What about MIG-35 jets to Bangladesh

The Mikoyan MiG-35 is a further development of the MiG-29M/M2 & MiG-29K/KUB technology. It is classified as a 4++ generation jet fighter by its manufacturer.

The MiG-35 was officially unveiled when the Russian Minister of Defence, Sergey Ivanov, visited Lukhovitsky Machine Building Plant "MAPO-MIG".

The single seat version is designated MiG-35 & the two-seat version is MiG-35D.

The fighter has vastly improved avionics and weapon systems, notably the new AESA radar and the uniquely designed Optical Locator System (OLS), relieves the aircraft from relying on ground-controlled interception (GCI) systems and enables it to conduct independent multi-role missions.

yes will be good for Bangladesh if they can afford it.

Besides i don't know whether the structural problems of Mig 29 have been rectified if not then it will be hard to maintain too.

Design

The most important changes are the Phazotron Zhuk-AE active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar, the RD-33MK engines and the newly designed Optical Locator System (OLS). Other obvious changes in the cockpit are the reduction in analog electronics.

Powerplant

The RD-33MK "Morskaya Osa" (Russian: Морская Оса, literally: "Sea Wasp" or Chironex fleckeri) was installed by the new modification. It is the latest version of the RD-33 and was intended to power the MiG-29K and MiG-29KUB.

It has 7% more power compared to the baseline model due to the use of modern materials in the cooled blades, providing a higher thrust of 9,000 kgf. In response to earlier criticism, the new engines are smokeless and include systems that reduce infrared and optical visibility.

The engines may be fitted with vectored-thrust nozzles, which would result an increase in combat efficiency by 12 to 15%.
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.

Cockpit

Analogue electronics are minimized, being replaced by 3 equal-size colour liquid-crystal (LCD) multi-function displays (MFDs) and an additional display for the OLS (the MiG-35D rear cockpit has four LCDs).

Sensors

New modifications include the newly rolled-out Phazotron Zhuk-AE active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar and an optronic complex consisting of the newly designed OLS to replace the previous IRST sensor, an additional OLS under the right air intake, and a pair of laser emission detectors on each wing tip.

The Phazotron Zhuk-AE AESA radar offers a wider range of operating frequencies, providing more resistance to electronic countermeasures (ECM), more detection range, more air and ground targets detected, tracked and able to be engaged simultaneously. The radar is thought to have detection range of 160 km (86 nmi) for air targets and 300 km (160 nmi) for ships.

The OLS, a new development from space technologies, incorporates a helmet-mounted target designation system providing targeting solutions for both ground and air targets in the forward and aft hemispheres of the aircraft.

The most vital difference from the previous IRST sensor is that the new device provides not only a better operation range but also offers manually switchable display options of IR view, TV mode or a mix of both that significantly improves man-machine coordination. The OLS on the nose serves as the IRST while the OLS under the right air intake serves as the ground strike designator.

In air combat, the optronic suite allows:

Detection of non-afterburning targets at 45 km range and more
Identification of those targets at 8 to 10 km range; and
Estimates of aerial target range at up to 15 km.

For ground targets, the suite allows:

A tank-effective detection range up to 15 km, and aircraft carrier detection at 60 to 80 km
Identification of the tank type on the 8 to 10 km range, and of an aircraft carrier at 40 to 60 km; and
Estimates of ground target range of up to 20 km.

The defensive system equipment consists of radar reconnaissance, electronic countermeasures, and optical systems — notably the laser emission detector on each wingtip — which are able to detect and evaluate the approaching danger and operate decoy dispensers to counteract the approaching threat in the radar and infrared ranges.

Bangladesh should maintain 36 MIG-35 jets to have a strong Air Defence Command

 

[Nav]

Why not For Srilanka? THEY can Easily afford 50 mig 35 Instead of Flying Junks..lol

 

[bd_4_ever]

Are you guys gone insane!!!....Mig-35 and BD...?!? A realistic level of speculation should be maintained for God sake....

Come on BD members, lets all take a 'dive of hope' under Arctic ocean and find treasures to finance the maintenance cost....


Cheers!!!

 

[Patriot]

I think Gripen is perfect choice for Bangladesh.Reliable, Mobile and low maintenance.

 

[Guynextdoor]

^^^ Gripen is expensive. Mig 35 is a great aircraft+ the BD AF already operates Migs, so their infra is adjustable far more easily to Mig 35 than to Gripen. On the whole a good idea.

 

[WAQAS119]

Ah!!!!!!!!! JFT will be perfect for them! Capabilities of Gripen at low cost.

Hey Waqas...

Nice job with PS....you got talent man....... do take time out put your creativity in to some other fighters also...
