not sure what he's referring to with the air inlet modifications.

You could have added Menadefense.net was the source?
