    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.

      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.

      @@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.

    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"

    • @AaronShenghao
      @AaronShenghao 2 ปีที่แล้ว +23

      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

      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 "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.

    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.

    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.

      The mig 21 was feared among all western countries, as being able to take them off with no effort. Until they captured one and studied it. Then it kinda shows that the main budget inserted in the plane was the propaganda around it. Just like the s400 currently letting old soviets tozca U ballistic missiles through it's "unpenetrable" airspace.
      It was still a good plane tho.

    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.

    The F-22's capabilities would smash an aircraft like this. First of all it would have to have a powerful radar to locate the F-22 if it had any hope of surviving a BVR cenario. That radar would be as noticeable as this aircrafts own signature by the F-22's superior Radar and stealth abilities. There is Currently no match in the skies that flies openly for the F-22!

    Well, the russians made the Su35M who can dance circles arround F22 with 3d vector thrusting ( something murica cannot produce) , and Su35M also have the ability to target and shoot missiles backward, due to its read radar.The Su57, now in serial production with the new engines ( 45-60 units/year) is already a gen ahead.

      Dance around all you like until an AMRAAM heading your way. Kind of like the scene in Indiana Jones when the guy dancing around with the swords but Indiana just take out a pistol and shot him with it? like that lol. This ain't the the 40s or earlier, maneuverability means jack sh!t.

      @@aptwo916 - you need 2 learn a thing or two about AA missiles, dude. Like for example, any AA missile have a (very) limited amount of energy to travel. A missile expends 90% + of the fuel just by getting close to the target, so if some manage to dodge a missile a couple of times, is a big chance that missile will fail.
      More, having a very maneuverable fighter means you will acquire your target faster and you have the first shot. Indeed, we are no more in 40s, EMW systems are present in most modern fighter, to fool / jamm a missile. Being maneuverable is a huge advantage, reason why we do not have bricks with wings up there !
      And comparing the very complex process of firing a missile from a fighter with Indiana Jones pistol is plain stupid and childish. I suppose the natural consequence of an education based in comic books...

      @@mirandela777 the AMRAAM rated range is 40+ miles, that is way beyond visual range for most air combat nowadays, upgraded version will go 120+ miles and can do Mach 5. Most current AA missiles are going at Mach 4+. There is no such thing as dodging the missile going at you at that speed. There are a few ways to defeat this but the most effective way currently is to reduce the RCS of the plane and try to get the missiles to lose lock. You are an idiot if you think you know anything about air combat. Looks like someone is projecting when you think I need more education. What a loser.
