So according to this article and video, Alexander Mikheev of Rosoboronexport at MAKS 2017 was asked by this guy what exactly is the MiG model that Egypt is getting. His answer is in Russian in the video but this is supposedly the translation, and apparently this MiG is something between the MiG-29M/M2 and the MiG-35, but it's neither!?

VIDEO. Mig 35 Egyptian: the end of the myth!

Mig 29 M2 or Mig 35? the Egyptian Air Force, who is about to receive its first fulcrums kept the mystery. That ho has not been the case of social networks where real information war took place between the supporters of the idea that the order concerned Mig 35 and those who felt that he could not act Of Mig 29M2.

During our visit to the MAKS Air Show organized by Rostec, we had the opportunity to see the MIG 35 closely, to attend the event of its launch and to ask questions to different officials.

First of all, the Russians, whether they are RSK Mig, Rostech, Rosoboronexport or elsewhere, are all formal, the Mig 35 will only be ready and will be delivered to its first customer within 18 to 24 Months according to the testing schedule. So there was not in 2015 when the contract between Russia and Egypt was signed for the delivery of 46 Mig hunters. This will be confirmed by M Mikheev, CEO of Rosoboronexport, affirming (see video) that a first tranche of the Mig 29M2 supply contract has been delivered to the Egyptian Air Force.

What about the Mig 35? No, according to Alexander Mikheev, Egypt is a serious candidate for this model after it is proposed for export. The latter insists however that the difference between the two planes is great and that the Mig 35 is much better than the model delivered to Egypt.

Nevertheless, in off, a Russian official will give us interesting details about the Egyptian contract. First, the Egyptian Mig 29 is different from the Mig 29M2 already built, it has more modern equipment because many components have become obsolete. For example the on-board computer is more powerful, the 3 MFD of the pilot are more recent and the HUD is more modern. The radar remains the same and the total capacities are similar to those of Mig 29M2 or even Mig 29SMT.

The capabilities of the Mig 29 that will be received by Egypt are great and is considered to be very effective to make missions of police of the sky or missions of interception. Moreover, its price is very competitive compared to that of the Su 30 or that of the F16. Unfortunately, it has no air-ground capability other than the release of guided TV, radar or inertial bombs and missiles because it does not have a laser designator.

It has the latest version of the RD33 engine, the MK which is not vector thrust. The radar is higher than that of the Zhuk M of the Mig 29 SMT, but is not considered EASA. This would be a modern derivative of Zhuk FE, which would have a greater accuracy than the 120 km of detection of the Zhuk M and would carry up to 140 km.

Russian engineers reportedly used new materials to reduce the radar reflection on the Mig 29M2 delivered to Egypt as well as an anti-radio electric treatment of the canopy. The fuselage remains the same as that of the conventional Mig 29 set by a modification of the air inlets.

It is capable of firing long range RVV-AE and R27 R1 and T1 missiles, short range R73 Ir missiles, firing KH 29, 31, 35 and 31P missiles, as well as various unguided bombs and rockets.

According to our contact would have one of the best versions of the Mig 29.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So we knew it didn't have TVC and that is an option according to MiG corporation and not standard on the MiG-35.

But is has no air to ground capability other than guided TV or inertial bombs because it doesn't have a laser designator?

We knew the radar wasn't the Zhuk-AE, but according to this fella it's a better (or "higher" as he said) version of the Zhuk-ME and a derivative of the Zhuk-FE with greater accuracy up to 120-140km.

The feuselage is exactly that of the MiG-35, I'm not sure what he's referring to with the air inlet modifications.

"In addition to the IRST, the MiG-29s ordered by Egypt will be equipped with the PPK targeting pod comprising thermal imager/TV systems and laser rangefinders allowing the employment of not only precision-guided munitions (PGM), e.g. bombs and missiles carrying TV or laser homing heads, but also ‘dumb’ munitions with a circular error probable (CEP) of tens of centimeters.

The OLS-UE and PPK have been developed and manufactured by the same company - Precision Instrument Systems, a subsidiary of the Roscosmos State Corporation.

