MiG "Stealth" UCAV revealed

[Raptor]

August 23, 2007 AD, Mikoyan Gurevich unveiled a full-sized mock-up of a proposed Russian "stealth" umanned combat air vehicle. In other words, a UCAV.

It will be developed to carry two cruise missiles for strikes on both naval and ground-based targets, or alternatively 1815kg of equipment. Weapons would include the X-31A anti-ship missile and the X-31P anti-radar missile, both variants of the AS-17 Krypton.

The layout resembles the Northrop Grumman X-47B UCAV, apparently, and it is intended to be powered by a Klimov RD-5000B turbofan, a maximum speed of 800 km/h and a 1995 km combat radius. The wingspan matches that of a MiG-29 Fulcrum (11.5 m), apparently, although it might look deceptively large.

Flying prototyped expected by 2009.

Hi Raptor
I posted something like this before but can't seem to find it I think it was this forum?   I was wondering if was the same and/or a follow up to it would be interesting to see if they made progress on it.   Can you post the link where you found this I would like to read more about it thanks.

Read about it in AFM, followed up with various sources online. Sorry, can't really help you there.

I know the pics are awesome, but if you would have read it as well, you would have known about this more than a month ago, lol

Haha thanks. I didn't see the MAKS report. Was using a bookmark link for some time.

Only just started browsing properly through the website again today.

[Webmaster]

Yes, you posted it as well, I think it was based on the AviationWeek report, which had access to it during MAKS.

You can skip about 25% of the news in the AFM, if you have watched MILAVIA. 

Are you a subscriber to AFM, Raptor?

I'm actually in Singapore, so i can't. Instead, i rush down to the newstand that sells it every time i'm in the area. I've been lucky so far. Been managing to get the very last copy, except for this month's, of which there was 3 issues left.

In any case, the pics in AFM are a lot easier to treasure than online, seeing they're on paper.
