The Mikoyan MiG-35 (Russian: ?????? ???-35; NATO reporting name: Fulcrum-F) is a Russian multirole fighter that is designed by Mikoyan, a division of the United Aircraft Corporation (UAC). Marketed as a 4++ generation jet fighter, it is a further development of the MiG-29M/M2 and MiG-29K/KUB fighters.[8][9] According to a Russian defense industry source Mikoyan MiG-35 is essentially an upgraded variant of MiG-29KR.[10][7] Many consider MiG-35 a new name given by Mikoyan for marketing.[11][12][13][14][15] The first prototype was a modification of the aircraft that previously served as a MiG-29M2 model demonstrator given temporary name MiG-35 but a later prototype was a different model with different equipment that served as the base for the MiG-35 as is known today. Mikoyan first officially presented the MiG-35 internationally during the 2017 Moscow air show;[1] the first two serial production aircraft entered service in 2019.