The Russian Aerospace Force’s (RusAF) fleet of MiG-29s is equipped with IRSTs too, but the latter are rather a means of dogfighting, a RusAF officer says. According to the source, the IRST designed for the Egyptian MiG-29s both feeds TV and IR imagery to a display in the cockpit and, if need be, ‘paints’ the target using the integral laser rangefinder that creates a laser spot invisible to the naked eye but quite visible to homing PGMs. (Emphasis added—Ed.)"

On the possibility of supply Egypt modernized MiG-29 (sometimes referred to as the MiG-35) speak for a long time, says the manager of the enterprise aviation industry, several times publicly stated this MiG CEO Sergei Korotkov.

At the same time there is a good chance that in the future the volume of orders will increase, for example, due to the imminent signing of the Russian-Egyptian contract for 46 fighters MiG-35 the total amount of about $ 2 billion and the willingness of the Russian Federation Air Force to start in 2018 the hiring of at least 30 units of modernized MiG -35S

In January, a Russian military journalist at the Interfax news agency announced that the MiG president said that the company decided to drop the Mig-29M / M2 assignation and become Mig-35.

This is the source for 52 Migs

"Some African media reported that Egypt bought 50 MiG-29M / M2 fighters of Russian production, said "military parity" with reference to altair.com.pl (April 12). Egypt will receive 46 MiG-29M single and six double MiG-29M2. The first information appeared in February, but had no details. A preliminary agreement was signed between the Ministry of Defense of Egypt and the Russian agency "Rooboroneksport" in April 2015. The first two aircraft will be handed over to the Egyptian Air Force (Al-Qūwāt al-Gawwīyä al -Misrīyä) until the end of the year, the supply of aircraft to be completed by 2020, said Deputy Director General of RAC MiG Aleksey Beskibalov. In 2015, Egypt has bought Russian arms for a total of US $ 5 billion, including SAM "Buk M2E" and "Antey-2500" (C-300B), 46 Ka-52 helicopters." Military Parity

Zhuk-MSF (Export Designation Zhuk-MSFE) former N031 Sokol series
N031 Sokol series were originally separate radar family from Zhuk family. But were relabeled under "Zhuk" label. Offered for Sukhoi family and also as an alternative radar for the MiG-31 interceptor as opposed to the standard N007 Zaslon radar.[12] Sokol/Zhuk-MFSE use Phazotron's unique radial distribution arrangement in the backplane waveguide feed, and proprietary radiating element placement. The Zhuk-MFSE offers detection performance up to 180 km vs a 5 m2 RCS target with up to 30 targets tracked and up to 6 attacked at once in air-to-air mode. The radar has a weight of 305 kg. The radar uses a PESA antenna, which has a diameter of 980 mm with a peak power output of 8 kW with 16 carrier frequencies.[13] Sokol/Zhuk-MF is also frequency agile with LPI and anti-ECM features.

Yeah, it's the MiG-34.5.

the IRST designed for the Egyptian MiG-29s both feeds TV and IR imagery to a display in the cockpit and, if need be, ‘paints’ the target using the integral laser rangefinder that creates a laser spot invisible to the naked eye but quite visible to homing PGMs.

So it does have a laser designator, lol. I thought that video was funny.
I hope they order as many as they can, now that they committed to it.

Sounds very loud. You would think double rotors would produce double the sound, it seems like it!
Sounds louder than the thumping of a Blackhawk or Apache. Nice.

The new Egyptian octagon (military entity)

The project was launched in May 2016 and will be completed in May 2018. It is being implemented by: Arab Contractors - Sayak - Shorouq.

In response to the expected inquiries regarding the buildings are separate and are not connected to each other: Modern military installations are connected to a network of underground passages and tunnels to be reinforced and protected from bombs and missiles, especially vital structures that may contain command and control centers and operating rooms.

Looking forward to Bright Star next month. It's been a long time. I remember the 1st one back in 1980 in Egypt. I was a young lad and many of you weren't even born then looool.

The new Egyptian octagon (military entity): one unit look

Al-Watan newspaper reported Thursday that the Arab Organization for Industrialization will begin production of the T-98 Kombat armored vehicle within weeks, with a local manufacturing rate of 70% in cooperation with a European country (Estonia).

It's likely for the army and the police..

And also for overseas marketing as it is very suitable for African and Arab countries..

I can't understand the picture the first picture suggests that there are several buildings of same shape or there is only one building ? @Frogman
