Awake Goy After testing is completed, the state-of-the-art aircraft will be delivered to the Kubinka airbase in Moscow Region, where Strizhi are currently stationed, Lieutenant General Andrey Yudin of the Russian Air Force said.
The new Russian multirole fighter jet, designed by the Mikoyan Aircraft Corporation (MiG), can fly at speeds of over 2,500km/h and reach altitudes of up to 17,500 meters. The aircraft is a further development of the MiG-29M and MiG-29K fighters.
Russia launched flight tests of the MiG-35 with a view to potentially using laser guns back in January 2017. In November, some 30 nations were ready to upgrade their ageing warplanes with the new Russian multirole planes, Director General of MiG Ilya Tarasenko told Bloomberg at that time.
In the meantime, Strizhi, along with the Russian Knights, dazzled spectators with aerobatic tricks using Sukhoi SU-27 and MiG-29 fighter jets in Kubinka on Saturday. The show marked the 80th anniversary of the Center for the Display of Aviation Equipment.
