Serial purchases of the MiG-35 multirole fighter under the state arms procurement program will begin in 2019, President of the United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) Yury Slyusar said Thursday. He added that a presentation of the MiG-35 for potential foreign buyers will be held on January 27.

#3 Doesn't look stealthy at all.

I do find it ironic that its the -35. Hope it has the same amount of issues as the F-35.

#4 The short legs is not an issue, if one is using it per Russian military doctrine.
