There's been a lot of discussion that the plane couldn't possibly have been "stealth" because of the rounded and protruding surfaces (deflection) and Russia's lack of radar absorbent material similar to the US's (absorption). Some believe the one that was built was done as a MiG 29 replacement with the plan to make it Raptor-like eventually, but it just wasn't going to be that much stealthier than an Su-27.
This seems like this, if fielded, would have been most like a less stealthy J-20. Mainly a long range missle truck. Run out, fire off all of it's many missles at whatever it could target then turn tail and run home.
“U.S. Stealth Programs and Technology: Soviet Exploitations of the Western Press.”
One of thing is that the Mig 1.44/MFI it doesn't look like an stealth plane, but it has a role more like an low observable means in radar it will detect but still it will take a huge time to detect leaving a small dot on a radar, I mean it will take huge difficult time to lock on radar. Mostly the RCS will be around 0.5m2 more like an European fighter typhoon/rafale. But still people really don't know the real RCS or maybe stealth capabilities of Mig 1.44/MFI it might be stealth, but not as stealthly as the F22, RCS (0.0001m2), F35 RCS (0.005m2), first serial model SU57 RCS (0.01m2~0.05m2) don't compare with test aircraft model T50 (0.1m2) as know as the prototype model of SU57, J20 RCS (0.08m2~0.025m2) compare to Mig 1.44. If the Mig 1.44/MFI was really wanted to make a stealth it does have RAM coating on it, but it looks more like an low observable aircraft, if they would want to make a perfect stealth plane with some changes such as stealth features and capabilities giving it a perfect stealth plane, then it would have been a great plane but rather it was an demonstrated technology/low observable more like a prototype model with the slightly improved version of this aircraft.
@@heatblast876 By those standards, the Gripen too is a stealth fighter.
@@jakobholgersson4400 First of all the JAS 39E version is a 4++ gen or 4.5 gen aircraft it has the same RCS 0.1m2 like the European fighter typhoon/Rafale or a F/A 18E still it is not as stealthly as the stealth aircraft that I have written on the first comment. But when you try to compare JAS 39 between Rafale and European fighter typhoon. Those are totally different categories. Rafale, European fighter typhoon and JAS 39E carries MBDA meteor BVR/IRST WVR the same weapons but with different radar, range, EW suite, some different weapons on bored and bombs on rafale/European fighter typhoon/JAS 39 that make a totally different level of all aircraft and engines performance. So they may look the same when you compare with JAS 39E to rafale/European fighter typhoon. They have carnads and same wing angle but when you look carefully they have totally different features such as intake, twin engine, length, height, radar, EW suite, weapons, different avionics and role/performance of the aircraft. So they might look the same at the diagram, but they are not look the same as you think. If you look closely there are totally different aircraft compare to the other aircrafts such as JAS 39E, Rafale and Euro fighter typhoon. So they might look the same, but they are totally different aircraft.
The production value of this video is miles better than the ones you’ve posted previously

@@FoundAndExplained Impressive growth.
I think no doubt the Chinese took inspiration from MiG 1.44 when designing their J-20, at least in the initial design phase.
Even though MiG themselves said they never shard any details with the Chinese. Perhaps they saw pictures of the MiG 1.44 and thought "we can try that layout too, since we do have experience with canards on J-17"
For a bit context, J-17 is a true clean sheet design from the Chinese and exported to Pakistan. Before that, planes are based on license produced designs (J-10, arguably J-15 even though Chinese never bought Su-33, they modified it themselves) Or in J-8's case, partially reverse engineered design
Funny enough, at one point China did studied Super-10 "twin J-10" and 1.44 layout, which the infamous J-14 CG was based on.
Jet designers would certainly learn from other jet designers. China is just not an exception. There's a paper of J20 designer explaining thoughts about next gen jets, it's not like that Chinese would build a jet similar to other jet, no serious countries would spend money like that.
@@AaronShenghao j17? that's jf17 another light aircraft without canards
No. Search J-9 VI-2. China came up with J-20’s layout during the MiG25 era, way before MiG1.44.
The original J-9 VI-2 was based on J-8’s long body, enhanced with advanced aerodynamics to make it maneuverable.
This was shelved as J-9 project eventually evolved into J-10. But the VI-2 variant design lived on and eventually became the J-20 some 30 years later.
The animations are getting better and better, amazing job 👍🏻
damn this is mustard level of production quality combined with found and explained quantity. absolute fire
I would not call it mustard level the quality is good but the atmosphere and smooth animation of mustard is 100 times better but as this channel makes so many vids so fast it is understandable

