Meet the MiG-41: Russia has plans for a 6th generation fighter to keep up with the United States and China.

But don’t hold your breath.

Western sanctions are keeping aviation components and microprocessors in short supply in Russia. The MiG-41 next generation fighter could be a bridge too far with a lack of money and resources to develop it fully.

There is a war on, and priority is with the army that is more focused on the building of tanks and the air force striving for more stand-off missiles. The MiG-41 may never make it to fruition, but let’s take a look at what Russia is planning to get a better idea about what a next-generation fighter means for Moscow.

“You must learn to think in Russian.”

Ok comrade, it’s good plane, but where do I put my vodka bottle?

[alexander_busek]

Glad to learn that Putin's Russia is wasting - presumably hundreds of - millions, developing advanced weaponry that it will never be able to afford to bring to fruition, let alone actually deploy in meaningful numbers!

Looks like that Iranian fighter, the one with the Kenwood cassette deck in its instrument panel.

[Jeff Chandler]

Maybe they’d be better off finishing the Su-57 first.

And it will be “equipped with anti-satellite missiles!” Aaaaaaa!

LOL!

“This project is not a myth but an old project for MiG!” LOL!

[familyop]

“In fact, reaching outer space...” ;D

[familyop]

I recommend that everyone watch the video. ;)

Most of these are intended mainly for foreign sales.

I don’t need to see anything other than that ridiculous CGI rendering to know that this “6th generation fighter” is 100% bluff. There is nothing about that shape that would be stealthy in the least, and overall it looks more like something a kid would draw than a viable aircraft. And “Mach 5?”…that thing, if it were real, wouldn’t even be capable of Mach 1. Look at the straight as a board wings! And the equally unswept horizontal stabilizer.

“Mach 5 6th generation fighter”…stop!, your killin’ me.

[SaveFerris]

Oh darn. You beat me to it.

EXACTLY what I was going to post.

Good job!

“Mach 5. Even Mach 6, and able to sustain it.”

“Your bosses thought you might need these. They got them from a MiG-25 they ‘borrowed’ from Syria.”

“Have the Russians given up on their sixth-generation MiG-41? While it sounds too good to be true with the few concrete details available in open source intelligence, it may have indicated what the defense acquisition profession calls the “valley of death.” This means that moving from the conceptual development planning stages to blueprints to prototypes is impossible without significant time, money and resources. Thus, the MiG-41 is far from a reality.”

As a side note. Have you ever gotten up close to a SR-71 or an early X craft?

They are all smooth as a baby’s butt. All that junk hanging off of this “aircraft” would be vaporized at Mach-5.

[Organic Panic]

Does Russia even have any pilots?

[Rockingham]

No, comrade — what is budgeted for the illusory MiG 41 will not be wasted but will become investments in dachas and other support for Putin and his cronies.

I recall SR-71s tended to run a little warm at high speeds. That must require a pretty rugged stealth coating.
