MIG-41

Now that there is the SU-57 at the very least as a tech development reference, there are plans for Mikoyan to be the next one giving a shot at 5th gen.

However, with costs being the reason for purchasing only one batch of the SU-57 so far, why is so much more money going into a new interceptor? Does it have to do with some specific doctrine that has requires a whole class of fighters dedicated to it? Anyone here able to elaborate?

Is MiG-41 the one that was supposed to be an outer space fighter?

Can’t wait to see it never get made

Why 41? Wouldn't they have to make MiG-37 and MiG-39 first?

With Russians, you never know how many concept papers they already gave numbers to.

>They're still using some guys Deviantart concept art as proofs.

we literally have ZERO clue about their next supersonic interceptor

not even a fucking drawing or model or or or

>why is so much more money going into a new interceptor?
It probably isn't:
>Tarasenko told TASS that research and development as well as experimental design work on the MiG-41 will start "in the immediate future."

AFAIK nobody believes they will actually build this thing.
They can't afford their damn air superiority fighter, forget interceptors.

this fucking meme again

MIG has always been Shukoi on the cheap and disposable, I am right?
