Russia Tests MiG-35 Fighter Weapons
Russian pilots have tested the weapons and on-board equipment of the advanced MiG-35 fighter, the Russian Defense Ministry said in a statement Wednesday.
“Pilots of the aviation center, together with experts from the MiG Corporation, have evaluated the performance of a number of air-to-air and air-to-surface weapon systems,” the statement said.
They have also tested the performance of the on-board electronic equipment, integrated avionics control system and the aerodynamic stability and maneuverability.
The tests were carried out under the conditions of intensive resistance to electronic warfare devices, in which the on-board equipment proved its effectiveness in all operational ranges, the ministry said.
Special attention was paid to assessing the efficiency of the weapons’ guidance and control systems, checking the capabilities and characteristics of detecting airborne, ground-based and floating targets, it said.