How did the 1.44 almost destroy the F-22? The YF-22 project was flying 9 years before the 1.44. By the time the 1.44 left the ground, it was already obsolete.
Clickbait. It’s like when people say the YF-23 is the one fighter that can beat the F22. It isn’t. That’s why the F22 was chosen.
"The YF-22 project was flying 9 years before the 1.44"
Guess why it took that long for 1.44 to fly when it was supposed to make its maiden flight in early 90s
@@sixty9inety actually the x-35 program is based on the yf-22 so the f-35 is based on Russian technology
@@QuenzaDuvalier509 bro your retardation is showing, the YF-22 is american.
@@sixty9inety the YF23 could beat the F22 but didn't.
The "sawtooth" on the leading edge of the canards wasn't just a foreign concept to Russian design bureau! In fact, the Il-62 had the similar sawtooth edges on its wings to break up the formation of vortices during a high angle of attack orientation and reduces chances of stalling; something that a tail-heavy plane like the Il-62 really needed without major redesigns of control surfaces.
Had the 1.44 went into production, a lot of flight assist computers would be installed into it just so it can fly without crashing. It was unstable by design to help with supermanuevrability in combat, something even the 5th gen Russian fighters are good at. Also, in a twist of fate it would look extremely close to the fictional "MiG-31" fighter in Clint Eastwood's Firefox down to its backward-firing missiles, an instance where life imitates art imitates life.
I first read about this aircraft way back in Air Force magazine's Soviet Aerospace Almanac 1985 (90% sure it was '85) though they called it the "MiG 2000" then. The illustrations at the time are remarkably close to what the actual aircraft looks like.
I can draw all kinds of fantastic _"Raptor Killers"_ on a napkin...
I've seen a T-Rex do it in a movie once.
Mbb lampyridae
Anyone remember the WoWkiller phase?
The lowered IR signature of the Cessna C150 makes it an ideal Raptor Killer, once weapons are mounted the F-22 won't stand a chance!
The thing is MiG 1.44 actually came close to being one
Enjoyed this vid tremendously. This is one of more obscure pages in the Russian aviation development that I really wanted to learn more about. THANK YOU!
A commonly misquoted detail: Project 1.44 (NATO codename Flatpack) was the technology demonstrator. MFI was Project 1.42 (Foxglove). Though the two are very similar, they are not actually the same plane. Think of it like the difference between the JSF X-35 and the F-35B; both have STOVL, but one is the finished product.
So this plane came nowhere close to destroying the F-22.
Wasn't even a still birth, this baby plane was straight aborted.😆
yup, not a stealth, wouldn't be able to find the F-22, or hide from it.

@@user-hg7hy8lv1m but he surpasses any fighter in everything even now. The technologies that were worked out on it are as relevant as possible, so the price of the program is also justified.

