Iran AESA radar:

Have a look at this, I told you, the Iranians are very capable... this is just one of their AESA radars

Iran unveils new naval phased array radar system - Worldnews.com

I know about their AESA radars, I don't know buddy, I'm just having a hard time buying it!!! I sounds ligit, looks ligit, but I just can't buy it for some reason!!!! Radar development especially AESA radars require very advanced technologies that Iran simply doesn't have! I dunno! But it sounds like the real deal! If it is, that is good for them! Hell man! Russia and China only made significant steps in AESA technology not so long ago!! And here comes little Iran with their own!! I dunno

It seems that this technology is quite old, Iraq was working on it in the times of Saddam, so it might as well be credible that iran has it today.

I dunno, but it would be good if they can, helps them a lot.

Mig-35 Combact zone 1000 Km , could reach Ethiopian Dam and all of northern Sudan .

pretty cool if this purchase goes through and already Egyptian Sat-2 with 1 meter resolution will help alot in gathering intellegence on Sudan and Ethiopia

Egypt Signing Unprecedented $3 Billion MIG-35 Deal with Russia

By: Jewish Press Staff
Published:
April 22nd, 2014

Ehud Ya’ari of Israel’s Channel 2 News reported on Tuesday night, that Egypt and Russia will be signing an unprecedented military agreement.

In this agreement between Cairo and Moscow, Egypt will receive 24 of Russia’s advanced Mikoyan MiG-35 fighter jets, along with military and strategic advisers, as well as training for the Egyptian Air Force.

The deal is worth $3 billion.

It follows in the footsteps of a $2 billion arms deal that Egypt signed with Russia in February, and was primarily funded by Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

The deal itself has been in the works since November, as JewishPress.com reported when Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu visited Cairo and Egyptian leader Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, and developed in response todecreased US military aid to Egypt.

This deal is a major setback to US policy and diplomacy in the Middle East, and is a direct slap in the face for U.S. President Obama.

The combat radius of the Mig-35 is 1000 km, the distance (one way) from the very south of Egypt to the dam site is over 2000 km, so without multiple refueling in mid-air such mission is impossible, and note that Egypt doesn't have any areal tankers. That combat radius is also without any ordinance on the Mig-35, a full combat load will decrease that number substantially. Just wanted to clear that for everyone :)

So is there also a deal for MIG 29 M2, or did they mistake it for MIG 35

The negotiations that have been ongoing since February were reportedly to settle on 'technical details'. At first the Russians may have been hesitant to give us the 35 so offered us the M2 but ultimately they caved in.

Well here is the thing, they are essentially the same Mig-29, but with 2 different radars, the Mig-35 has a better AESA radar, so it is a Mig-29 M\M2 with that radar! The question was will Russia give Egypt the radar or not? If they didn't, it would be called the Mig-29 M\M2, if they did, it'll be the Mig-35 and Mig-35D (two seater), same air-frame, choice of radar determines the designation.

I thought the Mig-35 had changes in its air frame compared to that of the 29 or did the Russians decide against it?

@vostok will know.

I see 1 issue, it's a very short range radar in both the MIG 29M2 and the AESA of the 35 compared to what radars can be put in the SU 30 and SU 35 ( 400 KM range ), other then that it's a fast aircraft with a lot of hardpoints now.

I agree with you, I strongly believe that was the most probable scenario, good for the EAF that they held their ground and got it! It is a tremendous asset. I think Egypt might have also wanted to assemble the jets locally, specially with the new assembly line available with no jets to assemble, that might have been as issue too.

I think Mig 29 - Mig 29 M2 has those major changes.

So mig 29 M2 - mig 35 would be little change.
