Russia’s MiG-35 is currently being viewed as an increasingly hard to sell combat jet, not only to the domestic military, but also to export customers.
The only known series-production order for the classic MiG-35 fighter, placed by the Russian Ministry of Defence (MoD), is negligibly small, accounting for six aircraft, with deliveries completed in 2021.
In turn, export customers have so far voted to purchase the less-advanced MiG-29M/M2 derivative, taking no fewer than 60 aircraft between 2017 and 2021.