The quality of your content and editing is so damn good 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
One of the best aircraft chanel
Will all the prototypes that were never made
Amazing
The aircraft alone is only the tip of the iceberg though, you need everything else to support them.
You have a point here.
As we've seen with Russian advanced technology in the Ukranian war, your fancy tanks are worthless if you don't have the meat to back up the metal.
@@BoisegangGaming A guy who runs a TH-cam channel named Subbrief was a former Submarine Sonar operator. He said that Russia commissioned some of the best Submarines and are only best as long as they are brand new. But the problems with Russian military is that their discipline for MAINTENANCE is mediocre if downright pathetic. One of the huge Borei class subs could be tracked by the noise of a worn out bearing of a waterpump alone. It goes to show that maintenance of weapons ends up becoming far more expensive than building them. Makes you wonder what the state of Russian nuclear stockpile is.
Hours of flight training for the crews are crazy expensive and essential. Russia didn't have the money for that so until Syria their pilots had almost never piloted their toys.
Also PGM are very important for modern aircraft and russian requires foreign component for theirs so their planes don't have the modern weaponry of the western counterparts.
The rear shooting missile is weird to me because most modern engagement don't reach dogfight and are usually line of sight missile targeting.
@@legiran9564 Honestly, while a lot of sources about Russian stuff is unreliable (including stuff that apparently comes out of Russia itself), I do think we can definitely draw conclusions that in terms of technology, economy, and culture, they're not doing so well.
Reminds me of the memes about the US being a They/Them army while the Russians are super manly and all that (DUAL WIELD RPKS WITHOUT A SHIRT)... and then it turns out conscripts are treated like shit, there's no espirit de corps, ethnic infighting between "white" Russians and minorities is common and even involves "jokes" of genocide, some training officer decided to say the most culturally offensive thing you can say to a devout Muslim and then give said Muslim a MG nest to train with, with predictable results....
Russia was only the 2nd strongest military in the world because it's not allied with the US. Honestly, I'm pretty sure if the EU had their own Defense Force, that would be the second largest army (though China is a contender from population alone, but has been struggling with the virus-that-must-not-be-named and its own tech base is struggling to modernize).
Russia is literally like its dictator: It likes to show strength, but can't back it up when push comes to shove except for "well if you don't give me what I want I'm nuking you and this isn't a bluff".
Looks like a good aircraft. Shame it never went into production. Also, excellent animations once again.
Description of 80% of russian planes
@@thenatron6136looks and sounds good on paper but sucks irl lol.
Thank you for your work!
Damn, these keep getting better than perfect editing.
Also, what is the music at the beginning of the explanation before the sponsor segue?
A couple of things are wrong about this. The Mig MFI wasn't commissioned to replace the Su27. It was meant to work alongside it. Also stealth wasn't as big a priority because the Soviets were not going to sell the new Mig. It was going to be purely for the sake of a leg up on the US in the event of a confrontation. The Soviets felt that technology+ flight performance beat stealth. Based on declassified information from past engineers we know that the Mig MFI could be detected in X Band from 80km (from the front) and the Su27 at that time could be detected from 250km by the same radar. Which is impressive.
The Mig 1.44 was reborn as the Chinese J20.
I was going to mention this!
According to MiG themselves, nope. They didn't share any data on it. Perhaps the Chinese saw the pictures and thought, hey we can try do something like that.
The last time China had any dealing with MiG was they wanted to license produce MiG-21. But the blueprints sent my MiG didn't match the initial knockdown kits from MiG. Chinese intercepted MiGs destined for the Vietnam War to study them...
Needless to say the Chinese aren't happy with MiG after that. (J-8 was based on MiG-21, and if you take a look they only have jets bought from Sukhoi after that. They never bought MiG 23,25,29 or 31)
Yes and no. There surely have been inspirations taken, but China had already published a similar twin engine canard design in the 1970s, which was more similar to the J20.
@@AaronShenghao There were reports out of Russia that China paid $500m to Mikoyan for their expertise on the development of the J20 as consultants.

