MiG-35 equipped with AESA radar detects F-22 at 80 miles
Russia has officially announced the restart of serial production of the MiG-35 fighter jet, with deliveries planned for 2024. The MiG-35 is equipped with an AESA radar capable of detecting an F-22 at a distance of 80 miles. It can track up to 30 targets and engage six simultaneously, making it suitable for attacking tanks, ships, and heavy artillery. The MiG-35 is considered the most advanced Russian fighter jet and is highly maneuverable. While the Su-75 Checkmate is a promising development, the MiG-35 is seen as a necessary addition to Russia's air fleet in the current situation in Ukraine.
