dude just because you have a wish to own it doesen mean it will come true
the sole reason for the creation of the mig 35 was for the indian MMRCA tender
do you think russia is nut to have a full production line if its not gonna
1)win the MMRCA-which has a potential profit coz of the shear size of order-126 aircrafts which have the potential to increase
2)russia is not going to induct them they are only producing/upgrading the mig 29's
do you thing they will make a profit if they sell mere no of 30 jets to bangladesh? do you think it is economical for them.
there is no other customer at present other than a possible india, if you really want these birds for bangladesh pray that india opts to buy them (which seems a rare possiblity at present).
We have to remember that Mig 35 in not entirely a new fighter but a very advanced version of Mig -29. Yes structurally it is different to earlier version of mig 29 including the SMTs however they are based on airframe now used for Mig-29-K which are already in productions. The additional major changes (in Mig-35) includes AESA radar, integration of new advanced air-to -air and air-to- ground/ sea munitions in russian inventory which are currently under-development and TVC engines.
However as per latest news russians themselves would be inducting their MIG-29Ks with AESA radar. So In my opinion even if MIG-35 is not selected in MMRCA and ultimately not enter production, Russians might still offer and provide advanced MIG-29 very similar in specifications to MIG-35 to other foreign customers including Bangladesh if they request for it.