It’s design sorta lives on in the J-20. They have similar planform layouts.
@@aerospacematt9147 yeah, but there is something about anything chinese that means it can't be put into the same sentence with awesome, at least in my book.
@@mac_pls I was agreeing that it was a shame the MiG didn’t see service. There are several design aspects that went on to be part of the J-20.
But it almost destroyed the f22 gotta remember that
Take a picture of the Avro Arrow. It was tooled up right from the start for production. They were making and changing the plane during production so that it would see full production from the start of the project. I know from experience that jigging up from the start is essential to cost effectiveness....
Thanks for this.
It would be about as accurate to say as, the concept drawing that almost destroyed the F22.
To me, there's only one other aircraft who could beat the F-22 - hypothetically speaking - and that's the YF-23.
F-35 with its superior stealth and radar technologies.
@@georgethompson913 F-35 stealth isn't superior
Su 57 could beat it easily

One of these appeared in the book “Raven One” by Kevin Miller, flown by secondary antagonist Hariri. In the book’s timeline, a small number of production 1.44’s were completed and at least one was exported to Iran. The book itself is actually quite good, I’d recommend reading it if you’re a fan of military aviation.
You post more often than all my other favourite channels 😂
Did they save it all to a floppy? Actually. The concept of a missile firing backwards is something I've wondered about since the 80s. I've also wondered why they don't have camera's aimed at the wings and tail of commercial planes because it would probably help a lot
High off boresight missiles along with helmet cueing systems, DAS/EOTS and powerful software models capable of sensor fusion make this possible with the F35
Fun fact the Russian tu bomber is the only aircraft in the world with this capability

Been waiting for a mig update. Love the Mig and Su line of fighters. They're something else truly. Like art In the sky
And found to be quite underwhelming and under performers over the skies of the Ukraine. And to think, all our Western fighter pilots have trained to go up against the Flanker and Fulcrum expecting them to be equal to if not better than their western equivalent 4th gen aircraft. How wrong were we?
But they’re never built 😂
I understand where you're coming from granted I never mentioned anything about air to air combat. With the right pilot/expertise and knowledge of their machine one could prove deadly for sure in the right scenario. Due to the fact there has not been any actual battle between air superiority Fighters today that'll be a question answered down the line. As for my original statement I was more leaning towards how graceful they are at speed not to mention Timeless lines as far as their look. Nobody can oppose that
Though I agree about their performance during the Ukraine situation I will say that. I don't know how much they have on hand as far as numbers that they can use but they also utilize single seat capability I'm no pilot but I would venture to say having a Rio with you would definitely help smooth out any stresses that you would have to deal with yourself while keeping your jet and ass dry otherwise boom. On a side note I've been following n g a d and waiting for more updates to see what's going to come to fruition 6th gen Fighters is going to be a benchmark for aircraft all around Mach numbers like we've never seen
@@smeary10 You have no idea what is happening in Ukraine. And your western fighters are lucky because most Soviet and Russian planes are better than yours.
That's one funky looking Typhoon
To be 5th generation , although it varies by county, needs to be able to SuperCruise at Mach 1+ speeds without the use of afterburners, have both active and passive stealth capabilities, thrust vectoring (in some cases) and a highly automated augmented reality fully computerized flight control system, and beyond visual range weapon systems. 6th Gen, which we likely have already developed and are flying to some degree, have all of these, as well as allowing for either direct or remote control autonomous piloting, AI for flying, targeting and weapons / systems and flight management and the ability to serve as a mothership to companion drones like the Lockheed Loyal Wingman and Northrop X47B
I suppose if we are going to compare the F-35 and F-22 to imaginary aircraft then the Imperial Tie Fighter could also be a serious threat.

The nose and cockpit definitely came from Eurofigher. But I won't be surprised, the only prototype was super early concept. Cockpit looked comically small...
When he said "answer to the f22 raptor..." it showed an eurofighter typhoon lol
instead of a dual engine heavy fighter they should have created the single engine light fighter that could complement the Sukhoi 27 .
...and such light fighter could replace the ageing MiG-29. As a result of the 1.44 program's failure, Russia currently lacks any advanced light, cheap-ish fighter.
@@jnorth6022 mig 35 is almost as expensive as the more capable su 30 so yes you are right

They actually built 1. A flying fully functional one. The Russian defense budget just couldn't afford it in meaningful numbers.
it did fly, but because of the troubles in Russia after 1991 it took nearly ten years to get it to flight prototype and at that point it was too late and too expensive for Russian government.

