I was just on this website and i found a section on the MiG 35, but it is kinda old. I wanna know if anyone has anymore info on this plane.

Here is the link to the site that i found:

I think the MiG-35 and the one on the page your link takes to are two different things.
The MiG-35 is, as far as I know, a MiG-29 M2, with TV.
What do you say?

No Viggen, I think you're referring to the J-10 that the Chinese recently came out with.  Fact is,  the J-10 was built with the aid of the Israelis, so much so that the J-10 is really an Israeli fighter that was developed a couple of years back, but now it has the Chinese flag on it.   I got this info on the lates combat aircraft mag.

Ohh, they looked so similar at first. So this MIG-35 is it in service or still a flying prototype? According to the link by Gripen they would not accord any new planes until after 2005...  :)

Both aircraft were experimental.  Russia doesn't have the finances to mass produce these aircrafts.  And if they did, it would certainly be in very, very limited numbers.

As it says on the page:

Quote
The project has been under development since 1986, is variously designated the 1.42, the 1.44, I-42 and I-44 - the "MiG-35" and "MiG-39" designations are informally applied by some observers.

This time it is the media that made up the MiG-35 designation, not even the MiG design bureau. However MiG OKB has recently accounced to call its MiG-29OVT (MiG-29M2 with TVC probably yeah) the MiG-35 in the marketing campaign. However the MiG-35 which will be taken in production (if so) might even not be the same as the MiG-29OVT...making the latter again a one-aircraft designation. Now to make it all worse, if the Russian AF decides to buy the MiG-35, it is not sure it will adopt the designation! It might go back to MiG-33, or just call it MiG-29M3 or whatever. As you know the Russian AF flies the Su-27M, does not use Sukhoi's Su-35 designation for it. But the Navy however did adopt the Su-33 a few years back for the Su-27Ks. Really strange, those Russians.

I cant work out aircraft people

it would be so much easier to stick a jet engine in a bus and pack it full of explosives and fly/drive that into whatever they want to die!

itd be cheaper, and theres like millions of buses in the world.

Right, Gripen. Just right.

I enjoyed it alright. Hm. I agree with you there, but thse Russians have been known to do strange things with aircraft designs...
