    This video does not mention one huge change from the original: manufacturing. The 35M almost eliminates all rivets in it's construction, and utilizes more modern milling and welding techniques. The frame of the aircraft is like a whole new fighter that has the same shape as the 29. This is why the fuel capacity is much greater and it's service life vastly improved.

    I like the way MiG saves millions in developing & manufacturing by using the same fuselage & cockpit canopy for both the 2 seater & the single seater. With the single seater they apparently move a lot of the avionics from inside the fuselage to inside the cockpit, thereby freeing up more room for fuel. In a sense it reminds me of the straight fighter variant of the WWII Yak 7, which uses the same fuselage & cockpit enclosure as the Yak 7 advanced fighter trainer.

      Mig 35 is one of the best jets because:" The price is too good". There is no way, that the french aircraft that cost too much can compete with two Mig 35-not possible. The biggest down fall for the Rafael is that it is too expensive and you can buy two Mig 35 which will easily out do a Rafael no matter how good it is. Not only that , it is easy to repair, cheap to repair, easy to operate and also cheap to buy and can fight off or even down a Rafael. Even J17 can also down a Rafael. Thus the Indian wanted a plane but got the worse deal possible. That just wanted a change and got robbed by the french ha ha. None the less RAFAEL is not a bad deal but compare to Mig 35 it is...

    MiG-35 was offered to Malaysia but their air force quickly turned it down. They had bad experiences with Mikoyan aftersales service of their MiG-29Ns, a stark contrast to their Irkut Su-30MKMs. None of their MiGs fly now, but their Hornets which were bought around the same time still rocks on today, even will receive AESA upgrades soon.

    Yes Mig 29 us expensive to maintain. In Malaysia they were stationed closed to the sea which take a toll to its structure. Components failed many times even earlier than they should. So availability is also reduced. Hence why Malaysia retired it even with just 2000+ hours of 4000 hours of flying time. This is also why Malaysia hesitate to buy Mig-35 back then and even now.

      @@russiandispenser8482 That's not true. Serbia does not have the economic means or the need to buy Su-27 or 35. planes. By 2021 Serbia will have a total of 14 Mig 29 aircraft. 11 of SMT standard and 3 Mig 29 UB trainers. Vast majority of these aircraft were effectively purchased as a "free donation" from Russia & Belarus with Serbia only paying for the refurbishment and modernisation of said aircraft.
      Further more these Mig's that Serbia will have in it's inventory by 2021 are expected to last until 2030. So don't expect them to buy anymore modern interceptors soon unless they somehow experience an economic boom of epic proportions. Also Serbia is a small country and 11 Mig-29SMT fighters are enough to be used in an air policing role especially when backed up by half a dozen or so J-22 fighter jets.
      Realistically speaking if Serbia would look to beef up it's Air force fleet to accommodate their Mig 29s then they are better off at trying to purchase Chinese F-7 (Mig-21 variant) that have been produced until 2013 latest. It's based on an old model but comes with newish air-frame, near modern tech and ability to use sophisticated air to air weapons such as the magic.