How different would the world be if every country had the same defence budget? I saw the MiG 144 at that very airshow, MAKS 2015! Saw the SU-57 fly that day along with the SU-35 & 34! Very impressive!!
Their interaction is more important, not just budget. What flies on the show is just a beautiful airframe, but without Western electronics and stuffing, avionics are generations behind.
The Su-34 has great potential, but today it is forced to fly directly over enemy fire and is already suffering heavy losses. It's madness
What is the song at the begging of this?
-Honey, where are our plates

Russia is always almost having this fantastic ultimate weapon that will flip the table ...
Here, just like the Germans had during the war. :)
The same was said about the Su-57. It's always better, bigger, more weapons capability, faster, and better than the F-22, yet they never show up. I could come up with a concept. How about first engaging and defeating Ukranian Su-27s and Mig-29s?
If it has no serial it didn’t almost destroy anything, hell I don’t even think Russia could beat themselves
@@landonhall4875 When the curtain is pulled back, Russian, like China are pretending to equal adverasies to American military technology and its personnel.

I've always admired Russian aviation from a distance, seeing the awesome airshow videos, and reading that they on par with the U.S. Air Force. But seeing what has happened in Ukraine, I like many who have served in the military were shocked to the losses of Russian equipment and forces. 55 Russian warplanes shot down since this phase of the Russo-Ukrainian war in Feb 2022...

This is literally what the J20 was based on
Everything is different. From intake placement to canard position.
Didn't China had a delta canard design concept long before the 1.44?
@@Joshua_N-A It doesn't matter. General aerodynamic concepts are both obvious and known for +-100 years. First aircraft was a canard!
It was assembled in 1988 in Горький city I worked in Iraq at that time with the guys who did it and up to 1993 it was kept secret at ЛИИ Жуковский city.
This is more of a Russian Eurofighter typhoon than a response for F-22
Agreed however it doesn't have the canards as far forwards which is done on the Eurofighter to maximise instability in pitch and reduce drag while maneuvering at supersonic speed. While it might match Eurofighter for speed and altitude it probably doesn't match the sustained supersonic turn performance.
@@Akm72 speed and altitude are easy. ‘Some 50’a planes are comparable to modern ones on those factors.
@@Justanotherconsumer Indeed. I sometimes refer to the Eurofighter as a 'have your cake and eat it' kind of fighter because it has all the advantages of a late 1950s supersonic fighter with the delta wing while the disadvantages have all been reduced or eliminated and so it can also turn at subsonic speeds like a 1970s teen-series fighter.

No way this aircraft would have been stealthy.
It would be stealthier than Su-47, except the later then have stealth coating on it (at least the purposed export version).
But yes, it wasn't designed to have stealth coating, after all it's a early prototype. Plus, they were trying to do something like active jamming like MiG-31 does.
@@AaronShenghao It did have plasma stealth.

One of my favourite planes in HAWX 2… ah, the memories!
In which videogame did that happen?
I think it's a very capable and extremely gorgeous aircraft. They never should have canceled it.
Sure, it's a pretty plane but it doesn't look like it belongs in the same Era/Generation as X/F-22 and X-23.
It was never finished, so there is no way to say it is capable of anything. It only flew a couple times and not with armament of any kind. I think the fastest it ever flew was between 350-400 mph, so you can’t even say if it would fly supersonic. The idiot that runs this channel makes a lot of videos like this. He finds information about designs/blueprints of aircraft that were either never built or never finished testing and claims them to be superior to other proven aircraft. Most likely he is some 14 year old that gets most of his information from video games.
@@ezragoldberg3132The F-22 looked like a slightly bigger F-15 with a few tweaks when it first came out. The F-22 you see today came out more than a decade after the cancellation of the MiG.

The serial fighter was the MiG 1.42 with a double delta wing and a V-shaped air intake.
Supposedly it had a weapons bay and a stealth plasma system.
while developing the 1.44 they were also developing 1.46 which was to be a heavily upgraded version of it, likely including more stealth components
Stealth plasma? I doubt it would have went that fast to generate any sort of plasma around it, nor do I think it could have withstood those sorts of forces.
Then Maverick came along and shot down three of their MiGs and two of their Su’s.
Wow thanks 👍
As a kids playing it beneath C&C generals, Already built them in the form of papercraft model
First off: Woah, Hamilton's here too...
Second: This jet _could_ have destroyed the F-22 (Rather, it would have been comparable to the F-22 but not overtly better in any meaningful way), but then the Soviet Union realized, "Oh shit, we have no money." and dissolved.
Stalin and Lenin died, that's why he dissolved
Awesome vid, and great quality as others have said but...
When it comes to stealth, those forward canards, and MASSIVE squarish air intakes... stealthy it is not... and most of all Russia still as of yet, has not perfect the stealth coating which is at least 50% of the "stealthiness" or more. Some reports say the newest US stealth coatings alone absorb 90% of radar waves.
These planes would be, or would have been shot down with out even knowing what is happening if they took on F-22s or F-35s, especially if the conflict was with Israeli Airforce.
Why especially with the Israeli Air Force?
3:53 every one forgets about the gripen
Can’t wait!!!
It’s never gonna exist bud
Bro I was talking about his video I was waiting for it to come out😂
@@chasethompson3645 oops 😂
Russia has been struggling to get into the 5th Generation for years, and this aircraft shows how behind they always are. The SU-57, while impressive on paper, still lacks the production quantity and quality to be a serious competitor. I don't think we'll ever see the Russians on the cutting edge again.
Plus, the Su-57 isn’t stealth when carrying a payload. It has no internal weapons bay.
@@_XPXI The Su-57 has an internal weapons bay, so does the J-20
@@_XPXI where the hell did you get that? the su-57 has a weapons bay
@@_XPXI 😂 get your facts right kid.
This plane was what made me believe that the Russian tech was over hyped.
So much of Russian tech is overhyped, and there's been a whole bunch of schadenfreude about how poor that has been.
Yes, they can make advanced things, but they can't support or maintain them.
The US, however, can make advanced stuff and does, and has plenty of capital, industrial, and economic might to support it. Even if the US military budget was slashed in half, it still would have more resources than Russia.
That plane with backwards wings is awesome
Were they going to genetically engineer a Clint Eastwood to fly the aircraft?
I don't understand the Russian mind set they want a fighter that can do everything to compete with America but don't want to pay for it. Why wouldn't you prioritise maybe stealth and scrap maneuverability then you just change tactics and make it affordable yet still competitive. I would prioritise stealth and supercruise limit the missiles it can carry if it helps with cost/Weight. Missiles it can carry isn't the be all end all because these would fly in pairs at least.
Because they don’t have money after the collapse they are completely broke, but as of now they are focusing on increasing weapon productions
Supercruise is only good for air superiorty fighters. Other than that it's pretty useless.
The only plane that would have been more capable than the raptor to this date would have been the blackwidow
F22 is a hangar queen
For a moment, I thought from the render we were talking about the movie Firefox.
A redesigned MiG 144 model was on display at the MAKS 2021. Perhaps hinting a comaback...
No, it was a restored old prototype.
He will then go to the museum forever.
The road to the sky is closed for this aircraft.
The MiG 1.44 live on in the form of the Chengdu J-20
Yes indeed. If you parked the MiG 1.44 and J-20 together, It's so obvious to even a no-brainer that the Chinese use the MiG 1.44 as the baseline for the J-20.
Imagine, 2 aircraft built for the same role looking similar. Wow.
